[TSOM-Announce] Desperardos stop dancing..

Dear Tango Friends,

Just when you thought the world couldn’t get any crazier..

The Tango Desperados have been informed they have to stop dancing…

On the 8^th bar of the song… We’ll pause really, because I don’t think any of us want to stop.

This is getting complicated. I might be in over my head. 

Let’s call in an expert to explain:

 

Bob Barnes, Tango dancer and Bandoneonist of the Hiawatha Tango Orchestra, will give a mini musicality lesson on Monday Nov. 27. He will show how tango music follows predictable patterns and will show you places to pause. Most tango phrases are 8 steps long & since the singer breathes on the last step, the 7th. step is a pretty good place to stop dancing!

 

Bob will show how some pauses raise you up and some ground you. He will also show how leaders can use neuroscience and chamber music to make dances more memorable. You can spend a lifetime learning steps from great dancers. Sometimes the music can tell you when to not use them!

 

Sometime after the mini lesson, Bob will play a tanda or two on solo bandoneon

 

And for the sake of your total holiday satisfaction, I should add that Bob will also be playing with his Hiawatha Orchestra for the TSOM Christmas Milonga!

But you don’t have to wait that long.  Come this Monday!.

 

Ps. It’s also my mum’s birthday that night.. (Margaret) So if she comes, perhaps you’ll help me wish her a happy 86^th?

 

Wishing you all the best in dancing and in life,

Scott, Michael, and your friends at Desperados
