| We’ll be dropping by Jack Wolf’s Dance Gumbo tonight to encourage them to play some more Argentine Tango in the mix. The Dance Gumbo is an event DJ’d by Jack Wolf in which you can expect the widest variety of dances throughout the evening. Jack will play EC Swing, WC Swing, waltz, cha-cha, zydeco, tango, salsa, merengue, and other dance music to keep the eclectic crowd moving. The dance will be held at Triangle Dance Studio. Jason Laughlin & Gulden Ozen will be dancing to Astor Piazzolla’s music ("Tango Etude" and "Oblivion") performed live by "The Free Spirits" of the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra as a part of theAmerican Dance Festival’s "Acts to Follow" series on Saturday June 30th, and at 8pm, at the Baldwin Auditorium, Duke University, East Campus. Tangophilia is pleased to offer a new series of Tango Fundamentals lessons on one more location in Memphis, TN, on Wednesdays from 7-8pm at Harbor of Health Wellness Center on Mud Island. This series will start June 7, 2006 and will run for 4 weeks. The Free Spirits Ensemble will join the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra in its 30thAnniversary Concert. The program will include an encore performance of “where colors play and hoodoos dance” by Lanette Lind, “Milonga in Ay Menor” and “A Don Nicanor Paredes” by Astor Piazzolla with Teresa Fernandez, soprano, and guest tango dancers Jason Laughlin and Cecilia Pagani. Irene Burke, flute; Jim Williams, clarinet; Yang Xi, viola; Jane Salemson, cello; Dan Zehr, double bass and, Lanette Lind, piano. Tonight’s Tangophilia Tradicional at Triangle Dance Studio will be DJ’d by Katia Singletary, recently returned from Buenos Aires, with snacks catered by John Singletary. As always, feel free to join the intro lesson at 8 if you’d like to review or warm up, and the dancing goes from 9pm-2am. Well, the very title of my blog reveals that penny stocks explore money. But they cannot explore your money until you invest in them and deal diligently with them. These stocks provide greater options for making heavy profits from them and because so, they are able to attract investors who invest in them primarily with the intention of making huge profits from them. This is going to be a lot more meaningful to you if you’ve got some kind of experience with programming. For the technically minded, one of the convenient things about tango is that you can debug iteratively. Your ability to take advantage of this depends a lot on how you choose to think about tango. Well, I’ve checked a few pages deep on Google for ”tango blog”and ”argentine tango blog”, and I appear to be the first and only. Lots of blogs mention tango once or twice, but aren’t using it as a primary focus. There are one or two sites that were started or referenced as tango blogs, but they’re effectively vaporware. And one site that uses blogging software to run an otherwise standard website, not a blog as such. Tangophilia Tradicional at Triangle Dance Studio will be DJ’d by Katia Singletary, recently returned from Buenos Aires, with snacks catered by John Singletary. As always, feel free to join the intro lesson at 8 if you’d like to review or warm up, and the dancing goes from 9pm-2am. Tomorrow night, Sunday, Oct 11, please come to the 30th Anniversary Concert of the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra. Jason Laughlin and Cecilia Pagani will be performing two works by Piazzolla along with soprano Teresa Fernandez, and the Free Spirits Ensemble. Details, including pricing, are below. One of the best things about dancing tango in Buenos Aires is the variety of “scenes” to choose from. If you go to Club Sunderland on a Saturday night, for instance, you’ll see that everyone is dancing in a close embrace and more than 75 couples may be crowded on the floor. Although some younger dancers go to Sunderland, most of the attendees at this milonga are over 50. Both the music and the dancing are firmly grounded in tradition. It would be totally inappropriate to open the embrace here or to lead moves like ganchos or boleos, which require more space. Rather, it’s best to relish the opportunity to dance on the same floor with—and in the same style as—these extraordinary dancers, many of whom have been dancing for decades. As I’ve pointed out in three earlier sets of Flickr album (shown here and here and here, I do not dance the tango, and I know little or nothing about its history, its folklore, or even its steps and rhythms. I’m vaguely aware that it originated in Argentina in the 1890s, that a new style known as "tango nuevo" began to emerge in the late 1990s, and that various actors and actresses — including Jessica Biel, Colin Firth, Antonio Banderas, Madonna, Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, among others — have performed the tango in various movies. But beyond that, it never really occurred to me that it played any significant role here in the U.S. Hello fellow dancers, I am a dancer currently writing a tango-related business plan, and I would appreciate your input. I am being asked to define my target market. Therefore, I need sources and/or primary information regarding demographics, especially attendance at festivals, workshops and grande milongas. For instance, how many dancers attend major festivals in the Unted States? What percentage stay at the hosting hotel and are walkins? If there are no sources, then would festival organizers be willing to share attendance figures for their events? And maybe even share some of the hopes, wishes and criticism of participants. No names please. Hopefully, these questions will give you an idea as to what kind of information is needed in a business plan. I thank you in advance for your input. The Tango Fusion Club founded in Munich, Germany in 2003 boasts the prominence of traditional tango music from Argentina mixed with modern electonic beats to a new and trendy sound mix. Come and feel the glowing passion in a cool club ambiance whether you´re dancing in two, single or you just like listening and watching. |
