Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 01:51:52 -0300 From: Nina <nina @EARTHNET.NET> Subject: Pablo Pugliese Master Classes May 30 - June 4, 2000 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Tango, For many of you, this master teacher needs no introduction. The schedule of his classes in Denver, May 30 - June 4, 2000 is at the end of this= e-mail. ****************** Pablo Pugliese began to dance tango at the age of nine. When his parents, Esther and Domingo Pugliese, were invited to teach at The Stanford University, Pablo's father was unable to travel and Pablo went in his place, thus beginning his brilliant teaching career at the age of fifteen. Today, at 19, he is an astonishingly beautiful dancer and an exceptionally good teacher. Pablo's parents, Esther and Domingo Pugliese, are among the most honored and respected milongueros of Buenos Aires. They are the last students of Carlos Estevez ("Petroleo"), a revered master who reinvented the tango in the 1940s. The Pugliese's dancing and teaching is special not only because of their importance in the cultural history of tango, but also because of the integrity of their knowledge and their ability to present to their students the structure of the dance according to the rules of logic. Their technique works equally well for everyone from awkward beginners to the stars of the stage. Traditionally, Argentine tango is improvised; i.e. all the movements are invented in the moment. The Pugliese's instruction always emphasizes this improvisation, making it easy for the students to understand the interchangeable parts of any phrase of movements. Pablo absorbed very early the high quality of technique and understanding that his parents manifest. He observed their teaching in countless classes and practice sessions, and gradually began to help them. As a young dancer, Pablo was featured in several television shows which were broadcast all over the world - "Pablo, L'Incognito Du Tango" (1992), "Te Acordas Cesar" (1994), and "La Aventura Del Hombre" ( 1994). Among his early dance accomplishments was his first performance at the age of eleven at a prestigious ceremony in honor of the tango legend Carlos Estevez ("Petroleo"), numerous performances with tango shows at the major theatres of Buenos Aires such as Teatro Presidente Alvear (1991), Juan Carlos Cope's show "Tango, Danza y Juventud" at the Astral Theatre (1993), and at Teatro San Martin with the Tango Express Dance Company and the orchestra of Daniel Binelli, a bandoneon player of Astor Piazzola (1998). Pablo has also performed in every prestigious tango club in Buenos Aires - Club Almagro, La Galeria del Tango, Club General Belgrano, Taller El Cantaro, Club Glorias Argentinas, and many more. He won a gold medal in Torneos Juveniles Bonaerenses Championship organized by the Ministry of Government and Justice of Buenos Aires and was selected to dance for Alan Parker's film "Evita". And the list goes on=85 To this enormous expertise, Pablo adds his own authentic search for the new interpretation of the dance, his passionate artistic expression and the boundless energy of his youth. Please join us for this extraordinary event! Schedule of Classes: Tuesday (5/30) 6:30 PM - 7:00 PM Registration 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Tango All levels - Overview of the Pugliese technique and style Wednesday ( 5/31) 7:30 PM - 8:00 PM Registration 8:00 PM - 9:30 PM Tango Intermediate Technique Thursday (6/1) 7:30 PM - 8:00 PM Registration 8:00 PM - 9:30 PM Tango Intermediate Technique: Turns =20 Friday (6/2) 7:00 PM - 7:30 PM Registration 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM Tango Intermediate Technique: Left side combinations, alternating between left and right sides Saturday (6/3) 11:30 AM - 12:00PM Registration 12:00 PM - 1:30PM Tango Follower's Technique 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM Tango Int/Adv Combinations=09 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM Milonga I Int/Adv Sunday ( 6/4) 11:30 AM - 12:00PM Registration 12:00 PM - 1:30PM Boleos Lead & Follow Technique 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM Milonga II Int/Adv 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM Tango Advanced combinations and floor craft. Pre-registration: Because Pablo tours very infrequently, we expect a very high attendance for his classes. Potentially, this could create a last minute crisis, should the reserved location be too small to accommodate everyone who decides to attend last minute. In addition to that, Pablo prefers to teach classes that have a reasonable gender balance. Therefore, we would like to ask for your assistance to help us manage this event well. If you already know your schedule for the week of Pablo's visit, it would help us greatly if you would pre-register for, at least, the classes you already know you would like to take. Any adjustment to your registration can be made at a later date. In addition to that, the payment arrangements can be made should you not be prepared to pay for the classes at the time of pre-registration. Many thanks! =20 Location: All classes are currently scheduled to be held at The Rising Phoenix Studio, 1836 Logan Street, Studio 307, Denver, Colorado. Cost: All classes are $25 per person, $220 for the entire series. For more information, please contact Nina Pesochinsky at 303/329-7944 (E-mail: nina @earthnet.net)
