3:00 - 4:30 p.m. - Workshop for improvers to intermediate
Creating your own tango - The use of improvisation
One of Tangos basic fundamentals is that there is no choreography
or pre-established movements to be done. Starting from this concept,
the workshop will focus in understanding the structures of movements
to allow the dancers to create their own sequences within the limits of
the space, the music and the characteristics of each partner.
5:00 - 6:30 p.m. - Workshop for advanced intermediates upwards
Volcadas for Tango Salón
Volcadas are amongst the most popular movements in Tango, but
usually, its very hard to do them in the context of a milonga because
of lack of space. The class will focus in developing volcadas in a very
small piece of the dance floor as well as in the exploration of possible
variations to this movements to adapt it to the music.
$25 for one workshop, $45 for both workshops.
Discount for couples: $45 for one workshop, $80 for both.

7:00 - 8:00 p.m. Live music by CORAZON AL SUR
Beautiful traditional Argentine tangos and
ballads from the golden age of tango.
Hailing from Buenos Aires , Claudio Ortegas warm vocals are inspired
by the classic tango singer, Carlos Gardel. When Stephanie Newsoms
lyric piano goes jazzy and Peter Newsoms rhythm guitar gets rocking,
you will hear the classic tangos with a new fusion twist. For the past
few years this Pan-American trio has brightened milongas and clubs in
the SF Bay Area with the intensity of their compelling emotional melodies.
The nostalgia of a home far away, the poignancy of an early love
remembered, and the triumphs of enduring love are all traversed in their
dynamic repertoire. Check out their new CD: www.cdbaby.com
8:00 p.m until late MILONGA DJ: Vijay Namasivayam
with performance by Gustavo & Maria.
$10 cover charge includes live music and the Milonga
