Last night in Tuesday classes Rafael danced with most of the
followers, and they got to feel his musicality.  Last night at the
party (what a party!) Rafael and I demonstrated dancing in a small
space - it was amazing!

SPECIAL CLASS #2 and 3! Wednesday, 6:30PM   Musicality and
Improvisation Rafael will show how he, as a jazz musician, can
parallel between jazz improvisation and the intimate "conversation" of
tango to become an integrated force in your dancing. We'll take some
steps and show how they can fit the right passage in the right music.

8:00 PM    DANCING ON A TILE: FLOORCRAFT!  In Buenos Aires the best
dancers are said to be able to "dance on a tile". Learn the tricks to
keep your dance small, your partner safe and happy, and the floor
moving.  In the crowded milongas of Buenos Aires, there is much more
to dancing than showing off dazzling patterns.  Small dance floors are
typical there and the ability to dance your best in a limited space is
truly the mark of an experienced milonguero.  We will refine and
experiment with our dancing to bring out the special elegance of true
Argentine tango as it is enjoyed socially in smaller dance spaces.
