There's a lot of dancing going on in Philadelphia this weekend. Details below.
1. Weekend Workshops The Philadelphia Argentine Tango School (http://philadelphiatangoschool.com) is delighted to present workshops with Evan Griffiths of New York City this weekend (August 2/3). The workshops are almost totally full, and there will be no registration at the door. If you're interested in registering, please contact me immediately (617-291-3798 or [email protected]). The following slots are still available: Saturday, 2nd class: Quickness, Fluidity and Rock Steps - space for 1 leader Saturday, 3rd class: Perfect Boleos Made Easy - space for 2 leaders Sunday, 1st class: Practical Uses of the Offbeat - space for 4 leaders and 1 follower Sunday, 2nd class: Zippy Baby Ochos - space for 2 leaders Sunday, 3rd class: Volcadas & Colgadas in Close Embrace - space for 1 leader For times, location, and other details, see http://philadelphiatangoschool.com/evan.htm For those considering coming from out of town, it may be possible to find you a place to stay with a local tanguero. If you give me a call, I'll see what I can do. 2. Milongas this Weekend Join us at the Arts League tonight for a milonga DJ-ed by Ramu Pyreddy, one of my very favorite DJs. Evan and I will perform at 11:15. The Arts League is at 4226 Spruce St. in Philadelphia. More information on that milonga at: http://www.dancephiladelphia.com/tango.html#parties On Saturday night, we'll be at La Pausa, one of the nicest milongas of the month in Philadelphia. I've heard that a number of wonderful dancers from New York City are coming down for the night, so it's sure to be a particularly special evening. Milonga La Pausa is at 4701 Pine St. in Philadelphia. More info at http://www.milongalapausa.com/ Rumor has it that there will be an after-milonga at a to-be-disclosed location after La Pausa ends at 1 am on Saturday night. Come to La Pausa to find out where. (And if you're planning to come to the after-milonga and can pick up some food or drink to share, that would be great.) Other events this weekend include the Atrium Tango Brunch and the Collegeville Milonga. More info at http://tangophiladelphia.com/ 3. Private Lessons with Evan Evan still has a couple private lesson slots open after the workshops on Sunday. Let me know ASAP if you'd like to book one. besos! Meredith
