Well I'm actively doing something about it. If you're new to tango, like me, need more practice, like me, and can not sustain the late week nights because you work a regular 8-5, like me. Then I have an option that might work for you. I rent a studio and hold a small practica every Thursday form 5:30 - 7:30. Come practice or drill. Take the opportunity to switch roles, lead to folIow, follow to lead, whatever. I play a varied selection of classico and nuevo or if you have a selection on your "i-thing" you'd like to play, it's all good. The address is 816 N. 38th St. It's located on the north end of the Aurora bridge to the west of 99. My number is 206-915-2536. bienvenidos, Greg Flawless + Feisty Followers, Feb. wkshop SOLD OUT, NEW March 10th/11th wkshop! http://allseattletango.com/mb/topic/flawless-feisty-followers-feb-wkshop-sold-out-new-march-10th11th-wkshop#post-692 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:03:38 +0000 tangojennifer 692@http://allseattletango.com/mb/ PART TWO (a brief review and continuation): Flawless and Feisty Followers - A Two Part Follower's Technique Class with Jennifer Olson Due to the overwhelming response to my Feb. Flawless and Feisty Follower's Tech. class, I have decided to hold a second workshop over the March 10th and 11th weekend. This second workshop will review a few of the key details of the first workshop but will predominately delve deeper into the idea of each individual workshop day. I expect that demand for this workshop will be high, so please pre-register to guarantee your spot! :) Day One (Flawless Followers) - Saturday, March 10th, 3 pm - 5 pm at eXit Space near Green Lake (414 NE 72nd Street, Seattle, WA 98115) After living in Buenos Aires for a year and teaching in Europe, I have seen many different womens' technique - some more flawless than others. In Day 1 of this two-part follower's technique class, we will go over the essential methods necessary to achieve the perfect technique. The whole of the dance is based on this underlying structure and it's mastery is indispensable to becoming a flawless follower. Subtle details will be revealed allowing for a more thorough understanding of the dance as well as the follower's role in the dance. Day 1 will provide the necessary information for Day 2 (Feisty Followers). Day Two (Feisty Followers) - Sunday, March 11th, 3 pm - 5 pm at eXit Space near Green Lake (414 NE 72nd Street, Seattle, WA 98115) In Day 2, we ladies will take our new found technique and develop our own personalized style. While technique is the necessary foundation to revealing your inner dancer, with technique alone, you are not sharing in the conversation with your partner. Your personality in the dance is an integral component of the dance. Move outside the box and start DANCING today instead of simply moving! *Both days are intended to be taken in succession, but an individual workshop day may also be taken with instructor permission. *Followers of all levels are welcome.
