They attend and assist  as lead or follow in  every class and practica.             We have known Marcy for quite some time now, she has been such a tremendous treasure for Tango and I. Always willing to lend a hand, even when her wrist was broken, she was brave enough to come and help out!  We adore her optimism and positive spirit. Many students have complimented her kindness and her helpful attitude in the classroom! We asked Marcy how she got started in Tango; I started dancing Argentine tango 13-14 years ago. It didn't seduce me immediately however, as it was foreign to my background in ballroom dance. It was, frankly- work. I practiced tango walk while walking my dog, in grocery stores and parking lots. My refrigerator was my partner as I practiced my ochos.  Then one day, that magical dance- effortless, infinitely connected and relaxed- happened, and I was hooked.Like a lab rat running a maze chasing cheese, I hungrily pursued tango magic with lessons, practice and travel. I still do, and I plan to continue for as long as I am able. My work as a nurse in the army reserves taught me the benefit of perseverance and delayed gratification. Tango is well worth this effort. Would you like to learn more about the Tango Fast Track? Come talk to Sabine Tango Bootcamp!!!     Help us plant the tango seedlings by spreading the word about our upcoming tango bootcamp. September 26 & 27 from 11 till 1. Maybe YOU want to learn dig in your heels once more, OR learn the other role in tango? Here you will be able to immerse yourself: learn in 4 hours what we would normally cover in 8 weeks!!!! Click HERE for all the info you need, print  a flyer, hand some out, place them at your favorite coffeeshop, bring them to work, neighborhood meetings or the state FAIR.   Every Saturday , 10 am we host a practica at Dance Life Ballroom. When you really want to learn something new, add something to your movement you need to PRACTICE.  Easy going environment Every Saturday morning at 10 am Always a teacher or assistant available Consistent practice works! Any level welcome Meet new people! Special Workshop for Tango Technique by Sabine Ibes for both leaders and followers Sat Oct 17 11 - 1 All the info you need is on this flyer!!!   In Short: Technique is the foundation of dance movement. Together with Sabine you will explore your quality of movement, (walk, pivots, sacadas, boleo, enrosque ) embrace, partnering and improvisation. Please RSVP      Guillermo Cerneaz, tango teacher extraordinaire coming to Minneapolis!   November 20 -23 Mark your agendas Diana Devi has invited Guillermo back to the twin cities by popular demand! Innovative, funny and kind tango teacher. Not to be missed! Musicality in tango Murat Erdemsel has been a tango teacher and artist for most of his adult life. He has found creative ways to explain many things tango. Including Musicality. HERE is a link to a video ( very funny and witty!!) where he talks about the "roundness" (booba) and "sharpness" (kiki) of a song by Lucio Demare.  If you want to skip the intro, start watching at 1.45 to fully understand the idea.

[TSOM-Announce] Tango Desperadoes: Musical Masters Mystic Appearances...

Hello Tango Friends,

 

This coming Monday we will enjoy three remarkable manifestations at Desperados.  Our very own master of the musical medium, DJ Pablo, will enlighten us with insights on the history and legends of tango music.  During the evening, he will cause the spirits of two Tango Maestros to manifest on our dance floor: Osvaldo Fresedo and Carlos DiSarli.  The three maestros will transport us from the ordinary waking world, into the extraordinary dimension of Tango bliss that cannot be described but must be experienced.

 

This is a continuation of our Musical Masters Mystic Appearances series..

 

 The guest masters will direct the flow of dance for 30-60 minutes, followed by our exceptional pantheon of tango legends who will inspire  general kinesthetic conviviality until we expire from a surfeit of satisfaction somewhere near ten-ish.

We hope you will all appear with us for the evening.

Desperados.. Raising your Tango Spirits every Monday!!

Happy dancing!

Scott, Michael, and your friends at Desperados

Musings:  I was thinking recently that my slogan should be "We sell fun." Or maybe, "We sell connection". Or "We Sell Hugs". I don't know, but I know that being in the tango community means that you have something to do almost every night of the week, with a diverse selection of friends, and a diverse selection of venues. You can choose to dress up or not, stay for a long time or leave early, dance a lot, talk a lot, or sit and quietly watch and listen to the music. Some milongas have themes, or alternative music, or small floors, but if you hate themes, want traditional music, and need room, there is a milonga the next night that's got what you want. And even if you hate the theme, the music, the floor, the parking, and the time - you come, and encourage your friends to come, because the energy of a room full of friends is the best gift in the world. It's fun. It's connected. And someone will give you a hug. What a wonderful gift that is. Tango Boutique! New arrivals! Clothes, shoes and accessories for the dancer.  Clothes that fit, stay on, have color, flow beautifully, with real style.  And great prices! Shoes from $40 to $120.  All clothes under $100.  Come and shop during parties and get an unbiased opinion from seasoned tango dancers. :) Buenos Aires! Time to plan for this year! The trip is planned for November 18th to December 11,  but earlier November or late December is still available.  Pick the dates that work for you and still stay in the house with us.
