Hi all,
I wanted to invite you to join us in Philadelphia for a unique and dance-transforming two-day seminar on CONNECTION IN TANGO, taught by Javier Antar & Kara Wenham. It is common to define CONNECTION as the physical contact that we have with our partner in tango. However, Javier and Kara view "connection" as an umbrella term covering a variety of concepts, all of which allow us to tune into our partner better and move more in sync with him or her. Some of these concepts include: ** opposition ** spatial awareness between the bodies ** timing ** the embrace (including both close and open embrace) ** music (as opposed to musicality) ** and both passive and active moving. During this six-workshop seminar, we will learn about and use all of these concepts in order to develop the skills to connect optimally with each partner. Each workshop topic provides a new framework within which we will be studying the pervasive theme of connection in tango. This seminar is aimed at intermediate to advanced dancers. Please click here for the complete schedule: http://philadelphiatangoschool.com/javier-kara-2014-schedule.html The full six-workshop seminar costs $130 and includes entrance to Milonga Qilombo on Saturday, November 22, which will take place at the Ruba Club (414 Green St., Philadelphia, PA 19123) and feature DJ Manuk Colakyan, a performance by Javier & Kara, and live jazz cortinas played by Wataru Niimori.
