Modesto Tango Bulletin, June 18, 2018

Saturday Kenny Bell worked on milonga with the class.  Next week we will review the material he presented in the Saturday class. Joaquin Amenabar, world class tango musicologist, will come to Modesto on July 14. He has written the book, "Tango, Let's Dance to the Music" and has been doing workshops in the US and Europe. We do need a critical mass, so I would encourage you ALL to come and encourage someone else to come along.   His first class  : Basic units of tango rhythm. Simple, double and half-time step . When to use each one of these?  Second class: : Dancing the melody. Variations in tango depend on the melody which makes every tango different and gives the follower a completely different role . We learn the melodic rhythm as a system and how to dance with the melody.  Both classes are for all levels. It should be the very first class to take for somebody who wants to learn tango. It is also important for advance dancers that may dance the melody intuitively but do not know the rules of the melodic rhythm.    That evening, after the class with Amenabar, we will have a milonga at Fuzio - more information below.
