TUESDAY
Sacramento - At Tango by the River, 128 J Street, Old Sacramento,
Tuesday Night Classes with Glenn Corteza!
For the month of June, San Francisco's Glenn Corteza will teach the classes with Donna Williams. Glenn specializes in musicality and connection. He is particularly good at teaching a comfortable and elegant tango, and has a flair for breaking down difficult concepts beautifully and ingeniously.
The prices for the Tuesday classes will be slightly more than usual for June only. The prices for the Tuesday classes in June will be $75 per person or $140 per couple
($20 drop-in per class). (3 hours a Tuesday) or 15 hours for only $75 —
The program for June:
Level I -- 6:30-7:30 p.m. -- The Rhythms of Tango - Tango is an improvisational dance and there is no set rhythm like salsa or swing. We will cover the four basic rhythms and show you how to easily improvise on your own on the first day.
Level II -- 7:30-8:30 p.m. -- Pivots and Turns - We will work on ochos and break it down into its smallest elements so you can finally learn to master this basic move. You will be able to do ochos on your own, learn to practice effectively to improve your balance and consistency so it becomes second nature when you go out dancing.
Level III -- 8:30-9:30 p.m. -- Listening to Music - Training your ear to hear different parts of the music to better inform your way of dancing. We will go over standard rhythms, melody, phrasing and the dynamics of floor craft.
Emeryville, Allegro Ballroom. 5855 Christie Ave., Nora Dinzelbacher teaching.
7:30-8:30 p.m.: Beginner Level $12
8:30-9:30 p.m.: Intermediate Level $12
