Whats New
1. Andrea Uchitel Coming to South Africa
Andrea Uchitel is coming to Johannesburg!
Meet
her unique blending of the close embrace she learned from the old
milongueros like Carlos Gavito with tools and experience from body
awareness techniques and improvisation
dance. Andrea teaches in Buenos Aires, France, Germany, Holland,
Canada, Mexico, etc.
She combines sensorial, anatomical and kinetic information
to explore the use of the body while dancing a tango where technical
facets are strongly connected with the essence and the
beauty of social dance.
She
will be visiting Johannesburg in February offering a series of group
classes and private sessions. Don't miss the opportunity!
You may see videos of her at the following links https://www.youtube.com/embed/EDWM3LShMbI
Thursday 2nd, 8-10pm: Guided Practica
A bit of Buenos Aires in La Casa del Tango, Johannesburg!
We meet to know each other and dance. Come to share your questions and Tango curiosity.
* For everyone. Entrance: R 50.
Saturday 4th / Sunday 5th February – Intensive Weekend Workshops
SATURDAY 4th
Workshop 1: 2pm – Tango Embrace Dynamics
From the open embrace to the closed one (milonguero) with body awareness.
A series of exercises to develop consciousness and communication into
the embrace. Specific work on the use of arms, torso and head.
Workshop 2: 4pm - Walking Orchestras
Somebody that dances, essentially listen.
Gaining a grasp of the music, listening to and interpreting. A selection
of tangos from different orchestras to explore musical tools and build
up the dance expressively, finding its particularity... This is about
fluid melodic walk, or a rhythmical one, sometimes
interrupted by a cadencia, a silence or an accent we hear on the
singer, the violins or on the bandoneon...The richness of tango!
SUNDAY 5th
Workshop 3: 2pm - The Action of Following - The Dialogue Made of two
Leading and following are part of the same action to build the unison
and the totality sensation when dancing. Technique and exercises to
train and deepen connexion. Leader and follower, autonomous and
together, in an intimate agreement, build the dance and
become more accomplices in the embrace.
Workshop 4: 4pm - Diagonals and Spirals. Lots of Energy!
Antagonisms and dynamic contrapositions as generators and energy for
cross relation, ochos, pivots, turns.... the beauty and sensuality of
the dance.
* For all levels. People can attend just for one workshop. No need to come with a partner. Bring comfortable shoes.
Cost: 1 workshop: R 200; 2 workshops: R300; 4 workshops: R500.
4 GROUP LESSONS – MONDAY 6th & 13th - THURSDAY 9th & 16th
Fundamentals of the Embrace - Tango Training
8 pm - Beginners
Fundamentals of tango embrace, first elements that get straight to the heart of the dance.
9 pm - Intermediate

* People can attend just for one lesson. No need to come with a partner. Bring comfortable shoes.
Cost: 1 lesson: 150 rand; 2 lessons: 250 rand; 4 lessons: 400 rand
PRIVATE LESSONS – Individual (both roles) or couples.
These personal encounters are very effective and profound. It is the
opportunity to work in a deep and specific way on each one's particular
problems.
We work to polish the technique and those postural bad habits that are
characteristically individual and that, when dancing, generate motor
difficulties and unnecessary tension, and even pains in neck, back,
arms, feet... We work to rearrange discomforts, integrate
and make the whole body available in the embrace for the dance
connexion while we review and incorporate new tango movements, steps and
sequences, enriching body's awareness and dance. Schedule your own
lesson!
Cost: 1 class: R 550; 4 classes: R 1600.

Progressive Tango Class for Couples at the Factory on Grant
Hi, Tango friends and lovers.
Beginning Thursday the 2nd of February we will start
a Progressive Tango class for couples at The Factory on Grant.
DETAILS:
1) The class will run from 6:30pm to 7:30pm on Thursday nights – beginning Thursday the 2nd of February.
2) Price is R800 per couple per month – no “drop-ins” permitted.
3) Practica will run from 7:30pm to 9:30pm
4) Those attending the class can join the Practica at no extra cost – otherwise the
Practica is R50 per person.
5) The Factory on Grant – No. 72 corner of Grant Ave. & Nellie Street, Norwood.
6) e-mail: touch@tango-tensity to book for this class
Our Friday night Classes at The Factory on Grant (Afro-Tango Nights) is a good way to introduce new-comers to the Tango.
Bring your friends along to these so they can get a taste of what Tango is all about…
Enjoy our Afro-Tango social afterwards with a delicious meal off The Factory on Grant’s menu, while
dancing to a mix of Tango, Bachata and Kizomba.
As we get new people joining us every Friday night for these classes –
it has not been a progressive class. We keep going back to the beginning
for the new-comers.
And so, we have decided to start a Progressive class for couples. Once the class starts on the 2nd of February, we will not be going back to the beginning - so
each week we will build on what we did the week before.
We would also insist that this is a class for couples (man – woman or
man – man or woman – woman… we are not concerned about how you make up
your couple) as
“It takes two to Tango”. A single person on the class
doesn’t get fair value for their time and money – and it is unfair to
break up a couple to accommodate a single person.
After the class we will run a Practica (practice
session for all to come dance and practice what they have been
learning). This will be open to everybody – even those not attending the
class.
If you would like to join us for this class please e-mail us at this e-mail address (touch@tango-tensity.co.za)
to book your place on this class.
If you have any questions about this class – or anything else - please feel free to e-mail us on the same e-mail address.
Lerato and I look forward to this class and hope we see you on the dance floor soon.

2. There is now a newly-created Tango calendar for everything happening in Cape Town:
http://www.tangocapetown.com/
The idea is
that it's a non-partisan source that offers a comprehensive and easy
overview - all classes and events, updated frequently, as accurately as
possible.
There also a page with contact details for all the local organisers and
teachers, links to their sites, and a google map with all the Tango
locations pinned, to help the local community and visitors.
Argentine tango is danced in other cities throughout South Africa.
Details are published in the Tangojoburg website.
This website tangojoburg.co.za offers information about Argentine tango events in the greater Johannesburg area.
The site includes information about teachers, milongas and practicas. It
also offers general information about tango in other parts of South
Africa and a gives a hint of some of the other dance opportunities in
the greater Gauteng area.
It is administered by tango lovers in the area.
