In Sacramento: OSCAR MANDAGARAN & GEORGINA VARGAS RETURN MAY 7 Tango by the River, 128 J Street, Old Sacramento:
Oscar and Georgina are in that small, elite group of tango professionals who are both fabulous dancers AND fabulous teachers. This is not just their profession; it is their passion. They give from their hearts, whether they are performing on stage, dancing socially, or teaching new students. They teach those "secrets" of tango that really take their students' dance to another level. Excellent at pinpointing the exact issue that is causing a dancer trouble, they teach the underlying movements,and the technique, that makes any movement elegant and connected.
They will be teaching workshops the weekend of May 8 & 9, 2010, as follows:
Saturday, May 8, 2010
2:45 - 4:00 p.m. -- Tango Technique
4:30 - 5:45 p.m. -- Milonga
Sunday, May 9, 2010
2:45 - 4:00 p.m. -- Romantic Tango
4:30 - 5:45 p.m. -- Vals
Cost is $35 per workshop, 2 for $60
3 for $70, or ALL 4 for $75! The Best Deal!
ALSO -- NEW SEMI-PRIVATE LESSON!
Monday, May 10, 2010
7:00 - 8:15 p.m. Semi-Private Lesson
This 1 1/4 hour semi-private lesson is for intermediate/advanced couples only. The cost is $30 per person; there is a 5 couple limit; you must sign up as a couple (hence the price above is $60--you must pay for two people at a time).
This is an excellent way to get an (almost) private lesson with Oscar & Georgina for half the price of a private lesson! We will not rotate partners in class; this is why you must sign up and pay with your partner.
We tried this format the last time Oscar and Georgina were here, and it was very popular!
Oscar and Georgina are also available for private lessons for $110 an hour. Private lessons are available from May 7 through May 12. Contact the studio at info@rivertango.com to schedule.
