Two to Tango - Check on 25 August 07! Adult Education Tasmania will be offering a beginners class in traditional Tango – a gentle, intimate, exciting form of dance. Tango is also a social dance, and can help to improve co-ordination, balance and relaxation. What your course will cover: Balance exercises; Milonga Etiquette; Basic Steps; Change of directions; Pivots, leading and following; Tango resolution and finishes. What you can hope to achieve: Learn basic steps and gain an understanding and love for the music and movement of the Tango. Physical benefits of dancing the Tango include that it utilises nearly all the muscles of the body and is therefore an amazing workout. It improves posture, co-ordination and balance, and is relaxing, thus reducing stress. It is also a wonderful way to reconnect with other like-minded people in a fun, friendly, healthy environment.

The Northern Club has kindly offered their inviting space – an aristocratic home like venue has a very pleasant bar with leather lounges, wood fire, Tango music, great floor and much more. The practicas are every Wednesday at  7PM at the Northern Club @ 5/61 Cameron Street, Launceston. There is no fee for the practica.

Please note that Wednesday evening supervised practica is by invitation only to ensure maximum benefit for more advanced dancers.

Tango & Yoga: A sweaty little tango parlor can become a sacred space where one can dance through memories and karma. GOSWAMI KRIYANANDA, founder of the Temple of Kriya Yoga on Chicago's west side, says that Westerners go through life with insatiable appetites, spawned by our ego desires, and as a result, true nourishment eludes us. He encourages pratyabara (sense withdrawal), and urges detachment from desire through practicing pranayama, mantra, and yoga. But I find disengaging from the physical body a frustrating if not futile process. Instead, I have found another technique to liberate the soul: tango. Chicago-based writer and hatha teacher Deirdre Guthrie's diet for metaphysical health consists of ample doses of yoga and tango.

What is 'Tangolates'?? Is a new revolutionary apparatus and system of exercises that combines the best of Tango with the best of core control movements in a sequence of fun partner exercises specially choreographed to the music of Tango. Both apparatus and its mode of use (method) originated at the rehabilitation ward of the largest public hospital in Buenos Aires. This rehabilitation ward is regularly visited by patients with degenerative motor system dysfunctions, who find it easier to work in couples with an instructor next to them.  It takes two to Tango: The first partner exercises proved to be a real success. Later on, the Tango music was added. Soon, a new venue had started. The T-DiTella™ Tangolates™ proved to be not only effective but also lots of fun for regular clients of all ages who wish to perform new and versatile routines that are more dynamic and effective.
