HOW TO REGISTER: see below
After her workshops in Tallahassee, (http://www.facebook.com/notes/tango-at-el-laguito/mimi-santapa-workshops-july-1-3-at-el-laguito/208274785884268), Mimi Santapa, a world renowned tango educator and friend of Florida, will be with us in Gainesville on Saturday, July 9, 2011. We have five one hour slots available between 1pm-6pm to do the following:
Mimi will teach any tango-related topic you desire her to teach for an hour to a group of one or more attendees. The topics include but are not limited to:
- The anatomy of a performance
- Mimi’s concept of tango structure (posture, axis, elegance)
- Exercises to develop good posture
- How to do ochos with elegance
- Lapiz and enrosque
- Develop strength in your giros
- How to walk with elegance
- Elements of axis, force and energy
- Characteristics of tango, vals, milonga
- Use of cruzadas and double time
- Dancing an organic calecita + variations
- How to develop relaxation in the body and shoulders
- Introduction to tango
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Since possible topics are many, we decided to offer you the way to design your own workshop (pick one topic from the list above or add your own), reserve an hour (between 1 and 6 pm starting on full hour), recruit a group of like-minded (or not), and let us know what you want by posting a response to this event (or, less preferably, by messaging Dubravko Kakarigi). In case your desired time slot is already taken, find another – act quickly for best choices.
HOW MUCH?
Groups of 1-6 attendees: $100/hour for the group; $15/hour for each additional attendee.
HOW TO REGISTER?
We trust that by announcing your desired study hour with Mimi you will honor it if we can offer it to you. No additional formalities are needed.
Mimi will be with us at the milonga – we hope we will see her dancing a demo or two.
