In the words of Alberto," My Tango is Salon style. My style of dancing is elegant, subtle, with rhythm and poetry." Alberto completed an outstanding successful workshop in Cleveland organized by Timmy Tango. Albertos workshop in Chicago on the Labour Day Week-end was also well-attended. Alberto is now finishing a very successful workshop in Edmonton Canada and will visit Calgary Canada from Sept. 16 to Sept. 23. Then, to Toronto from Sept. 24 to Sept. 30. Participating in Albertos workshops presents the argentine tango dancer with a delicious opportunity to learn from a master dancer/teacher; you will be enriched and gain a deep appreciation of this wonderful dance, the argentine tango. Alberto is the real deal! Dancing since 14, Albertos knowledge of the history and the dance is superb. It is a joy to take part in his workshops because he enthusiastically shares his experience and skills. Albertos dance is rich in nuances and subtlety with an elegant and sensitive personal style packed with emotion. Comments from some organizers and tangueras/tangueros about Alberto's current workshops: Cleveland: Timmy Tango (Cleveland organizer); "in 15 years of promoting tango in Cleveland, this weekend has to be the best workshop I've ever promoted. Alberto Dassieu had the entire workshops attention. He is entertaining and a joy to be around. Besides that, I'm learning great tango technique and cadence. The milonga last night has a great attendance and life of its own. Thank you Alberto for sharing your knowledge of tango with us". A Cleveland Tanguera:" Truly an amazing experience to have the opportunity to meet such a kind soulful gentleman and to get to dance with him. I don't think I ever truly felt the essence of tango....Though I've felt hints of it until dancing with him." A Columbus, Ohio tanguera: It is wonderful! I'm having a blast here. He taught a lot of etiquette, musicality, and how to put life into your dancing etc. I started to feel the slowness and quietness in the music and thus in the dancing too. His dancing is so soft and into the floor. I got to dance with him in the workshop a lot as he asked me to help with demonstrations. And how did I feel dancing with him? That is summarized in my most recent status. :) - When Alberto dances with me, every part of my body, even my knees, are dancing too. Comment by David Pheasant: ..I think that it is important to recognize and pay tribute to true milongueros of Buenos Aires. They have honed their skills, on the pistas of that great city, and demonstrate a wealth of technique and skills that illustrate how varied and individualistic the milongueros were and still are: the effortless dancing that is adaptable to crowded pistas and fills a tanguera with a sense of insatiable satisfaction. Cleveland: Comment by Sergio: I just went to dance to Cleveland, to a workshop organized by Timmy Tango, given by Alberto Dassieu. We were reminded of how to dance, it did not matter our degree of expertise or skill. We all danced following the milonga codes, followed the socio-ethical protocols and had the most marvelous experience of our lives. Remarks re: Alberto's Labour Day week-end Chicago workshop: " . out of town guests at the workshops from Boston; Cleveland; Columbus, Ohio; Champaign-Urbana; New York; Kentucky and Toronto Canadaand other locations.
