Re: [TANGO-L] A Dancer's Guide to Music

[Stephen Brown <Stephen.P.Brown @DAL.FRB.ORG>]

>>Trini Regaspi of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, asked about teachers who give
music workshops.<<

Leandro and Andrea give workshops in moving to music.  Also Alex Krebs and
Susana Miller emphasize rhythm in their workshops.  Florencia Taccetti
works extensively with rhythm in her milonga and vals classes.

For those who are without local or visiting teachers who address rhythm,
listening and learning to move to the music is a great alternative.  I
typically recommend the early recordings of Francisco Canaro (La Melodia de
Nuestro Adios or Las Grandes Orquestas de Tango) because it has simpler
rhythm.  Miguel Calo with Alberto Podesta singing is also great.  You can
read my guide to recordings suitable for dancers new to tango at
