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.

Videos of Ariadna and Fernando: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2aZpAfhms" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2aZpAfhms</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXserBSw2go" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXserBSw2go</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6_GMmZ15b8" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6_GMmZ15b8</a> About Ariadna and Fernando: Ariadna Naveira Ariadna began to dance when she was very little. She discovered the first steps in this dance with her brother, Federico Naveira, with whom she would form a pair for 15 years. She attended the National School of Dances to obtain the title of National Teacher of Dances, of which she graduated in 2006. In her extended dance formation we can find corporal expression, contemporary dance, dance jazz, musical comedy, flamenco, folklore, acrobatics, theater, music, etc. . . . all of them complementary to her tango dance, which forged her as one of the more recognized dancers of her generation. Between her numerous presentations with tango, you can find appeareances at milongas in Buenos Aires such as like Salon Canning - Parakultural, La Viruta, Confiteria Ideal, and theaters like the Broadway Theater. She also integrated the Olga Besio's Ballet and worked in education with her mother in her tango classes for kids and adolescents. She participated in the film "Tango, no me dejes nunca", of Carlos Saura and in diverse short length films (made in countries such as France and Japan). Between the establishments in which she taught classes are Tango Brujo, La Galeria del Tango, Cochabamba, the Torcuato Tasso; as well as in international festivals such as "Tangomagia" in Amsterdam (2 years in a row); the "Congreso Internacional de Tango Argentino" (C.I.T.A.) and "Pulpo's Tango Week", these last two taking place in the City of Buenos Aires. She also taught in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Riga, Basel, Venice, and other cities with Lucas Molina, with whom also offered exhibitions. Lately she has been teaching with Greta Hekier, in the Club Belgrano, more known as Cochabamba. Fernando Sanchez Fernando began very slowly in tango in 2001, without intention of making a professional career out of it. His first tango partner was Nayla Vacca, with whom he developed his first of many activities in Argentina and later, all over the world. His teacher, Alfredo Maldonado, gave him the opportunity to perform in his first tango show, in the Calle Corrientes, more precisely at the Casona del Teatro. This gave them way to appear in several milongas in Buenos Aires like La Ideal, Salon Canning - Parakultural, Porteno y Bailarin, among others. They also toured countries like United Arab Emirates, England, New Zealand, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Brazil, both teaching and performing together until February of the 2009, at which time they decided to part ways. Ariadna and Fernando appeared for the first time together at the show in Cafe Tortoni. They performed in several milongas, the first being Sunderland, and followed by others like Salon Canning-Parakultural, La Viruta, Porteno y Bailarin, Lola Mora, Bendita Milonga, Praktika 8, La Marshall, and El Sotano, among others. Their first tour allowed them to participate in 2nd International Tango Festival of Bergamo in Italy and in the 12th Nora's Tango Week in San Francisco, in the United States. Also they visited cities like Torino, Milan, Rome, Udine, Genoa and Washington DC. Together Ariadna and Fernando are starting a new path in their dance, deciding to give tango the traditional freshness that helps to maintain this dance alive all over the the world.

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.
