Newport News Immersion Seminar

"TRANSFORMING YOUR DANCE FROM THE INSIDE OUT" NEWPORT NEWS IMMERSION SEMINAR AUGUST 21-25, 2013 After three years doing our immersion seminar in Buenos Aires, we are happy to offer it in the U.S. for the first time. We couldn't ask for a better location, either: Newport News, Virginia, a gorgeous seaside destination, and in a welcoming venue hosted by two of the friendliest people we have met in 7 years of travel. We invite everyone to join us for five days of learning, laughing, hanging out at the beach and dancing into the night, and last but not least, focusing on the most important aspects of tango: *Body Awareness *Connection *Quality of Movement *Musicality *Floorcraft We will have 20 hours of intensive work dedicated to bringing your dance to the next level. Please note that we will *not* cover fancy steps and sequences in this seminar, but rather focus on building and refining your movement. Our goal is not to add figures to your dance but to add comfort, quality and expression. Techniques will be covered with sufficient detail to challenge students at all levels. REGISTRATION: *US$300/person includes the 20-hour seminar and one private lesson per 2 students. *Group limited to 20 students. *Payment is due in full upon registration. 80% refund until July 24, no refunds after that date unless we can find someone to take your spot (in which case we'll give you 100% refund) LODGING & TRANSPORTATION: * The Days Inn Hotel offers double-occupancy rooms at roughly $45/night. It's 0.8 miles from the seminar venue: http://www.daysinn.com/hotels/virginia/newport-news/days-inn-newport-news-oyster-point-at-city-center/rooms-rates?srcDestination=&partner_id=&srcBrand=&campaign_code=&checkout_date=08%2F26%2F2013&children=0&useWRPoints=false&ratePlan=BAR&teens=0&affiliate_id=&brand_code=BH%2CDI%2CRA%2CBU%2CHJ%2CKG%2CMT%2CSE%2CTL%2CWG%2CWY%2CPX%2CWT%2CWP%2CPN&iata=&adults=1&checkin_date=08%2F21%2F2013&rooms=1 * Very affordable bus transportation is affordable from several cities on the East Coast (sample round trip cost from New York City: $80) DETAILED DAILY PROGRAM: - 45 minutes of warm-up and individual technique - 1 hour, 15 minutes of partering technique (connection, possibilities) - 1 hour, 15 minutes of musicality, dynamics and floorcraft - 45 minutes of guided practica with specific assignments based on the day's work - a few hours dancing tango/swimming/hanging out on the beach and nightly dancing at La Tangueria!
