For a long time Fabián Salas didn´t  make any teaching tours  outside of Argentina and has been missed badly by his fans and students in Europe

La Rogaia is one of the few places in Europe, where he will give a workshop in 2010.

About Fabián Salas:

Sometimes when you speak about one of the great masters of Argentine Tango, you take it for granted, that everybody already knows everything about them.

Maybe though it does make sense to tell alittle about Fabian Salas.

During the Golden Age of Tango, Tango had been danced everywhere in Buenos Aires und you learned to dance Tango watching your parents or other dancers from your town quarter.

This happened completely naturally. Everybody watched and imitated the good dancers …and practiced. Oppurtunities to do so you found everywhere. Nobody had to think about teaching methods or didactics.

Fast forward to the 80ies. After the end of military dictatorship in Argentina the Tango scene has changed completely. Only a few dancers remain who have lived in the Golden Age and can pass on their knowledge. Most of them are excellent dancers, but have never wasted a thought on how to teach Tango efficiently.

A group of young dancers around Fabian Salas and Gustavo Naveira now tries to figure out, how the old milongueros danced.  They try to get a profound understanding how the movements and dynamics of the dance work and develop for the first time a didactically based teaching method. This method until today has a big impact on all Tango dancers, no matter whether they dance traditional Tango or Tango Nuevo.

But they do not stop at that point. With their profound knowledge of the dynamics of Tango they break with old, sometimes rigid conventions and develop a new way of dancing Tango, more open, more fluent. And they start to dance to music, which hasn´t been considered dancable until then, for example the music of Astor Piazzola.

Fabián Salas becomes world famous as one of the main characters of Sally Potter´s world famous Tango movie “The Tango Lesson”  , together with Gustavo Naveira and Pablo Veron.

To learn from Fabián Salas and Lola Diaz in a small, intimate group with a maximum of eight couples is more than simply taking Tango lessons. It is a unique privilege you are not offered very often.

Do you want to take your Tango dancing to a superior level ?

Do you want to improve your teaching methods to to give your students the best teaching  and hence become a more thought after Tango teacher?

Do you want to receive tuition almost like in a private class, instead of merely seeing the big name teachers from afar in one of the big festivals

Than this advanced  workshop with Fabián and Lola is a must for you…

 

This is a unique opportunity to learn Tango Nuevo from one of its founders.  Places are limited to only eight couples. Do not hesitate with your reservation.
