Nina Tatarowicz + Damian Thompson: Tango Workshops Monday 9/28 + Wednesday 9/30 at ATI
Tangueros + Tangueras of Chicago! If you've been out dancing tango this week, then you've probably seen Damian Thompson, a fun-loving Aussie on his first trip tango-ing in the US. An instructor based in Sydney, Australia, Damian has come to Chicago to share his enthusiasm and expertise in tango, especially in how to make "Nuevo" Tango feel like an integral part of your dance -- not just for special occasions, or a distinct dance form! Ladies, we will be working on technique for creating exquisite lines in exciting "free-leg" moves like boleos and ganchos. Guys, Damian will give you the secrets to a precise lead, and linking moves with your walk to travel down line of dance. Together, we'll demonstrate the ease with which you can incorporate these concepts into your dance. We know that this is late notice for the workshops. But rest assured, those of you who can make it are gonna have a BLAST with us! One more note: we don't focus on having you memorize specific sequences; rather, we will give you the tools to be your own creative tango engineers. And isn't that what it's all about? Improv baby -- let's get in the moment! Details below. Payment by cash or check in person, or be credit card available on the Tango Elixir website www.tangoelixir.com.
