My indoor greenhouse will start to produce little seedlings, which reminds me of new beginnings, new opportunities. Not just another day,it's another chance that we should embrace.   Tango classes are like a greenhouse, a little love, some good music, a sprinkling of vocabulary fertilizer, and good organic movement will encourage your growth!  Hoping to see all of our favorite students in class this month!!!   Technique classes this month at Tango & I: Every Saturday morning at 10 am! Our guest instructor Miriam Ziven ( see more about her below) And Sabine Ibes will be teaching these classes.  Bio mechanics? what the heck does that mean?  bi·o·me·chan·ics ˌbīōməˈkaniks/ noun the study of the mechanical laws relating to the movement or structure of living organism There you have it! How will we relate it to tango: discovering how  your bones and muscles work together to make you move in a more natural way. To improve your body awareness so you can change the little things to make your tango dance a comfortable one and an esthetically pleasing one as well!   You will receive a helpful video in order to remember what we have done in class! Sign up NOW, Sign up here This is an ALL LEVEL class for LEADERS and FOLLOWERS One Class Credit Walk in class (highly recommended to take all 4!!) February 4 - 11 - 24 with Miriam February 18 with Sabine At Dance Life Ballroom February classes at TaNGo & I   All classes are taught at Dance Life Ballroom, Minneapolis This month Foundations/beginners, every Wednesday evening at 6.30 AND Saturday morning at 10    Check it out: our very detailed beginner curriculum!

It will be about 2.5 years since I came up from Argentina to the US. I have had memorable experiences since that time with artist residencies and teaching workshops in California, Arizona, and Illinois. Initially, I came to Minnesota to help out my sister and brother in law with their growing family( they had a baby last year).It is just them in this region and I feel it is a familial duty to be present just in case they need anything. My family parrot is also here living with them, and I am one of his favorite humans in his world (how could I pass up kisses and cuddles from a silky can opener?). So the first months I have been here being initially to assist them. Like many others, I can not stay away from dance for too long and started to go to the milongas in town. It is always my goal to be of service to the communities that I interact with. Before offering classes here in Minneapolis-St. Paul. I had mate and coffee with several people here in town and listened to what they wished for the community. I heard recurring themes and a niche where I could be of some assistance. One of those themes is the Technical classes for people who dance The Tango. I really enjoy teaching technique classes for tango because I consider myself artist/technician who works in the realm of Art/Science. I have studied and worked extensively in music theory and composition for musicians and dancers alike, and soft and hard sciences as well. I look at Tango with all of these different lenses, together or separately. Helping people move more efficiently, without pain, and safely is the name of the game for me. Whether it be working through the range of abilities, from teaching beginners up through performing with other professionals, I am up for problem-solving. If I am able to help them make something beautiful for them whether it be a physical or mental connection with their Tango it is a double win. Miriam will be teaching the Tango para Tod@s class Saturdays 10 am at DanceLife Ballroom starting February 4th. She is happy to sit down and listen and get to know about your experiences in the Minnesota Tango Community, so reach out to her for coffee or mate, or to attend one of her classes around the city. Looking forward to getting to know you better, Abrazos, Miriam Copyright © 2017 Tango and I, All rights reserved.

[TSOM-Announce] Tango with Loisa: Classes, parties, upcoming

Classes, workshops, events with Loisa Friend on Facebook Follow on Twitter Forward to a Friend Regular Group Lessons Class and Event Calendar Tuesday: Beginning Tango 6:30-7:45PM - Intermed: 7:45-9 PM Thursday: Advanced tango, 7:30-9PM  Saturday: Beginning tango 10:00 - 11:30AM Regular Saturday workshops in essential topics Regular Public Dances Tuesday Tango Party 9:00  Milonga with talk, food and wine, 3142 1st Ave S, 55408. $5 Classes: My classes are heavy on those incredibly useful tips and tricks that make tango what it is. Every artist needs to learn technique, every craftsman needs to learn the tricks of the trade. You can spend years trying to discover them on your own, or come to my classes and I'll clue you in. Hint: You can't see them in a video, or even watching the masters dance in person. Those Argentines are sneaky! Women who want to learn to lead, or lead better, are welcome. Thursday lessons - we go fast, but this is the cream. Come and try it! February is Milonga Month! Every February we concentrate on Milonga. Milonga is such an important dance - yet it remains as an afterthought in many classes. That is so wrong! It is so much fun, it is easier than tango so is great for beginners, and followers love it. Once you learn milonga, the connection, posture, walk and embrace transfer easily to vals and tango. Don't overlook milonga! Own it!  Private Lessons:  Every private lesson is worth at least 5 group lessons. You get the information that is just for you, so you make progress fast. Call me for package deals! Tuesday Party: Someone said to me this week "The Tuesday Party! I forgot how much fun that is! I'm coming!" You should too!. Food, wine, dancing, friends, conversation in a lovely, no pressure atmosphere. 9PM every Tuesday. Upcoming: I will be teaching a tango workshop in Duluth, MN on March 4th and 5th. We are delighted that Oscar Casas is returning in June!! Classes with Oscar Casas June 8 to June 13. Musings: We often talk about trust in tango - partners need to trust each other. What does that trust entail? To me, I want my partner to trust that I will give everything in this dance, and they will recognize and respect that. I will never hurt my partner. That means special care to keep both their bodies and their egos from harm. No squeezing, pressing on their arm or back. No fancy moves to show off to others rather than being totally with my partner. No big moves when the dance floor is too crowded to do them safely, or if I cannot lead or follow them well. No embarrassing them by stopping and teaching them on or close to the dancefloor. No refusing and rejecting them in a superior way or in order to teach them a lesson. Will you pledge to treat your partner with respect? Of course! Tango Boutique! Clothes, shoes and accessories for the dancer.  Clothes that fit, stay on, have color, flow beautifully, with real style.  And great prices! Shoes from $40 to $150, including some great values in preowned.  All clothes under $100. Come and shop during parties and get an unbiased opinion from seasoned tango dancers. :) Buenos Aires! Time to plan for 2017~ if you want to go on my tour! The next trip will be in November to December. Pick the dates that work for you and let me know so I can arrange housing. I'll need to know for sure, with a deposit, by the first of August. Limited space is available, so that I can give you the attention you deserve.

[TSOM-Announce] Tango Love and More...

I'm inspired...

Hello, tango friends, our visiting teachers -- Somer Surgit and Jessica Stserbakova -- send their love AND a big thank you to all who embraced them this Jan. 20-22. They not only saw, but felt, our passion for this dance... and our willingness to work hard in group and private lessons.

FRI: The all-levels milonga class made us smile with cool moves and valuable tips for technique; their performance at Puro Tango was a thumbs-up W-O-W.

SAT: DJ Somer's music was FANTASTIC. We drew a record crowd to Tango5400!

SUN: Their workshop opened our eyes to new possibilities in turns and direction changes, and also kicked our butts! 

To keep the knowledge they shared with us alive -- until their possible return in January 2018 :) I already have a wait list! -- please join me in practice:

.. Monday, Jan. 30, 8-10 p.m. Desperados Eagles Club. $5

.. Sunday, Feb. 5, 3-5 p.m. Triune Masonic Temple. $5. (Hubby and I will host)

Peace out,

Pauline
