[MNDancers] WestTango -Tango and West Coast! Wednesdays

[Lois Donnay]

There is a new movement dedicated to combining West Coast Swing, Lindy,
Blues and Tango. Steve Lee and Lois Donnay are bringing this new dance to
the Twin Cities. Steve calls this Westtango. Sometimes called "swango", this
is a fusion between tango and the other dances commonly danced to the same
tempo music. Tango will bring passion to your West Coast Swing, and West
Coast Swing will bring playfulness to your tango!

Every week we will explore more possibilities. We will dance to "tango
Nuevo" music as well as traditional and blues, since West Coast dancers are
already familiar with it and have been dancing to it for some time. But
exploring the possibilities of music, plus dancing well to all music, will
be an important factor in the classes.

Unlike many of the teachers who are exploring this, Lois Donnay and Steve
Lee are very skilled at Argentine tango. Steve introduced Argentine tango to
the Twin Cities over 15 years ago, and Lois Donnay travels and teaches both
here and in Buenos Aires.

Wednesday, February 25th at 8:00 PM.  You need to have some experience with
both West Coast Swing and Tango for this class, but you don't have to be
expert at either one. We'll help you get there!  Cost: $75 for 5 classes, or
$20 each.


Class location: Old Arizona Studio
