HI Tangueros.

Thanks to those who came to the milonga with Emiliano Fernandez and especially those who answered my feedback form about the lesson. This really helps me to focus the offerings from Libertango.

We will be having our first Sunday night Milonga Malena at Grand Daddy this Sunday 26th May (see below). The venue is on the foreshore side of Long Street and not to be confused with Daddy Long Legs. It is a slick and upmarket venue, perfect for a Sunday night tango, an energiser to start the week. Milonga Malena will run every second Sunday night, alternating with Calvin's Sunday milonga at Que Pasa in Caledon Street.

The era of Tuesday night practicas at Friedas on Bree has come to a close. We had some wonderful times in the last 18 months since we have been there. Thanks to all of those who made Friedas happen.

I have had quite a few requests to start up a Level 3 course again but I need a couple more men. Are you a Level 3 man? - been dancing at least for one year in lessons and socials. Perhaps you have been dancing a while and want to get some fresh tango insights.

Hi Tangueros

Thanks to those who came to Milonga Africana on Friday. We had a great time. Once again, I was impressed to see some new people. Thank you to our Cape Town tangueros for being so open and welcoming. I was also happy to see so many people at the premilonga lesson. At these lessons we focus on fundamental technique for the Level 2s (post-beginners). We worked on an interesting sacada which I saw was rapidly incorporated into the dancing!

It seems like Rhapsodys has closed indefinately so I am looking for another venue for the milonga on alternative Tuesdays. In the meantime, we will be continuing with tango at Friedas on Bree every second Tuesday. Friedas has a uniquely cosy atmosphere with a bohemian flair reminiscent of the famous La Catedral in Buenos Aires.  Practising is really the only way to develop your confidence as a dancer so I do encourage students to take advantage of the tango social events around Cape Town

Venue: Observatory Community Centre, Corner Collingwood and Rawson Roads, Observatory - FREE SECURE PARKING.

Cost: R500 per person

Tango Level 2

Due to the high demand I have two Level 2 classes running on a Thursday. There is space available in the class which runs from 7:55 to 9:00 pm. I continue to work on fundamental tango technique learned during my stay in Buenos Aires and introduce students to more movements. The most important goal at this level is to develop confidence and fluidity. For more about my teaching please visit: http://www.libertango.co.za/more-about-rachael.html

Hi Tangueros

I am looking forard to seeing you next Saturday night 15 December for a dance with the Cape Town Tango Ensemble. We will be lucky to be listening to a slightly different version of the ensemble with a saxophonist. Bring your friends for a free beginners lesson and take advantage of this beautful event which will be supporting Nazareth House in Cape Town.

Please note that Tango Rhapsody on Tuesday will be shifted a half hour forward to start at 6:30 pm.

To Embrace - Open or Closed?
There is no open or closed embrace. There is only tango

There are many opinions about the embrace in the tango. What shape should it take? How strong should it be? Should it be open or closed?  I do believe that the embrace is the most fundamental element of the tango, along with a desire to appreciate the music that we are dancing to. "Embracar, Escuchar, Bailar" Embrace, listen, dance". This is the path to the blissful experience that the tango offers.

I have experienced dancing in different embraces and the embrace I choose to dance is this one: See more

Libertango is excited to announce that two wonderful teachers and performers will be visiting our shores in February. Murat and and Elif are two of Turkey's top tango dancers.

Hi Tangueros
I hope to see you at iKhaya Lodge on Friday 23rd November for Milonga Africana. Take advantage of the free pre-milonga lesson  which is aimed at a Level 2/ post beginners level but would benefit anyone who is hoping to add to their repertoire and enhance their tango flavour.  In the meantime, enjoy all the tango learning opportunities out there and make your tango as smooth, senual and enjoyable as it can be. In this newsletter, read an interview with Lizelle Steyn who recently became Libertango's first female lead graduate.

A Leading Woman: Lizelle Steyn

Last week Libertango's first female lead graduate, Lizelle Steyn, completed the tango beginners course. Lizelle is pictured above with Ranmalee Gamage from Sri Lanka. Lizelle has been dancing tango as a follower for many years and decided to learn about the other side of tango. It is not uncommon for experienced followers to be interested in the lead. I asked Lizelle a few questions about her experience in learning the lead.

1.       Why did you decide to learn the lead?

Firstly, learning to lead the tango has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to "play the man". For me, it is about taking responsibility for the choreography of the dance, as well as getting a better understanding of the "mechanics" at play. Read More

Hi Tangueros

Thanks to those to came to the festive evening at Rhapsodys on Tuesday. Hope to see you at the Milonga Africana tonight. Take advantage of the free premilonga lesson!

See below a message from Christy Cote about her lesson in follower technique next Saturday:

Hello Cape Town tangueros,
 
I'm thrilled to be visiting your amazing (I've heard) country and to have the opportunity meet you all.  Rachel's invitation to teach my favorite subject, follower's technique, has made it that much more special!
 
Some of you may know me thru my instruction DVDs with partner, George Garcia,  produced and distributed by Dance Vision.  I invite you to read my bio and visit my webpage at www.christycote.com.    Assisting me with the workshop will be Eugene Theron.   Eugene has studied tango with me for the past 3 years and has become an accomplished dancer.    Eugene is originally from South Africa but lives in the San Francisco area.
 
I believe the follower's roll is equally as important as the leader's.  It requires the follower to do her 50% in this unique communication known as tango.    This workshop will explore several different areas to help empower you in the follower's roll including understanding the detailed technique for various elements (including ochos, ocho cortado, molinetes, spiral cross,  barridas, enganches & volcadas),  musicality & embellishing, and embrace and attitude.  We will use across the floor & barre exercises as well as partner work (2 followers together) to reinforce technique.   Leader's are welcome and can benefit from gaining better understanding of the follower's roll.   All levels can benefit and are welcome.
 

I look forward to meeting you all in Cape Town!   A big thank you to Rachel for her gracious invitation.
 
Abrazos from San Francisco,
Christy

Hi Tangueros

In Buenos Aires that the moment it is the Tango Mundial - a big dance festival and tango competition. The city is packed with tango tourists from across the globe. Take a look at what's going on: http://www.tangobuenosaires.gob.ar/festivalymundial/web/en/index.html. For those of you who really want to get to the heart of Argentine tango, I suggest a pilgrimage to Buenos Aires. Unfortunately it is not so convenient any more because we have to go via Joburg but still worth the trip.

Back in Cape Town, I am looking forward to dancing with the Cape Town Tango Ensemble on Saturday 8 September at iKhaya Lodge. The ensemble was nominated for a SA Music Award last year and they will be playing their well known and some new tunes. Bring along your friends to the beginners lesson.
