Subject: NA-W: American Choreography Awards
I just came back from attending the American Choreography Awards with Juan
Carlos Copes and Carlos Rivarola. I'm very happy to report that they and Ana
Maria Steckleman won the 1999 American Choreography Award for Best
Choreography in a Feature Film for the movie "Tango." The Award is given
annually by the Academy of Dance on Film, a non-profit organization which is
dedicated to preserving, documenting and advancing filmed dance. They have
an outstanding library documenting classical, modern and ethnic dance around
the world, along with other educational and research activities. The show
itself was spectacular, featuring filmed and live dance numbers from some of
the greatest choreographers and dancers in the world. Awards were also given
for choreography in the category of television, music videos and
commercials. Needless to say, Maestro Copes and Carlos Rivarola were
absolutely thrilled and honored. It was really wonderful to see the dance
that we love recognized by such an important part of the dance world.

Only one week to go before Natalia y Gabriel arrive for their first
visit to the Triangle! In addition to teaching 12 full hours of
workshops, they'll be providing a special performance on Saturday Sept
30th at El Chilango! These wonderful dancers have toured with Tangox2
for 8 years, and teach regularly in Buenos Aires and Europe. They also
taught previously at the US Tango Congress in Miami. You can learn a
little more about them here
http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/Stage/6854/ .
There are a couple of things I want to point out about the schedule that
make it a little different than workshops you may have attended in the
past.
1. Each day will have 4 workshops of 1.5 hours each. That's 6 hours
per day, 12 total. To accomodate the amount of time, I've tried to
compress the schedules while providing breaks. Each day is divided into
2 classes, then lunch, followed by 2 more classes.
2. I've put the more complicated material earlier in the schedule with
the more general material later. The intent is that the material may
get easier as you get more tired.
3. The weekend is primarily int/advanced, with only 3 general level
workshops available. These are scheduled at the end of the day on
Saturday and Sunday. Sunday's last two classes are General Technique
and Musicality, wrapping up at 6:30. This should make it easy for
people (especially the newer dancers) to attend workshops and then stay
for the Triangle Tangueros practica (at 7) to work on what they've
learned.
4. The Int/Adv Tango figures and the Milonga de traspie classes are
broken up over the two days. I expect that the 2nd parts will build on
the 1st part, but I don't know how much overlap there'll be.
Here's the schedule.

Subject: NA-W: Tango in Hawai'i?
Hi,
I'll be spending two weeks on the Big Island photographing volcanoes and am
wondering if there is any tango being danced there. I'll be based closer to
Hilo than to Kona but will have a car and would travel to dance. Many thanks
for any information.
