Story behind of "Power of Tango de Salon"

 

Written by Daisy, on 29-01-2010 10:43 One day, I called a dancer whom I didn’t see at the dance floor for a while, and she told me she still does not know how to dance after all the class she had taken, “I am so frustrated, I almost want to give up” she said in the phone. Unfortunately, she is not the only one who told me this. It’s sad to me, but it also reminds me of my hard time of learning Tango, especially the first year. When I started Tango on 2007, I was like most of Tango lovers, took group classes as much as I could. Of course, I didn’t get much dances at Practica or Milonga , just like other beginners, but things start to change after I took some Tango trips. So the second year, I started to try some advanced classes, (which I now understand it’s a general mistake, I should continue focus on real FOUNDAMANTALS instead).Anyway, I took more private classes with local teachers, visiting teachers and I am looking for the “miracle”. But turns out that I get more and more confused. I was frustrated just like other dancers, but I didn’t give up. Last year, I went to Buenos Aires twice, where Gustavo Lin introduced me Andres Laza Moreno. I took his classes almost everyday, we focused on FOUNDAMENTALS: my posture, my energy and connection. He was very clear, simple yet detailed. We practiced together till I’ll never get it wrong and he was always patient. I saw him teach an absolutely beginner from the moment she started to walk to him. An advanced dancer also told me “the more I took their classes, the less I like other teachers. I have no patience for too much talk when the others teach” . In Buenos Aires, I almost went to Milonga every night after Andres’s class, I could use everything I learn from him, quite often I received compliments from leaders at dance floor and that encouraged me to take more and more classes with Andres y Isabel. Since then, I really started to enjoy Tango. Now I understand a Master of Salon-style says: “The most difficult thing about dancing Tango are Tango FUNDAMENTALS. The difference between a very good dancer and another who is not very good is: Tango FUNDAMENTALS”.I know I still have a long way to go learning Tango, I want to be able to adapt to any style, and enjoy Tango all over the world! Is not that what we all want? Thanks to Tangotang inviting Andres y Isabel to Hong Kong, I truly appreciate it . Thanks to Desmond, the project manager who works so hard together with me , we do our best to set the price as low as we can , because we believe, a project with good quality doesn’t have to be expensive. Through this project, we wish more Tango lovers , especially those who have no chance to go to Buenos Aires, could learn real Tango from Andres y Isabel. Many thanks to Clarice who designed an almost perfect flayer for the project, and Nandia, who devoted so many hours for private class registration, as so far, 80% of total 83 private classes are booked. I wish that as many Tango lovers as possible would enjoy this workshop! Last update: 29-01-2010 18:14 Users' Comments (0) Comment language: English (0), 繁體中文 (0) Add your comment
