We are working on secadas, or as my followers may call them "those leggy things you do". They can be lovely and so fun, or painful depending on execution.  We need to do them right! I often get questions from local followers asking how they can help their leaders, who are really trying to please, to fix their secadas.  Let's see if we can do it in class. First Wednesday at Krung Thep!!  Wednesday, October 7th. Good dancers, wood floor, great food and wine, music that you love, free parking. Another chance to hang out with Maxi Gluzman! Krung Thep Thai restaurant, 2523 Nicollet Ave S. Mpls. Music starts at 7 - come early for the best table. www.krungthepthaicuisine.org $5 Saturday is the TSoM Milonga at Four Seasons on Hennepin.  I am teaching the lesson and DJ'ing, so be sure to come and support me!  8:30 lesson, dance at 9:30  There is also a Grand Milonga in Rochester in conjunction with the Maxi Gluzman workshops there.   Also, this weekend is the St Paul Art Crawl. Two of my students have studios there. One has invited us to show off our tango in teh Northwestern Bldg. It's happening Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday. Call me if you would like to help, and let me know what time is best for you!  saintpaulartcrawl.org/ Upcoming: Saturday, October 17th: Workshop on the other dances that Argentines dance in milongas.  We'll cover Chacarera, Zamba, Canyengue, and even a little Candombe. We'll not only learn the dances, but we'll learn about the music and the history behind them. Essential if you are headed to Buenos Aires, important if you really want to understand tango. It will improve your tango, as well as your understanding of the cuture.  12:00 Please let me know you're coming! $20 Musings: I was listening to a talk about "Blue Zones" - areas of the world where people live measurably longer lives. The people share common lifestyle characteristics that contribute to their longevity, some of which are moderate, regular physical activity, stress reduction (meditation), low alcohol intake, especially wine, engagement in spirituality, and  engagement in social life. I was struck by how closely this describes the tango lifestyle. Of course we go on and on about how healthy tango is for you.  But I also hear from people who are just a little embarrassed by how tango has taken over their lives.  Why, they are out dancing 3, sometimes 4 nights a week! How frivolous their life has become!  To which I would like to reply - what's wrong with that? We as a species were meant to hang out with each other! It is quite common in many cultures to go to the bar, or pub, or gasthof, every night. Why did we get out of that habit? And really - what else is so important? Skip the gym, Netflix, Facebook - and go dance. Do it for your health!   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 next year! The trip is full for November to December is still available.  Pick the dates that work for you and still stay in the house with us. We have so much fun!.  follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2015 Dance with Lois Donnay, All rights reserved.

DescriptionThis class is designed to improve your Tango on many levels and in many ways. The class starts with 15 minutes of fun and entertaining drills (although drills may be perceived as boring and mundane to some they are without a doubt the most beneficial way to create the quickest improvement towards a higher level of dance) by including drills into the new format you should expect to experience immediate and ongoing improvements.

Each week a specific area of Tango will be dissected and broken down to it's most natural state. The goal of this class is to enhance the joy of our respective journey in this beautiful dance.
