[TSOM-Announce] Thank you for a successful weekend of Workshops and Milonga with Maxi!!!

To the Tango Community,

Kyra and Augusto want to thank you for your participation in the 2017 Maxi Gluzman Argentine Tango workshops.

Maxi's workshops were as fresh and instructional as usual with rich information and practices that we can start using on the dance floor and some a bit more challenging - but no worries a review is coming in about a year!

The Maxilonga was FANTASTIC! With Maxi Gluzman at the epicenter, we enjoyed his great selection of music, Kyra's home-made food, the ambience of the Four Seasons, Lubomir's talent as he was unknowingly put on the spot and later distributed chocolate cake donated by paul, and above all we enjoyed each other's dancing and presence!

Kyra, the driving force who did most of the work, and Augusto want to recognize a generous donor who remains anonymous, and the gracious help from Marisa, Mariana, Tamara, Clementine, Bruce who stayed through the end of the "endless" Maxilonga, and the organizers of Tango 5400.

You are awesome!

Saturday, Oct 21, 2017

1:15 to 2:30. Unusual changes of direction: from the elegant to the dynamic, we will make our dance more lively by learning seldom-used changes of direction.

2:45 to 4:00. Parallel to crossed to parallel:  We will work on increasing our capacity to improvise and connect to the music by switching back and forth between crossed and parallel system.

4:15 to 5:30. Posture and qualities of movement: this class is about how to find balance in a natural way and how to use this balance expressively.  We will learn and practice the concepts of parada, pasada, and cadencia.

Sunday, Oct 22, 2017

1:15 to 2:30. Milonga (fast!):  Time to take the training wheels off!
2:45 to 4:00. Sacadas technique and improvisation: in this class we will study the elements of a good sacada and apply them to freely add sacadas to our dance.

4:15 to 5:30. Unusual and forced crosses: this class is about learning how to lead the
classic cross and the forced cross from unusual positions.  From the follower's point of view we will improve the mechanics of crosses, as well as enhance our awareness to be ready for them in every situation.
