Counter action
Just finished a series of workshops with the wonderful couple of Esteban and Evelyn over the weekend. I was quite fortunate this year because I was able to attend at least half of their classes, having missed out the first half of their stay in Singapore since I was overseas last week. In fact, I was also away last year because of another conference at about the same time in Canada.
The long road
Had just bought another 9 CDs to add to my not-so-small Tango collection recently. As a result, decided once again to seriously explore various options for digitising my collection. There are two main reasons for doing this: weight, and ease of access and search. After all, having to cart around about 50~60 CDs is no mean feat! 🙂
Adding flames
In an attempt to add more spice and hopefully improve my Tango, decided to try out Flamenco. Well, it was either this or tap dance, as is practised by Pablo Veron, of The Tango Lesson fame. 🙂
Responsibility
From time to time, I hear ‘complaints’ (both in person and discussions on the Tango-L list) about visiting Tango teachers’ teaching methods as they run a series of workshops during their short stays. These can range from techniques, styles, choice of words, the embrace (open or close), etc. Inevitably, there are concerns that people are not getting the ‘real deal’, or the new material have not been explained clearly enough?
