Subject: NA-W: Los Angeles Classes/Milongas?
Hi Folks,
I'm heading to LA briefly and was hoping to squeeze some classes and
dancing in. I've found Larry de Los Angeles's most excellent listing of
places in Southern California (http://home.att.net/~larrydla/), but
was hoping for a bit more information. In particular, I'd love to
attend Daniela and Armando's Thursday event, but the information on
Larry's page disagrees with the information on their www.tangopuro.com
website, and I've been unable to contact them by phone or email.
Are Thursdays in Culver City or North Hollywood? How advanced is
the lesson? Is the crowd friendly? Etc.
Are there other events that Larry hasn't listed that I should check out?
Also, I have a friend in LA whom I'd like to introduce to tango.
Would any place be suitable for taking a total beginner? Obviously,
she'll eventually need regular lessons to progress, but I'd like her
to have a good initial experience and see tango danced well.
Many thanks for any advice!

THE BOSTON TANGO SCHOOL presents:
A Workshop in Musicality
with Sharna Fabiano
June 3-4, 2000
In this course, integrate your knowledge of tango vocabulary with the most
compelling aspect of the dance, tango music! Equally useful for leaders and
followers, we will work a great deal with quality of movement as well as
rhythmic choices and adornments.
Explore basic rhythms in tango, the dramatic pause, making your movements
dynamic, the power of subtlety, and characteristics of various instruments
and orchestras. In partner and group exercises, we will discover skillful,
yet personal ways of dancing to the music.
Class Schedule
Saturday
1-3 pm Part I: Exploring three basic rhythms
3.30-5.30 pm Part II: Dynamics: using stillness, speed, and accents
Sunday
1-3 pm Part III: Tango orchestras and instrumentation
