NA-W: Seattle: Julio Balmaceda & Corina de la Rosa Tango Workshop , May/ 2nd-4th, 2003

[Tony Fan <TFAN @MENGNET.COM>]

Dear Dancers,

Ilana and I are proud to present a special weekend of tango workshops in
Seattle, featuring Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa, May. 2nd-4th,
2003.

Julio and Corina are highly respected teachers in Buenos Aires. They are
among the teachers of the 'milongueros' (social tango dancers.) Julio
studied tango from his father, the legendary Miguel Balmaceda, who taught
many well known dancers. Since 1991, Julio has taught tango at the most
prestigious tango salons in Buenos Aires: Canning, Grisel, El Parakultural,
Almagro, and La Galeria del tango.  Corina started dancing at the age of 6.
She graduated from the National Institute of Dance in Argentina. When she
was 23, she dedicated herself to tango and learned the secrets of its
culture by dancing with the best old milonguero. Julio and Corina met in
1996 and since then, they have been working together in Buenos Aires and
give workshops to teach the essence of tango in different tango festivals in
Europe, Asia, and the USA.

As instructors, they are warm, down to earth, and funny. Julio & Corina's
classes are clear, fun, informative, well thought out, and well presented.
As dancers, their steps, figures and posture can be characterized by
'elegant, gentle, and round.' Together, they transmit precision and beauty
on all of their movements. As performers, they have performed with the
famous Orchestra COLOR TANGO. In 1998, they joined the cast of the famous
Broadway tango show FOREVER TANGO.

Along with the workshops, there will be a special Saturday evening dance
with a tango show by Julio & Corina. Please see the workshop schedule
attached to the end of this e-mail, or check out the workshop link

of this event. For out of town dancers, there are some Seattle dancers happy
to open up their homes for you to stay during the event, please e-mail us
ASAP for housing information.

Attendance at all workshops will be limited by the capacity of the room.
Please help us by register early! For more information, please contact Tony
