The next milonga at the Phillips Recreation Center (Springfield & McCullough,
Urbana) is Sat March from 9 PM -12:30 AM. This is a 'graduation' milonga.

Workshop schedule: [ at 314 A Illini Union, NOT the Phillips Center ]
(1) Milonga [2:00 - 3:30 PM]
Milonga is the predecessor of tango and is still very popular today. This
series of workshops will concentrate on: the structure and styling of
milonga, connection with the rhythm and interpretation of the music, and
building of patterns for navigating around the dance floor, using effective
leading and following.
(2) Salon Style Tango [3:45 - 5:15 PM]
This is the popular elegant style of tango that arose in Buenos Aires during
the 1940s, the Golden Age of Tango, and is the foundation from which stage
tango evolved. This series of workshops will concentrate on: technique for
effective leading and following within the standard repertoire of tango
patterns, the use of adornments within the context of pattern building, and
musicality (the matching of tango patterns to musical phrasing).
Pre-requisite for workshop series:
- Successful completion of a beginner level tango course.
Cost:
- 1 Workshop: $20 (Students: $15)
- 2 Workshops: $35 (Students: $25)
