Dear Tango Aficionados, Dance of the Heart is very pleased to announce that online registration is now open for the Incredible February FOUR-WEEKEND series of SIXTEEN TOTAL workshops in Boulder with peerless tango maestros Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne!
FULL SCHEDULE & DETAILS ONLINE Go to our website at www.danceoftheheart.com/feb2010.htm to view the classes and register online with your credit card, or to see other payment options (cash at the door or by mailed check in advance). Weve put together $105 discount packages for each weekends classes to simplify life for out-of-towners drawn to join us for one or more weekends. You can also pay $30 (cash or check) for each class at the door. PLEASE NOTE! We have a special Valentines package for the weekend of Feb. 13-14, which includes our MILONGA DEL CORAZON at the Avalon Ballroom featuring DJ Gustavo and a special performance by Gustavo & Giselle! The Valentines weekend package is $115/person, INCLUDING the Milonga! In addition, EACH weekend will offer other tango treats either through Dance of the Heart or through our fellow organizers in Boulder and Denver! Friday night at the Mercury Café is always a treat, and our calendar will keep an updated list of other local activities each weekend! UNIQUE CLASS STRUCTURE, SPECTACULAR VENUE Gustavo & Giselle have carefully arranged class topics so that each weekend offers one workshop in four broad areas: Tango Milonguero, Grandes Figuras del Tango, Musicality and Deep Fundamentals. Of course, if you are at all familiar with the luminous work of these two legendary tango dancers and teachers, you already know its invaluable to take a class in ANYTHING with them, just to partake in the deep historical, cultural, technical, analytical, artistic and inspirational riches that they cant resist sharing with all of us in sessions like these. Again, were very fortunate to use the facilities of the Avalon Ballroom in Boulder for our classes and Valentines Milonga. The Ballroom has been expanding, and we have a huge new studio to use for our weekend classes. INTEGRATE THE MATERIAL OVER A FULL MONTH OF INSTRUCTION These workshops are made possible in part by Gustavo & Giselles decision to spend a great deal of time in Boulder, Colorado for the immediate future. Not only does this allow them to present fantastic material like this workshop series without the stress of constant extensive travel, but it will allow tango dancers to have the opportunity to take an extended exploration of what they offer without having to cram the entire experience into just a few consecutive days. With the depth of their offerings, having time in between the four-class-per-weekend sessions allows dancers to internalize the insights and learning from each class, come up with questions for the maestros in subsequent classes, practice with fellow students over a more relaxed timeframe, and generally have more of the benefits available to those who take G&Gs weekly classes in Buenos Aires over the course of several weeks except our classes are all in English, AND you DONT have to have a PARTNER!! Immediately after these workshops, Gustavo & Giselle head for the airport again for more international tango events, so get them while you can! GENDER BALANCE LOGISTICS & (POTENTIAL) CLASS SIZE LIMITS Well be able to handle a certain degree of gender imbalance with our well-trained staff, but if the usual rush of women who sign up outstrip our ability to gender-balance with our staff, we may need to restrict the pace of follower sign-ups until leaders registrations pick up. So followers at least are well-advised to sign up in advance and of course you can always register with a partner and choose to remain together. At this point we dont expect to have to limit the class size, but we reserve the right to do so if we end up getting buried! Watch our website for details, or send us an e-mail to be put on our early-notice list for late-breaking news. We look forward to seeing you in Boulder in February!
