[TSOM-Announce] TSoM Lost and Found and New Location for 2nd Saturday Milonga in September

Thanks to everyone that attended the 5th Saturday dance.  There will be an article and pictures in Monday's Pioneer Press!

Please join us at next month's 2nd Saturday TSoM Milonga, September 13th, at a spacious new location with a beautiful wood floor. See www.mntango.org for more details.

From Scott Chase:

Two jackets were left at the March 5th Saturday milonga at Virginia Street Church:

• a woman's size 4, black-&-white, herring-bone, Express Design Studio jacket
• a woman's denim jacket.

Please e-mail TSoM from the TSoM web site. The web master will contact me and we will figure out a way to get your garment to you.

If these items are unclaimed, they will be at the TSoM milonga gate for the next couple of milongas.

What is the famous Uruguayan "chivito"?

DJ: BataclanTango

     Saturday, August 30th, at the Virginia Street Church will be the tsom  5th Saturday milonga.  Kori Mortenson will be our D.J. and the doors open at 8:30pm;  we'll keep going till midnight.

[TSOM-Announce] Fwd: UTango Presents: MinneMadness Tango Weekend!

​The UTango Club is proud to present our first festival: the MinneMadness Tango Weekend!  

We invite you to join us for an incredible weekend of Argentine tango, featuring local and national guests that will bring the best in dancing, music, and history. 

Save the Date!  The festival will take place November 7 - 9th.

~ UTango Club

[TSOM-Announce] Clarification: who is Ziegler?

Dear tanqueros,

In the world of tango music, there are 2 different "Ziegler" tango ensembles:

Pablo Ziegler, who played with Piazzolla from 1978-1989, then he created his own ensemble.  His playing style is a bridge between jazz, improvisation and the new tango of Piazzolla.  His last name is actually Salzano, and Ziegler is his maternal last name. He will be in Minneapolis in Sept 26 & 27 at the Dakota and at the Northrup.  We (bataclanTango) are not related to these events.

Alejandro Ziegler founded the Alejandro Ziegler Cuarteto Tango, that plays traditional tango music.  BataclanTango is proud to bring this quartet for the 3rd time to the Twin Cities.  We'll have a milonga on Saturday, Oct 18th (place to be defined) and a concert on Sunday, Oct 19th (at 5pm at the JCC).  We are still working on details and I'll communicate them to you as soon as we have them.  The admission for the concert is going to be very affordable, and it will include a reception where we can also dance.

Alejandro is not related to Pablo, it's like Paul Williams and Robin Williams…  

So:

Sept: Pablo Ziegler: fusion between jazz, and nuevo tango, more oriented to listen to.

Oct: Alejandro Ziegler: traditional tango ensemble, oriented to dance.  Sponsored by BataclanTango.

Both are going to be great and not be missed!

[TSOM-Announce] 5th Saturday Milonga

     A quick note to all of you out there in the tango world about the upcoming 5th Saturday milonga.

     Once again. this August 30th, we will be holding the 5th Saturday milonga at the Virginia Street church in St. Paul.  Check the tsom web page for further details, and during  the coming week a few more e-mails giving more info on a great milonga planned for your entertainment!

[TSOM-Announce] TOMORROW, MY LAST CLASS TOGETHER

Hello everybody,

I am getting ready to leave "again" and I really  wish there will be many "agains" again, because that only means that I will be able to be in touch with the people and place that I've been loving for so many years.

I am always leaving and arriving to new places since I've been traveling all my live to bring the beauty of this dance and other dances as well to new communities and that is what my life is about.

I understand for most of you doing regular jobs and lives, this is a bit hard to understand and some times unconceivable or may be enviable,

Well, let me tell you that what you don't understand is that every work is difficult no matter how fun and easy it looks and that everybody has to be responsable of their own choices in life and specially the job you pick to do with freedom, with joy and with a great spirit of service, then you'll be happy no matter what you are doing.

This will be my last class for a long period of time since I can not plan to be back earlier than next spring and even as much as I love this place I am looking to be dancing more so that means that this may not be my first choice as a place to live and dance in the future. :)

I am not worry about it, I know that the future will reveal that on its own.

Let's enjoy our last class together then as we did every time since the first time I got here.

I like to thank every students who came to my class in the past and today, I like to thank all of them for how much they taught me and how much I learned from them.

I wish I was being helpful to this community during all this years and I hope I will continuous coming and be in touch even if not as often.

Tomorrow class:

"ENROSQUES & LAPICES FOR EVERYBODY"

Watch it here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhneK9TdzfQ

8 to 9:30 pm @ 4 Seasons Dance Studio.

$20 or $10 for students.

See you tomorrow!!!

[TSOM-Announce] Tango body workshops and blog info

Hello Twin City Tango Dancers,
 
I will be teaching a group of three workshop sessions on the Tango Dancer's Body with exercises that will keep you dancing forever! 
 
The first session will be on September 6th 1-3pm at Tapestry Folkdance Center. The topic will be Fabulous Feet  - exercises to get you there!  Keeping your feet healthy is the foundation you must have to achieve your Tango goals.
 
The second class held on October 4th 1-3pm at Tapestry Folkdance Center will apply Gyrotonic-based exercises to the principles of Tango. You will learn to strengthen your core muscles in ways that benefit the grace and ease of your Tango movements.
 
The third class will focus on pre and post-milonga exercises to help you dance the night away! Special emphasis will be placed on proper alignment of your body over your axis. With these exercises and informed alignment, you will gain increased flexibility and decreased post-dance discomfort.
Date and time of the third class will be sent out as soon as available. All classes are just $20/class.
 
 Do you remember Mitra from Oxygen Tango in Los Angeles?  She was one of the teachers at TTC.   Check out her blog!
http://www.oxygentango.com/news/2014/7/29/care-for-the-feet-that-keep-you-dancing-part-1-of-3.html

You will find an article there about the special foot care necessary for dancers. This is the first of a three part series I have written for Tango dancers. The second article will include basic foot exercises so critical for dancers. The third installment will be all about selection and care of Tango shoes - so stay tuned! -
