The Tango Society of Central Illinois is pleased to host a weekend of tango
workshops with Brigitta Winkler, one of most respected tango instructors
worldwide. Brigitta has been teaching tango for 25 years, even before the tango
revival of the mid-1980s. She started the tango community in Berlin, the first and
still the largest tango community outside Argentina. Because of her knowledge
and teaching expertise Brigitta is in demand as a tango instructor worldwide
at tango festivals and nearly every weekend in numerous cities around the US
as she tours the US about six months every year.
Despite the international acclaim she has received, Brigitta is a very
accessible person with a charming personality. Her workshops are a lot of fun, often
involving games where students learn various aspects of tango by partaking in
exercises that bring students to their learning goal in a very enjoyable way.
She is a very unique instructor, focusing on body awareness as a means to
learning and improving your tango. Because of her clear communicative style, she
can communicate simultaneously to dancers at all levels, making the complex
simpler for beginners, and revealing to advanced dancers the richness of
deceptively simpler aspects of tango.
So we invite you to join us for a fun weekend of tango with Brigitta Winkler.
Brigitta will teach the milonguero style of tango, the social style of tango
danced in the milongas of Buenos Aires.
Details are available on our web page:

For beginners, we would like to make you aware of our Beginner Pass ($40, $30
for students), including the following:
(1) Friday 8 PM workshop "Introduction to Tango in Close Embrace"
(2) Friday 9:30 PM - 1 AM: MILONGA (social dancing)
(3) Saturday 1:30 PM workshop "Enhancing the Close Embrace"
(4) Saturday 3 PM workshop "Exploring Tango Musicality"
There is also a milonga Saturday evening ($7) with more advanced workshops
Saturday evening before the milonga and on Sunday afternoon.
Friday and Sunday activities will be at the Refinery Annex, 502 S Kenwood,
Champaign.
Saturday activities will be at the Phillips Recreation Center, 505 W
Stoughton, Urbana.
Our tango weekends attract a lot of people from out-of-town, so we are
expecting a nice interesting mix of people to meet and dance with.
Brigitta Winkler's visit to Champaign-Urbana is an opportunity not to be
missed. Because she is expanding her tango studio in Berlin, she will be traveling
in the US less frequently in the near future, so now is the time to see her.
We look forward to seeing you.
