Tango is About the Connection (4:15-6:15pm):

This workshop is designed to fine-tune your skill of perceiving what your partner wants and hone your ability to ask for what you need without words.

Feel the Music, Be the Music (6:30-8:30pm):

The tango couple is a musical instrument; both leads and follows contribute to musicality and participate in the conversation with the orchestra. In this workshop we will explore different ways of connecting and playing with various types of tango music (rhythmic, melodic, tango electronico, etc.).

SUNDAY, May 1st

*Sunday venue: LUCID Jazz Lounge
5241 University Way NE
Seattle, WA 98105   (map)

Learn to Listen; Learn to Play
(3:00-7:00pm):

Feel rather than think, see possibilities instead of figures, seize each moment of every tango--and play! This workshop will help you leave your plans behind and focus on the moment: on yourself, your partner and the co-created conversation that is tango. Tango is a game of improvisation: Learn to Listen; Learn to Play.
$40 prepay, $45 at the door

Guided Practica (7:00-8:00pm):

I'll be around for questions or trouble-shooting/problem-solving or you can stay and play with the ideas from the workshop. I bet you'll have the urge to keep dancing!
$5 for workshop participants, $8 drop-in
