Let's keep the buzz going! Share with all your friends! startribune.com argentine-tango-finds-home-in-minnesota Upcoming: New Event!!:  Victor's on Water:  An elegant new space - VIctor's on Water in Excelsior, MN has invited us to have some milongas there on Thursday nights!! Nice floor, food and drink specials. This place reminds me of Hotel Ivy, one of our most popular midweek milongas. We will start on Thursday July 13th, 2017.  205 Water St, Excelsior, 55331   We'll start with a fun lesson (7:30), then dance at 8PM to 10:30  $5.  Thursday nights are Ladies Night on Water Street in Excelsior, so this fine restaurant wants to do something special.  www.victorsonwaterstreet.com  We will have a tango event again at the 333 Turf Club, downtown Mpls, on July 19th from 4pm-6pm! They loved having our group there last summer, and we loved being there! This is a beautiful space, and the people who attend are young and enthusiastic. This is a happy hour for the tenants, and the theme is South American. Free!! Georg Shoepf will be here! He was the teacher who happened to be passing through Minneapolis last year, and we convinced him to teach a few lessons. Students loved him!  He will be back, around 28th of July to 13th of August. We will hold several workshops while he is in town. Topics may include: arrastre & barrida variations; easy volcadas for a nice dance flow; manage the sacada; bits and pieces for milonga (and how they fit together); playful ocho cortadas. Classes this Week:  How are your basics? Once your basics are solid, the more complicated moves and embellishments are easy. Until the basic technique is there, these moves will be labored, unmusical and uncomfortable. I see a lot of poor basics on the floor - many that could be easily fixed. We've been starting a series on secadas in Intermediate classes. I see a great need for improvement in this area as I watch local dancers in the milongas. Another need I see is turns, so we will do those in Beginning. Intermediates are always encouraged to come early and help out in the beginning class.  In Advanced we're adding secadas to turns Private Lessons: Do you need a tango tuneup? Sometimes it can be painful to realize this, especially after you have been dancing for years, but it shouldn't be. Even the best need continuing education - if you're finished learning, your finished. Privates are the answer! Tuesday Milonga: Always a fun time, but it's been a wild time lately!.  A great mid-week break to hang out, talk, have a glass of wine and some nice dances. $5 suggested. 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. We have so much fun!  follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2017 Dance with Lois Donnay, All rights reserved.

[TSOM-Announce] Reminder-Tango picnic-Dancers with Waves

Hola, Tangueros and Family and Friends!!

 

"Dancers with Waves" is a pot-luck, tango, picnic for tangueros to picnic, dance in the grass and paddle kayaks. This year's event is at Turtle Lake County Park, 4979 Hodgson Rd, Shoreview, 55126, on Wednesday, June 28th from 3:30 pm until dark. The beach faces west, so we'll have plenty of sun and plenty of nearby shade if you need to get out of the sun.

 

There's of free, convenient parking; women's and men's changing/restrooms; a large, flat, grassy area for dancing; drinking fountains; and a swimming beach. 

 

Right next to the swimming beach and our picnic spot Dancers with Waves will supply kayaks and life vests for those who want to try paddling.  This is pot-luck, so bring a dish to share and a serving spoon if needed; we'll supply plates, cups, napkins, utensils, garbage cans etc. Bring your own beverages, coolers, chairs, blankets, towels, sunscreen and bug juice. Beer and wine ARE ALLOWED at this venue. 

 

Besides paddling and dancing, you can throw boleadoras, spin poi and perhaps spin fire. There might even be a fire spinning performance!

 

Jim Dunn and I will be at the park at 3:30 pm. Any available folks can show up early to help us stake out our tango territory; although, the park is rarely crowded. If weather threatens to cancel the event, call Jim at the park at 952-285-6858 and we'll let you know if we're cancelling.

 

This event is open to any tango dancers and their friends and family. Please forward this invite to any of your tango friends that might not be on the TSOM list. If you have any questions or wish to help out, contact Nick Aguilar at girlie1918@comcast.net.

 

If you think you might attend, please let me know so we can get an approximate count.

 

With Happy Feet,

 

Dancers with Waves
