[TSOM-Announce] Jay Abling back in Minneapolis!!

Hi Tangueras and Tangueros of Minneapolis,

I have exciting news to share: Jay Abling will be visiting us for the month of August!

We have classes, practica and great milongas planned.

Thursday Night Classes at Four Seasons Dance Studio


Each week will build into the next as the subjects become more complex. In addition, the 7pm 'Leaders Technique' builds into the 8pm 'Key to Tango Movement' class. The 'Leaders Technique' is only open to leaders, however the 'Keys to Tango Movement' is designed for both followers and leaders.

All of these classes are open to all-levels of dancers.

Jays' Class Themes
Aug. 6th - Walking to Rebotes
Aug. 20th - Pivoting to Forward Boleos
Aug. 27th - Turning to Interconnected Sacadas

7pm - Leader's Technique
Learn Jay's techniques to create an irresistible lead. This class is devoted to developing successful leaders. Jay will be focusing on teaching the fundamental elements of Argentine tango from an advanced perspective.
Each class will focus on one element and apply the new knowledge to a more complex movement (which we will cover at 8 pm).

8pm - Key to Tango Movement
Followers and leaders will discover the simple keys to complex movements.
Jay will be focusing on teaching the fundamental elements of Argentine tango from an advanced perspective. 
We will work on taking basic techniques (timing, connection and dynamics) up to advanced level of execution and precision.

9pm - Practica
We have added a practica so we can follow up on class concepts and over-arching ideas. Everyone is welcome to attend (whether you attended class or not).
