Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 07:56:30 -0500 From: Shahrukh Merchant <merchant @ALUM.MIT.EDU> Subject: ADMIN: Important: Posting reminders for Tango-A and Tango-L The Tango-A and Tango-L instructions may seem long (but they are not complicated). Here are the most common posting errors that people make, in approximate decreasing order of frequency of occurrence, so please review at least these three most common errors in this brief e-mail before making a posting! 1. DON'T USE TANGO-L FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS. All announcements of Tango events must be made to Tango-A only (see Item 2 below). Also any "commercial" postings such as Tango videos for sale, etc., should only be made to Tango-A (under topic "MISC:"). Postings of a discussion nature that are not event announcements, even if they are geography-specific, may be made to Tango-L instead. These have been relatively rare (unfortunately, since they are usually interesting), but the recent posting on Tango in Cuba is a good example. Relating ones general Tango experience in Buenos Aires, or any other city for that matter, would also be a good candidate for Tango-L. Event announcements, however, and responses to event announcements (often corrections or supplemental information) should be made to Tango-A only. 2. REMEMBER TO SPECIFY THE TOPIC FOR POSTINGS TO TANGO-A (AND TO FOLLOW THE FORMAT BELOW EXACTLY, WITH THE COLON FOLLOWING THE TOPIC NAME): The topic should reflect where the event is HAPPENING (not the locations of the potential audience you wish to attract). Unless the posting is an announcement of a multi-city tour, please use only a single topic. Here is a list of topics, as a reminder, and the required format: The Tango-A list uses topics, which requires that the subject of every post be preceded with the topic name followed by a colon and a space (the colon and space are required). E.g., Subject: NA-W: This is an article for Western North America The topic names are based on geographical relevance and can be ONE of the following: SA (South America), NA-W NA-C NA-E (North America West, Central, East), EU-W EU-E (Europe West, East), AASP (Asia/ Africa/South Pacific) or MISC (non-geographical announcements). If you don't specify the topic, your posting will only reach those who subscribe to the digest version of the list (who get all postings anyway), which is a much smaller audience than you would otherwise get or than you probably intended. 3. SET YOUR MAILER TO SEND MAIL TO TANGO-A OR TANGO-L IN PLAINTEXT (NOT HTML): The options for doing this vary from mailer to mailer, but the three most common errors can be solved as follows: - Set your mailer to send e-mail in plaintext only (rather than HTML format or both plaintext + HTML) - Avoid cutting and pasting from a formatting word processing (use the mail composer's window directly instead), otherwise you sometimes get unnecessary MIME characters (the "=20" and other similar extraneous characters at the end of lines). - Don't quote or attach the entire original message. If it is necessary to set the context for a response to someone's comment, just quote the few lines or the paragraph. Some mailers will automatically attach the original message to a reply in which case you should compose a new message and copy and paste the original subject line. A message that is incorrectly formatted will result in many list members not seeing your mail in the most readable way, depending on the mailer they are using and how they have set it. The recommendations above should result in maximum compatibility with all mailers. If you have misplaced the original instructions you got when you subscribed to the list, you may get a copy by sending the following message in the body of an e-mail to listserv @mitvma.mit.edu: get tango-a welcome or get tango-l welcome Thanks, Shahrukh Merchant Tango-A/Tango-L coadministrator tango-A-request @mitvma.mit.edu tango-L-request @mitvma.mit.edu


Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 10:12:28 -0500 From: Asta Chen <Asta_Chen @HARVARDPILGRIM.ORG> Subject: Tango Barre Class for Women! Dear Dance Friends, Last Thursday, we had a very successful "TANGO BARRE" with Valorie Hart, for Women only class. And weekend, we had a wonderful workshop with Alberto and Valorie. However, due to the demand, we are opening another "TANGO BARRE" with Valorie Hart tonight. Please forward this email to your dance friends. Tonight, the class for "TANGO BARRE" with Valorie Hart, not only for Women, Men are welcome. There is no pre-register need. If you have any question, please contact Asta Chen at email address Asta_Chen @HarvardPilgrim.org Monday, Dec 6, 9-10:30 PM, TODAY St. Paul Episcopal Church 15 St. Paul Street, Brookline "TANGO BARRE" with VALORIE HART ************ Not Only For Women (Men are welcome) ************** Cost $10 - pay at the door Tango Barre (the successful series for women taught by Valorie Hart). This is a class given like a ballet barre class (tango barre!), designed for all levels of dancers. Material addressed and worked on: balance, embellishments, stretching, giros, music identification and interpretation, confidence enhancement, body management. The last fifteen minutes are spent on questions from the class about any technical or social aspect women encounter when dancing. This is a good class for those starting out, and an excellent maintenance program for experienced dancers. The material is consistent and repetitive in the spirit of a ballet class, crafted to allow a woman to own her technique and use it to express herself, her body type, her musicality and to feel the enjoyment of confidence when being able to respond and dance with any and every man.


Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 15:16:38 EST From: Jeanne Hill <GeneJeanne @AOL.COM> Subject: NA-W: TECHNIQUE WORKSHOP BY YANINA MESSINA-Laf.,CA Greetings, Yanina Messina will give her technique workshop for Argentine Tango dancers (men and women) on December 12, (Sunday), from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. Please NOTE, this is a change of time. It is half hour earlier than before. The Workshop will be held at the same location as before: 1018 Almanor Lane, off Mt. Diablo Blvd., in Lafayette, CA. The Studio sits behind Jack'N the Box Restaurant. As in the past, Yanina plans her exercise and work to be done by each individual on their own. These exercises lead into movements and steps in the Tango. The purpose of these exercises are to improve your execution of the movements. The HOW of the movement is stressed so that your dancing becomes more polished, more distinct and more pleasurable to do. Please call Jeanne Hill (925) 283-0191 to reserve your place.


Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 15:11:24 EST From: Charles Roques <Crrtango @AOL.COM> Subject: NA-E: Osvaldo Zotto/Lorena Ermocida workshops This is a repeat message posted originally Friday 12/3 Some very good late-breaking news for those in the New York City area or those planning to be here the weekend of Fri. Dec. 10 - Sun. Dec.12. Danel & Maria will be sponsoring workshops by Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena Ermocida on Friday and Saturday nights, Dec 10 and 11. For those of you who are growing a little tired of the "nuevo tango" acrobatics this is a chance to see classic performance tango with precision and elegance. Osvaldo and his brother Miguel are considered by many to be the greatest living male tango dancers and Maria says that Osvaldo and Lorena are evolving into one of the great tango couples. They are in town on a promotion tour for Julio Iglesias' Tango album at a private function at Lincoln Center and have agreed to do some workshops while here. This is a great opportunity and a bargain as well. On Friday Dec. 10 they will be at the Mt Vernon West train station in Westchester County (there is a dance hall upstairs), 20 minutes from Grand Central Station. Intermediate Workshop - 7:30 - 9:30 with a practice after. Please call 718-325-6579 for more info and prices. But the real bargain is on Saturday Dec.11. They will be giving workshops at the Sandra Cameron Dance Center, 20 Cooper Sq. near E. 5th St. and Astor Place. 6:00 - 6:55 Beg/Int Tango 7:00 - 7:55 Int/Adv Tango 8:00 - 8:55 Int/Adv Waltz One workshop -$20. Two workshops - $35. Three workshops - $45. Afterwards they will perform at Danel & Maria's "Bailemos Tango" Milonga (same location)- 9:30 PM - 2:00 AM (or later) which will also feature live music by Raul Jaurena and the New York Tango Trio for $15. (Coat and tie, please) Sorry no videos. There are also a lot of very good tango dancers at their milongas, many of our Argentine friends attend, and some of the cast of Tango Argentino usually stop by after the show. Please come and join us. I have no financial interest in this affair, I'm just very excited and pleased to inform you about it. Please call Sandra Cameron Dance Center at 212-674-0505 to register or 718-325-6579 for more information. Also please feel free to contact me with any questions. Sorry to post this at the last minute but they only called Danel & Maria last Wednesday to tell them they would be in town. Hope to see some of you there. Cheers, Charles Roques
