Saturday, June 15th 2019:

Master Class for Women - Adornments: 11:45am-1:45pm ($35)
Two hours of intense technique work for women only.  I got many requests to repeat last year's workshop so here is our chance!

Rhythmic vs Melodic: 2:00pm-5:15pm
These are 2 intense workshops about rhythmic and melodic tangos, and how to use the mechanic of the movement to differentiate between these 2 styles according to the accent in the music.  Examples of walks and turns for each style.  If you are interested, you must register in both.  It's divided in 2 due to the intense material.  Cost is $60 in advance or $70 at the door.  There is no option to take only one:
2:00pm-3:30pm: Rhythmic vs Melodic I
3:45pm-5:15pm: Rhythmic vs Melodic II


Sunday, June 16th 2019:

Understanding Roles: 1:30pm-3:30pm ($35)
Two intense hours focused on understanding both roles.  Not gender oriented.  Fundamentals and differences between leader or proposer and follower or partner.

Intro to Candombe and transition to Milonga: 3:45pm-5:15pm
A fun, up beat workshop to understand the rhythm and the pauses in the milonga. Cost $30 in advance or $35 at the door.


Questions?: email at ferinmpls@gmail.com, or just ask me.

Keep in mind that Fernanda's workshops are focused on technique that will help your ability on the dance floor.  It's not stage tango.  If you are interested on other topics, or have a special request feel free to contact us.

They say that if you haven't danced tango in Buenos Aires, then you haven't danced tango. Is this the year? Come with us to Buenos Aires this November! This will be my 21st trip - join us! 

My greatest joy is helping visitors understand and feel comfortable in the authentic Porteño tango world and in BA. I will take you to milongas that are right for your level. I will introduce you to my milonguero and milonguera friends. Some of them will naturally dance with you, opening the door for other connections on the dance floor.

You do not need to be a great dancer! But you will leave as one, and with a much greater understanding of tango. You bypass the usual initiation period in BA milongas, and feel immediately like you belong. When you dance often and with very good milongueros, your trip is so much more valuable. Often, I see tables with people who come to BA alone, and they are not dancing at all, or dancing with poor dancers. This is sad, because if they had come with me, they would have been dancing.
 
My tango house guests also enjoy the camaraderie of other housemates - for meals at home, for milongas and classes, for practicing, for jaunts around the city or out-of-town excursions. So if you come to Buenos Aires with us, you can choose autonomy, hang out with a new best friend or go out with the whole group. You never have to feel alone. We have parties all the time. We will have typical Argentine meals, and usually an asado. I will give you classes, city tours, shoe and clothes shopping tours (with the best discounts), and help you to become familiar with the streets and public transportation so that you can feel comfortable. I will help you negotiate, and understand the complex money situation as well as keep you out of trouble. I provide maps and guides, as well as help you find the best deals and steer clear of overpricing and fraud - which can be common, especially for the tango tourist. As soon as you sign up, you will start receiving informational emails from me to help you plan and pack.

I plan on leaving around November 13, staying about 4 weeks into December.  You can stay the whole time or whatever time you want. Contact me with your dates! I need to have your deposit by the beginning of July.

My goal is to save you plenty of time, money and energy, while getting the most out of your vacation tour. The cost is reasonable - as little as $700/week for double occupancy.

Remember, medical and dental care in Buenos Aires is excellent, (often better than the US) and much cheaper than the U.S. If you are in need of some elective or non-insured procedure, let me know and I will find the best care for you. This can often save you more than the cost of the trip.

[TSOM-Announce] TSoM Milonga Pricing Change ..... Starting in July

Hello Fellow TSoM Members,

It has become increasingly difficult for the TSoM to break-even on our monthly milongas, as a result we will be incrementally changing the admission pricing starting in July.  Please see below:


As a Board, we acknowledge that this may not be a popular decision, but a necessary one to continue to support our mission to foster Argentine Tango, offer new venues, and web services.

Kind Regards,

Corinne O'Neil
