Saturdays, April 14 and May 5
5-6 pm beginner to intermediate
6-7 pm intermediate to advanced
$12 for one one hr class, $20 for both, 5-7pm.
In my series of workshops, we will work on the essential
tango walk, the embrace of the tango, giros, voleos,
adornments, musicality, creativity and improvisation—all
of its secrets. In addition, I will share with you
philosophy of tango movement, the mechanics of tango, upper
body / lower body dissociation, the meditation of tango,
the surrender of self in the tango, drawing with your body.
Salon and milonguero style; the Milonga. The complications
of the tango. The history of the tango. Everything you
always wanted to know but were afraid to ask! And, of
course, everything you can use on the dance floor.
Mong-Lan, visiting tango dancer and artist from Buenos
Aires, brings to Houston her vast knowledge of the
tango, 17 years of tango dancing experience. Mong-Lan
has taught and danced tango in Argentina, Italy, Japan,
Thailand, Vietnam, and the U.S.A. Please join her for
these mind-blowing workshops.
Private lessons also available, from April 1 – 16,
then again from May 2 – 6.
