Free Seminar for Women and In-Depth Clinic for Men

I am delighted to announce that Liber and Rosa Solsona have invited me back to Lake Worth do a Seminar for WOMEN. I'm calling it "Secrets of a Happy Tanguera", and it's about how to more thoroughly enjoy your tangolife. It will include an introduction to my 100% Failproof Formula for Enjoying Every Milonga You Attend! . . . plus an overview of "The Tangueras' 14 Deadly Errors - how to identify yours and correct them so you'll have dozens of great tangueros lining up to dance with you". ;)

The date is Saturday, March 14, from 7:30-9:00 PM just before Liber and Rosa's Lake Worth Milonga (address below). They have so kindly cancelled their class for one day to give me time to talk to the women. This seminar will be free of charge for tangueras of every level, and all tangueras are welcome. But you must register if you want to attend.

On the same day, Saturday March 14, from 6:00-7:30 PM, I am inviting a limited number of MEN to participate in a special practical clinic that will be the initial hands-on follow-up to my December 6, 2008 Seminar for Men "The Tangueros' 14 Deadly Errors". Here we will start eliminating the errors, one-by-one, with plenty of individual attention!

This Men's Clinic will be the first program on the calendar of the new "El Guapo Tanguero Inner Circle", a hand-picked group of very motivated men, who are determined to be the next generation of the best tangueros of Florida! The March 14 Clinic participants will become the Charter Members of "El Guapo Tanguero Inner Circle", who will have available to them various programs aimed at the ambitious goal of becoming the best they can be.

Here are men's registration guidelines:

1) The first people who may register will be the men who attended the December 6 Seminar. This time I will ask you to bring a partner to help us out in the clinic. (If you need help, we will find you a partner.) For about a week, I will limit registration to just that list of men.

2) When the time is up, I will open registration to all the men who have participated in my online surveys. I have an accurate list of your names, so you don't have to worry that someone is unfairly using your privilege.

3) And after a week, I will offer any remaining spots to other men in the community who are recommended by the women and men who attended the December 6 Seminar. There will be a charge for the Men's Clinic, but it will be free for the women who get invited to help their friends and companions. Then you can stay for the tangueras' seminar, and finally we'll dance at Liber and Rosa's milonga.

I will publish the link to the men's registration page tomorrow!

Dancepartner.com for Tangueros and Tangueras

In my previous survey to the Florida tango community, where I asked the question “What is the one biggest issue in your Tango life?”, many responses had to do with not having a partner with whom to practice, or adequate partners with whom to enjoy dancing at milongas. Frustrations about partners came up in earlier surveys as well.

Sometimes, part of the partner problem may lie with you, and I will write more about this soon, because I can give you some pointers to help you overcome some frustrating issues.

But sometimes, we just need to meet new people; I have seen it make all the difference in the world to dozens of my students in Italy, and even in my own experience, when we start dancing with people we have never met before.

When I was living in Italy and thinking about moving back to the US, I knew I’d want a new professional partner, or several that I could call on for work, and for my own dancing pleasure. Since there was at least an ocean between where I was and US milongas, I joined the membership site, DancePartner.com about a year and a half ago. I’ve been getting great results from my subscription! It’s not only for professionals; there are many more amateurs listed – people who want just a dance partner, as well as people who are looking for a relationship with another dance 'apasionado'.

Through DancePartner.com I’ve met a few interesting potential partners around North America whom I know I can either call on for work or dance with for fun when I’m in their part of the country. While DancePartner.com hasn’t yet led me to THE dance partner I’d want to work with full time, I see it as just one very interesting and well-run resource for potential partners. But I continue to enjoy the way that through this service, doors keep opening gradually and steadily. I’ll tell you how I manage that, in the attached guide. For now there are many more amateur Argentine Tango dancers than professionals on Dancepartner.com, so joining could even be more fruitful for you than it is for me.
