Classes, workshops, events in tango 


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 Public Dances
Tuesday Special Milonga: It's our Halloween Night Milonga! Come and celebrate, it's so much fun when there's a special event! Come in costume, or come in orange and black, bring those leftover treats, and we will have extra food, and something very special. We also have a big birthday to celebrate🎂! Don't miss it! 9PM after the lessons. Next week's theme: Crazy legs! 

Upcoming: Saturday Workshop on Nailing the Endings. Nov. 3rd, 2018  One of my most popular workshops! I get such good response from followers I dance with when I put a little drama in the last notes of the song. Leaders:End with a great pose, and she'll forgive any crap in the middle 😁.  Followers: Make the most of the opportunity your leader has given you to pose beautifully, or make it your own.  But how? We will focus on:
* Predicting the end of the song (musicality!)
* Cool poses - make her (and you) look great.
* Practicing the possibilities
* Tricks and shortcuts until it's second nature
* Taking advantage of your leader's position
We will also cover some floorcraft hints, so you have room for what you learn.  Held at 3142 1st Ave S 1:30 Saturday, 11/3/2018 $25.  

Private Lessons: Can't make it to the workshop? Want that special attention that only one on one with a seasoned instructor can give you? Schedule a private lesson - you'll be amazed at how valuable it is.

[TSOM-Announce] Back from the Dead part 2

So many spirits,

So little time!!

It’s the season to conjure, and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing at Desperados this week.  Three Spirits will manifest for us!

 

The spirit of Troilo

The spirit of Pugliese

The spirit of fun!  (a regular attendee!)

 

This Monday, our fabulous DJ and historical medium, Paul Lohman, will continue his musical exposition on the big four orchestras of the Golden Age. Obviously we disapperated DiSarli and D’Arienzo a few weeks back. Their atoms are still scattered.  But we have Troilo and Pugliese (Oooooh!) to visit with.

 

DJ Pablo will bring these maestros and their musical significance to life for us. We’ll dance some special tandas with them, and gain some insights along the way. No flesh eating zombies will be harmed in the making of this evening.

 

The presentation and guided dance will start near 8ish. We typically go about 40minutes. Then well carry on with our tradition of sharing the best dance with the best people.

 

Yeah, you guys.

 

 

Looking forward to seeing you together with the Maestros!

 

Scott, Michael, and your friends at Desperados Practica

 🎃 A spooktacular October TSoR milonga, this Saturday!

Oct. 27, Masked Milonga with special guest DJ Maxi Gluzman at Dahl Dance Center (costumes/masks optional, but c'mon, let's make this memorable). 👻👹

Time: 8PM 'til around midnight.
Admission: $8 TSoR/TSoM members and students, $10 non-members at the door.

This dance is in conjunction with Maxi Gluzman's tango workshop weekend in Rochester, October 27-28 (see visitor post from Kyra and Augusto on TSoR's Facebook page for a detailed flyer). 

Plus, there will be a special performance(s) by local tango pros!
And there might be some tasty treats, too (more if you wear masks and/or costumes). 👹👽🤡 (ok...maybe not clowns...😨)

A bit more about our guest DJ Maxi Gluzman: originally from Buenos Aires, he is a master of the milonguero close embrace tango style. Maxi is a thoughtful, perceptive teacher and enjoys dancing and mingling with his students and others at milongas. This is his fifth year of offering workshops in Minneapolis and Rochester; come dance and welcome him back. His presence, along with special performances, will make this no ordinary milonga!

[TSOM-Announce] Thank you for the gwonderful participation in Maxi's Workshops and Milonga!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who participated in Maxi Gluzman workshops this past weekend. You made all worth the effort! And most important, we hope that Maxi's classes full of practical social dance teachings will start making a difference for you on the dance floor! many people deserve a special mention for all their unsolicited (well, lightly coerced) and unselfish help in this event: Marisa Riviere for her admirably enthusiastic participation, and motherly pampering while we abused her home and refrigerator; Tamara DeMarco and Andres Gross for their kind participation and help in many ways. And here is the commercial interruption you were suspecting (wouldn't let you down): If you missed any of it or want a booster infusion of Maxi's teachings and another milonga, you don't have to wait until next year, you can just come over to Rochester this coming weekend:

[TSOM-Announce] Fwd: You? a tango buddy? Well yes you can!!!





We want you to be a new recruit!

Your friends that you are inviting? They will be so very happy to see a familiar face when they arrive at bootcamp!!!  

Looking for tango buddies to help out at the Queer tango Bootcamp coming up in November!

You too can help grow our tango community! Become a peer to peer tango buddy!  

At Queer Tango Bootcamp all the new beginner students will be paired up with a tango dancer: YOU!!  Guided by experienced teachers and tango facilitators,  you will acquire the tools that you will need to help a beginner student have fun while learning to dance the tango!

You will have to attend one learning session and 2 practicas, where you will practice with other peer tango dancers (buddies) guided by our tango facilitators. And then, obviously, the Bootcamp itself.

You can choose between 2 sessions:

  • A- Thursday October 25 at 7pm ( at Tango & I studio, Pleasant Ave)
  • or B- Thursday November 1 ( at Tango & I studio, Pleasant Ave)
  • Practica - Saturday October 27, 11am till 2 ( at Flying Pig Studio) Saturday     November 3, 11am till 2 ( at Flying Pig Studio)
  • Bootcamp - Saturday November 10 10am till 2pm
  • You also have the option to join the beginner classes for free, where you can work at your hearts content on either leader or follower role, and ask questions.

YES,  you too will get to wear these incredibly stylish "will gancho for hugs" t-shirt

IF you have been dancing tango for over 6 months YOU can apply!!

Let us know that you are interested! and what session will work for you, either A or B

Some of you have been a tango buddy in the past, you will be paired up with a new tango buddy, in the spirit of peer to peer teaching. ( :
 


The last bootcamps have been very successful, with over 50 brand-new dance students attending each bootcamp. When Tango & I created the event on facebook (see here), within a day we had approx 200 interested. Our hope is that 20% will come and play with us that day. 20 more days of marketing, we will need YOUR help!

Warmly,
Janeen, Sabine and the Tango & I team!

Please share


How do people know that Argentine Tango is super awesome? WHEN YOU SHARE IT WITH THEM!

This bootcamp is geared towards the queer community.  At bootcamp ( as in our Tango & I classes) we do not conform to heteronormative dance roles. We focus on followership and on leadership equally. 


You can share this facebook event page with friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, or send them to our webpage where they register and prepay as well .

THANK YOUUUUUU
