THE LEGENDARY JUAN CARLOS COPES!
Friday, September 22 (8 - 9:30 p.m.) & Tuesday, September 26, (8:15 - 9:45

Academy 331

West Hollywood
The Maestro makes a rare Los Angeles appearance to attend the "Dance on Film
Awards," for which he is nominated for his choreography for Carlos Saura's
Oscar-nominated film, "Tango" (he also co-starred). We are delighted that he
has agreed to teach two classes for us. Maestro Copes is arguably the most
famous tango performer in the world. He is also a remarkably beautiful
social dancer, having learned his craft in the milongas of his youth. In our
humble opinion, he possesses one of the most amazing upper bodies of any man
in tango. Just to watch him is an invaluable learning experience. The
maestro will focus on his special brand of technique and elegance for the
social floor.
Recently voted in a poll of more than 12,000 Buenos Aires residents as the
greatest tango dancer of the 20th Century, Juan Carlos Copes is known as the
father of performance tango or "tango ballet." His credits and awards as a
professional dancer are too numerous to list, but he is perhaps best known
in this country as the star and principal choreographer of "Tango
Argentino." Through his many shows, movie and television performances, he
has served as tango's ambassador to the world. He is truly one of
Argentina's national treasures. Don't miss this rare opportunity to study
with a living legend of tango!
Juan Carlos Copes will also be our special guest at Salon Recuerdo on
Thursday, September 21. Come and help us welcome the Maestro to Los
Angeles--8 p.m. to midnight, Culver City Masonic Lodge, 9635 Venice Blvd.
(between Overland and Main/Bagley). $10 per person includes dancing to the
greatest orchestras of the "Golden Age of Tango" and refreshments For more
information, see our website at www.apurotango.com, or call (323) 650-0509.

Subject: NA-W: Update Hit and Run Milonga San Francisco
Hi All,
In the way of an update:
San Francisco's HIT AND RUN MILONGA
cordially invites you to a Tango happening
MAIDEN LANE IN SAN FRANCISCO
with
Dale Meyer and his Live Tango Band
STRICTLY TANGO
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2000
Hours 1 til 3 PM
St. Francis Hotel after for drinks and laughs and MORE TANGO
On Sunday, September 10, 2000 (weather permitting), a HIT AND RUN
MILONGA will be held from 1PM to 3PM at Maiden Lane between Grant and
Kearny
Streets (near Union Square) in San Francisco. This is the same location
as the last Hit and Run Milonga.
Dale Meyer and his Strictly Tango band will provide the live music.
As many of you know, Maiden Lane is closed to auto traffic so we can
dance in the street and on the sidewalk. Many tourists and others will
be in the area so an audience should develop.
Our object is to create a 1920's like Buenos Aires street milonga scene
so we ask that some of you (those who may wish) come in period dress
(women in headbands, perhaps box hats, feathers, whatever - - men in
double-breasted suits, hats, whatever). Of course, any dress is
acceptable. As to the "run" in HIT AND RUN, the "run" part is that
(those who survive) intend to escape to the St. Francis Hotel for drinks
and laughs after, AND ALSO MORE TANGO, all to the beautiful live piano
music of Alberto. As the St. Francis Hotel holds a very nice English Tea
on Sunday afternoons in the beautiful Compass Rose Room, people there
are often well dressed (for us the English Tea part is optional). The
afternoon should be a lot of fun.
Donation - A $2.00 per person donation for the band will be appreciated.
Parking - Inexpensive parking is available at the Sutter/Stockton
garage.
Dance surface - The street is asphalt, but the surface is fairly good,
with the exception of several minor potholes (just kidding).
However, it is suggested you leave your best dance shoes at home.
For information, call 650-328-2718
