Hola Tango Friends!
You are warmly invited to join us for a very special tango adventure: Our TangoIntensivo™ 2010 Sessions with Luciana Valle & Dance of the Heart (Brian Dunn & Deborah Sclar)!
 Luciana Valle |
IF YOU ARE.......
We are looking for a special group of dancers who want to pursue tango mastery in a new & different way. Join us for 6 days of intensive study in Buenos Aires. Work intensively on your tango with a gender-balanced group of fellow students & carefully trained Assistants under the guidance & direction of world-class tango teacher LUCIANA VALLE, one of the most talented, insightful & energetic tango teachers Buenos Aires has produced. We first started working with Luciana (a.k.a. "Hurricane Lucy") twelve years ago, and ever since she has been a touchstone for our study of the tango experience. Her warm enthusiasm, penetrating insight into tango structure and dynamics, and deep skill and experience at dancing both the leader and follower roles has brought her well-deserved intercontinental fame in the world of tango. |

ASSURED QUALITY THROUGH LIMITED ENROLLMENT: (staff/student ratio better than 1:1!!)
This makes our program VERY DIFFERENT from any tango training experience you are likely to have had already. People often don't quite digest the implication of this at first, according to our feedback, so let's repeat it, just to make that very clear: you only dance with your fellow students AFTER-HOURS, if at all!! During the program, ALL YOUR PARTNERS ARE FROM OUR STAFF. Our TangoIntensivo(tm) Assistants are selected from among the many talented dancers working with Luciana in Buenos Aires through her acclaimed "El Motivo" practica & school. All of them are active social dancers in the Buenos Aires tango scene, and many have professional tango careers of their own. This provides you with the opportunity to focus on YOUR learning process rather than navigating through the difficulties that can often arise when your usual partner or a fellow student is also struggling with you. REPEAT CUSTOMERS ARE THE BEST TESTIMONIAL From February 2005 through August 2010, we've held twenty-five of these week-long sessions, and our list of satisfied students continues to grow. We're very flattered that, despite the cost of airfares from the USA and multiple other tango travel options to choose from, we get an incredible amount of repeat business. Out of the twenty-five programs we've offered, seventy-nine people joined us two or more times, with twenty-six people taking three or more programs, and ten people taking four or more programs out of twenty-five!! PEERLESS TANGO TRAVEL ADVICE Your tuition pays for your classes and your partners - you'll arrange your own airfare, meals and accommodations - but over the years we've developed (and kept updated) a treasure trove of valuable information we share with registered students about securing good solutions to these travel problems! (Some of our students have urged us to publish this treasure trove separately - but right now it's still an exclusive benefit of your registration!) |
See below for some pictures from our recent classes, plus testimonials from some of our students:

Student comments from previous TangoIntensivo™ Sessions (Twenty-one week-long sessions
since February 2005):|
"It was a breakthrough week for me. It allowed me to develop a very deep understanding of tango & has given me a solid base from which to catapult my dancing to the next level. You guys put together a great program with Luciana. I plan on returning...I took out a Chicho video last night & all of a sudden...I could see everything he was doing." |
|
“I’ve taken intensive tango workshops all over the world from all the best…this was the absolute best workshop experience I’ve ever had!”
|
| "These sessions are an incredible experience of deep systematic structural exploration in tango, combined with the opportunity to work closely in partnership with an absolutely fantastic group of followers...rotating among them, experiencing their patience and welcoming smiles, really made the difficult parts much easier." |
|
"...what an AWESOME TangoIntensivo™ session...I feel privileged to be a part of this historical occasion...don't ask me why it feels that way, but what the 3 of you put together was just incredible. Especially wonderful was the opportunity to work with Argentine dancers [as followers], the meticulous care & timing with which all the classes were designed & the quality of the material offered."
|
|
"The program once again exceeded my expectations & again took me to a different level in my dance. There is nothing like this program & I continuously tell everyone I can that this is the program to take......there cannot be too much to say about the level of work that goes into developing this program. My hat goes off to Luciana, Brian & Deb to grow this program. I look forward to my continuing attendance..." |
|
"I really loved the program...Luciana's knowledge of the information is incredible...she did a superb job. Brian & Deb were unbelievable. I know you did so much behind the scenes...with such style & class it went unnoticed in a good way."
|
|
"Knowing as I came in each day that I was going to push my limits with such a beautiful group of followers to help me get there - so many treasured memories of so many wonderful dances." |
|
"...the challenge & joy of dancing with some very high level leads & feeling their musicality & the unexpected little plays they made during the dance, the high level of connection that they brought to the dance, the chance to really work more deeply with some of these ideas & techniques....also of course the clarity & specificity of Luciana's teaching & the way she dissects the structure of the dance. Luciana is always a stand out."
|
|
"...my embrace is more secure, masculine & dynamic." |
|
"Dancing with the guys in class, the musicality...is just so incredible feeling what this dance can be...working intensively with Luciana, getting the clarity & depth of understanding & passion that she brings to it."
|
|
"Other than of course Luciana & dancing with the guys, I would say (the best part of this experience for me was) feeling my body waking up again....it has been a while since I have felt that total satisfaction of dancing. I want more!" |
LIMITED ENROLLMENT for MAXIMUM BENEFIT!
Session A and Session B are independent programs. You DO NOT need to take "A" before "B". Take them in any order! Each one covers different subjects. In general, "A" has more on-axis material than "B", and "B" has more off-axis material than "A". If you HAVE to choose, some say "B" is slightly more difficult than "A" for most people.
For maximum benefit, take both programs ( imagine fifty hours of peerless tango training experience in two weeks!), but you can also take either one alone.
Before registering, please read our
TangoIntensivo™ Session Agreement and Waiver, available here.
