As part of a continuing series of summer tango activities:
There will be a milonga at the Phillips Recreation Center (Springfield &
McCullough, Urbana) on Saturday June 15 from 9 PM - 12:30 AM. Admission is
$3.
Prior to the milonga, starting at 7:30 PM, Susana and I will be giving
a workshop on 'Basics of Tango Technique - 1: Walking - Crossing - Closing -
Walking'. This is the first in a 4 part series of workshops prior to the
summer milongas at the Phillips Center (June 15, June 29, July 13, July 27).
The cost is $5 and includes admission to the milonga.
Subsequent topics are:
June 29: Ochos, 1
July 13: Ochos, 2
July 27: Paradas and other tango pauses
This workshop series covers the basic Argentine tango steps from the
perspective of
technique, particularly focusing on partner connection, in order to have a
more enjoyable tango experience. Thus, some familiarty with basic tango steps
is assumed. Dancers with Argentine tango experience will probably benefit
more from
taking these workshops; however, dedicated newcomers with no prior tango
experience would be able to take them and gain a solid foundation in the
basics of tango. For ballroom dancers who have already studied dance
technique, this would be an effective way to learn Argentine tango.
In addition to these workshops, Susana and I will also be continuing to host
tango practice sessions at the Phillips Recreation Center on alternate
Tuesdays in June and July (June 18, July 2, July 16, July 30), from 8-10 PM.
Admission is FREE. During these sessions they can assist you in learning the
material we cover in these workshops.
We hope to see you at these tango events.
Ron & Susana Weigel
