[Tango] Fwd: Free tango lesson and music jam with Homer and Christina Ladas

[Lois Donnay]

Hello Everyone,

In addition to the workshops with Homer and Christina Ladas coming up this
weekend, we've got a special event planned at the University of Minnesota.
 The event is centered around dancing to and playing live tango music.  If
you play a musical instrument or sing, come out and join us.  All dancers
welcome for the class and to dance during the tango jam.

Tango Music Jam and Dance Class Event
Free and open to the public

When: Monday, March 23.
Class 4:30-6pm
Jam 7-9pm.
Free catered food and practice/social time between events.
Where:  "The Whole" at Coffman Memorial Union (basement level), East Bank
campus of the U of MN, 300 Washington Ave SE, Minneapolis MN 55445.

More info:  The tango class topic is "Selective Hearing" - Sorting out and
emphasizing 4 categories of musical expression we most often use in tango
including rhythm, melody, transitions, and lyrics.

The music jam will start at 7pm. This is a 2-hour free session where all
interested folks can gather to play music or listen to musician’s learn how
to play and interpret mostly rhythmic tango music (from various orchestras
of the Golden Age).  Spectators and non-musicians are welcome to attend and
often benefit from watching. Feel free to get up and dance!  For general
