[TSOM-Announce] Fwd: Sept 1-5 YOUR tango weekend, what to expect!


Tango weekend - Potluck Practica - how to book private lessons - our vendors - Michelle Lamb - Korey Ireland - Milongas - September 1-5
View this email in your browser

Almost here!  What can you expect? And where do you sign up?

Our local team has been working hard to ensure that our Twin City tango community will have a tango weekend to remember! Lynda Cannova, Donald Rowe, Megan Harrington, Jean Mueller, Paul Lohman, Sabine Ibes, Avery Harrington, Diana Devi, Janeen Rae and Jennifer Wang have been generous with their time, planning so that YOU can dance, learn and grow!  Please sign up for classes with Michelle Lamb. This woman will astound you with her creative ways of teaching the tango.
PLUS, Saturday at 2 - a musicality lecture by Korey Ireland, designed for YOU! Do not miss this interactive musicality spectacular! ( It's part of your 6 pass class - or you can purchase it separately)       * Pre-registration pricing ends August 20*
From performing with Liza Minelli to Hula and Ballet Michelle's philosophy about teaching is a simple one: "I believe in doing things anatomically correct and with ease. Incidentally, this is beautiful and has longevity. I will always focus on body alignments, efficiency of movement, and connection. That is what is important to me, and when it is functioning well, the rest is easy. I create a warm and nurturing environment for learning and cannot help my often off-colored humor. I hope to provide you with tools to make your own growth and discernment. I look forward to our work together."

PRIVATE LESSONS AVAILABLE

Here you can find the schedule 

But wait, there is so much more this weekend!

A potluck practica is presented on Sunday early evening! You want to dance with your friends, make connections with new tango friends, plus, you need to eat to keep up your tango energy!  ( for later that night Tango 5400 is up and running)
Want to book a mini private (15 min) with Mitra Martin during the practica? You can!!

Potluck practica Sunday Sept 4, 5.30 - 9 at the home of Ken Keacher - 7631 South Bay Drive, Bloomington $10

Plus 3 Grand Milongas


ALSO, to make you feel and look festive, like every tango dancer should feel, we present our vendors:

Twist & Rock
The Twist & Rock collection is inspired by stillness and movement.
I combine wire and stone — both semi-precious stones and natural Lake Superior stones — to form each piece of jewelry. No two pieces are exactly alike. My freestyle approach to wire wrapping pays homage to movement. The stones I use reflect the stillness or peace many of us seek in life.  By Pauline Oo
Diana Devi
Jewelry for your artistic expression, custom work on request by Diana Devi
Adorn Tango Attire

Comfortable tango attire for the dancer in all of us.
Adorn Tango's Exclusive Designs are imagined and crafted by hand in Minnesota. We also carry a thoughtfully curated selection of dance-friendly clothing that will help you find your groove. 
We are now offering Bandolera and Katrinski tango shoes. These supremely comfortable shoes can handle all your moves. By Megan Harrington

Soft Chocolates
Soft Chocolates® are clothes that melt around you, feel sensuous, and are characterized by styles that allow the dancer to be you. Inspired by Argentine tango and the curves of the female dance form, seams flow and entwine. By Betsy Henderson

Limited Private lessons available for:

Tomas Howlin, Korey Ireland, Michelle Lamb and Mitra Martin

You want to add something extra to the weekend?? A private lesson will do just that! They are here for a very short period of time, and their schedule is tight. But there are some little holes we can fill up for you!  Mitra is available for mini private lessons during the potluck practica! 

Video: Korey Ireland in Buenos Aires, Salon Canning playing his Bandoneon and leading the orchestra. Plus a video of Michelle Lamb, having fun with her partner at Valentano.

 

Without the generosity of our local sponsors, and volunteers I would not have been able to share this incredible weekend with you! For those who believe in this project I am forever grateful! Sincerely, Sabine Ibes
