Tango Course, Fabiàn Salas, Number One of Argentine Tango Teachers at La Rogaia, May 21 to 28, 2011

April 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Fabián Salas and Lola Díaz will be back again at Villa La Rogaia. La Rogaia is one of the few places in Europe, where they give a workshop in 2011.

About Fabián Salas:
Sometimes when you speak about one of the great masters of Argentine Tango, you take it for granted, that everybody already knows everything about them.
Maybe though it does make sense to tell a little about Fabian Salas.

During its “Golden Age” , Tango  had been danced everywhere in Buenos Aires und you learned to dance Tango watching your parents or other dancers from your town quarter.
This happened completely naturally. Everybody watched and imitated the good dancers …and practiced. Oppurtunities to do so you found everywhere. Nobody had to think about teaching methods or didactics.
Fast forward to the 80ies. After the end of military dictatorship in Argentina the Tango scene has changed completely. Only a few dancers remain who have lived in the Golden Age and can pass on their knowledge. Most of them are excellent dancers, but have never wasted a thought on how to teach Tango efficiently.
A group of young dancers around Fabian Salas and Gustavo Naveira now tries to figure out, how the old milongueros danced.  They try to get a profound understanding how the movements and dynamics of the dance work and develop for the first time a didactically based teaching method. This method until today has a big impact on all Tango dancers, no matter whether they dance traditional Tango or Tango Nuevo.
But they do not stop at that point. With their profound knowledge of the dynamics of Tango they break with old, sometimes rigid conventions and develop a new way of dancing Tango, more open, more fluent. And they start to dance to music, which hasn´t been considered dancable until then, for example the music of Astor Piazzola.
Fabián Salas becomes world famous as one of the main characters of Sally Potter´s world famous Tango movie “The Tango Lesson”  , together with Gustavo Naveira and Pablo Veron.    

To learn from Fabián Salas and Lola Diaz in a small, intimate group with a maximum of eight couples is more than simply taking Tango lessons. It is a unique opportunity one is not offered very often.
Fabiàn is a teaching genius and explains everything using his step by step teaching method.    

This workshop will improve participants theoretical understanding of Argentine Tango and will bring their Tango dancing abilities to a superior level within one week.
Participants of Fabiàns Argentine Tango lessons are regularly astonished, realizing they learn to perform even complicated movements and sequences with ease.
                                                                                                                                                                    Professional tango  teachers will take home tons of fresh ideas to improve their teaching methods.  Tango teachers who worked already with Fabiàn Salas say,  they definitely  noticed the difference in their teaching. And what was even more important, their students  noticed and appreciated it as well!  There is no need  to explain what this means for your sucess as a teacher.  
                                           
Fabiàn Salas is one of the worlds most renowned Tango teachers and the participants of the Argentine Tango class at Villa La Rogaia will profit from his personal tuition.

This Tango class is for Tango dancers who have already a decent experience dancing and  probably teaching Argentine Tango.
These dancers know also, that the small group at Villa La Rogaia is almost like a private class. Yet participants pay only a fraction of the price they´d normally pay for a private class with Fabiàn and Lola.
For those who want to perform on stage, at milongas or for your friends and their own students, Fabiàn and Lola will help out and explain how to do this best.
They will be around almost all day at La Rogaia as well as during dinner and evening milongas. That means participants have the chance to ask them even outside of the official lessons
Many tango dancers are tired of wasting their money at big festivals where they can watch the famous teachers only from afar and a "small" group consists of 20 couples or more. Those who made the same experience and realized finally that they hardly profit from those "classes", will love the intimate setting at La Rogaia. They will appreciate that the teachers  have all the time of the world and love to help them to bring their Tango dancing to a superior level.
About Lola Díaz:
Often the partners of famous tango teachers are mere assistants. Fantastic dancers to show the steps but not so good at explaining. You definitely can´t say this about Lola Díaz. Though it is obvious that Fabiàn Salas is one of the most famous teachers in the world and the better known of these two, Lola is a dancer and teacher in her own right. She has profound knowledge of Argentine Tango and imparts that knowledge with a lot of patience and in the most sympathetic way one can imagine.

The Argentine Tango workshop with Fabiàn Salas is a unique opportunity to learn Tango Nuevo from one of its founders.  Places are limited to only eight  couples.
