Subject: NA-W: CHICHO Invades L.A. Sep.-Oct. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
NEWS BREAK
CHICHO Invades L.A! Sep.16-Oct.15. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
Arrival of flashy, flame-haired, sneaker-wearing, ear-ringed tango
subversive sends pontificators, tradition-bound preservers of the almighty
purity and sanctity of our Tango fleeing from entrenched positions.
This tango revolutionary is known to espouse provocative and extremely
dangerous ideas (improvised sacadas for women, highly unorthodox ganchos,
mixing fun with tango, and worse). These preposterous and scandalous views
should be banned before our cherished tango traditions are undermined, and
these notions are spread further.
He Must Be Stopped At All Costs!
Check out our website for more info: www.losangelestango.com
Chicho & Lucia will be in L.A., Orange County, San Diego and Santa Barbara
from Sept. 16 through Oct. 14.
They will give two 2hr. classes on Saturdays and Sundays ($28 ea . class)
and two 11/2hr. classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays ($20 ea. class)for the
duration of their stay (levels are geared towards the more
advanced/experienced dancers).
There will be a big welcoming bash (party!)at 'El Encuentro' on Sat. Sept.
16 and a HUGE gala event for their farewell (party! again)on Oct. 14. So
come on over to So. California all you hip and cool tangophiles on the West
Coast.
Remember the Faith Principle of Tango Special Events: The amount of fun you
have is inversely proportional to the amount of money you pay. (translation:
save your money, and come and get the best, affordable, quality instruction
and dance at some of the greatest (and inexpensive) milongas on the West
Coast, right here in L.A.)

Labor Day Milonguero Style Weekend in Denver, Colorado
We will be getting over 50 visitors to Denver on Labor Day. In=20
speaking with those who have already committed, their experience and=20
skill level are in the Intermediate to Advanced range. They all love=20
social tango with have a strong interest in the close-embrace tango.=20
A high percentage of them have dance experience in Buenos Aires. The=20
Mercury Caf=E9 milongas will have 150-180 on Friday and 100 or more on=20
Saturday, meaning that the dance floors will probably be as crowded=20
as they are in Buenos Aires. (See below for some comments on=20
Navigation and Vocabulary for Crowded Dances.)
One of the cool things is that certain cities (Atlanta, Salt Lake,=20
Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco) are sending groups=20
of 8 - 15 dancers. If each city can be though of as a different=20
neighborhood like in 1940s Buenos Aires, then this weekend will give=20
us all an unprecedented opportunity to compare and exchange local=20
styles and habits, not to mention the chance to "dance outside of our=20
own harem."
Many guests will be hosted with local dancers, meaning they'll get a=20
spare bed or couch and transportation to the milongas/classes.=20
Hosting is becoming limited; please email me if you would still like=20
to host or be hosted.
The Hyatt Regency downtown is very convenient (about 6 blocks) to the=20
Mercury Caf=E9, and visitors have been able to negotiate a $65 nightly=20
fee, even for double occupancy (there is also a tax). This hotel has=20
prime access to the many restaurants and activities of Downtown=20
Denver, which has undergone a revival over the past 15 years to=20
become a very livable city.
Labor Day Milonguero Style Classes.
While the emphasis is on the milongas and parties, a number of=20
classes will be offered in conjunction with the Labor Day weekend,=20
presented by teachers, Chris Nassoupoulos & Caroline Peattie from San=20
=46rancisco, Robert Hauk from Portland, and Tom Stermitz and Lisa=20
Battan from Denver.
One particular benefit of the classes will be the opportunity to mix=20
with and meet the many visitors. The classes will not work much with=20
figures focusing instead on musicality, rhythm and authenticity. The=20
level of dancers will be Intermediate to Advanced. Therefore, in=20
contrast to some tango weeks, we won't have a problem with levels and=20
the teachers will ask everyone to change partners frequently.
We have added early arrival classes which will pay more attention to=20
vocabulary, navigation and style for those new to the close-embrace:
- Wednesday (Mercury, Denver) Rob Hauk & Tom Stermitz
- Thursday (Pearl St, Boulder) Rob Hauk & Lisa Battan
The weekend classes will emphasize musicality, rhythm and authenticity:
- Saturday (Mercury, Denver)
- Sunday (Mercury, Denver)
Prices and Expenses
We have gone out of our way to make this an inexpensive weekend. You=20
could do all the classes and the milongas for under $60.

Subject: NA-W: Nestor and Patricia Ray in Los Angeles!
ONE LAST REMINDER:
Nestor Ray, the "milonguero's milonguero" and his wife and partner Patricia
Ray will
teach a series of classes in Los Angeles August 4-6. They will be teaching
"club style" (or "milonguero style," "confiteria style," "apilado style,"
"close-embrace"--pick your preferred term!) tango, milonga and tango waltz.
Nestor and Patricia were our special guests last night at our Thursday night
milonga, "Salon Recuerdo," and gave a SPECTACULAR demonstration of milonga
with traspie and "milonguero-style" tango. This man has so much rhythm it
drips from his fingertips! And is he clean! Patricia keeps up with him
beautifully and elegantly, every step of the way. They were absolutely
amazing! Don't miss this opportunity to
study with a real master of this very rhythmic, very fun, and very popular
style of tango. For more information, see our website at
www.apurotango.com.
