WORLD-RENOWNED MAESTROS, PERFORMERS & CHOREOGRAPHERS MARIA & CARLOS RIVAROLA On their world tour In Eugene, Oregon SEPTEMBER 26 - OCTOBER 3, 2007 All in one package: 1. Masters of tango as a social dance. 2. Information and teaching from maestros of maestros. 3. Indisputable experience: more than 60 years combined between the two of them. 4. History: Cast members of Tango Argentino, the show that brought tango dancing to the international community. 5. Choreographers & Dancers of the movie Tango, by Carlos Saura (Academy nominee) Naked Tango, and Tango Bar>>> Here we go again. More big hype to get people to sign up with the stars of tango. Yes, they were members of Tango Argentino in New York City in 1986, along with Gloria and Eduardo Arquimbau, Hector Mayoral and Elsa Maria, Juan Carlos Copes and Maria Nieves, Elvira and Virulazo, Nelida and Nelson Avila, Rodolfo and Gloria Dinzel. Each danced their own choreographies in the show. Yes, they teach classes at Escuela Argentina de Tango at Centro Cultural Borges. Yes, they were choreographers and dancers in Tango by Saura. But masters of tango as a social dance? They never dance in the milongas. They are ex-stage performers who teach. They have been on the judging panel of the campeonatos. They dance exhibitions. A friend of mine had a private lesson with Carlos Rivarola about six years ago. She paid him $100 for the hour. I asked her what she got for the money. She couldn't tell me. I asked her why she would study with someone who never dances in the milongas. I thought she wanted to improve her social dancing. Sixty years experience in what? Ricardo Suarez has danced 65 continuous years in the milongas. If you are interested in becoming a better social dancer, I suggest you find other teachers. They have no experience in the milongas of Buenos Aires. They have name recognition for being in a show that toured the world. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
