We are happy to once again participate in National Dance Week 2007 for the 9th consecutive year!
NDW means one week of 300 FREE dance events, classes, rehearsals, performances, etc. all over the Bay Area! It is your chance to try out a dance style, discover the work of a choreographer or dance company or find out about other kinds of movement education.
It is an honor to continue offering these events to the community. Please, find the Intimate Embrace Tango program for NDW 2007 below. For all the listings you can go online at www.bayareandw.org or pick up a special NDW newspaper at the dance studios throughout the Bay Area or in the Bay Guardian.
I hope you will take advantage of this wonderful week of dance. Please, note that if you take one of the Free Pre-Beginner Tango workshops during NDW it will serve as the pre-requisite for further Tango study with me in the follow up technique classes this May 2007.
Also come visit our Tango Revolution the next 2 Sundays with a special Tango movie, introductory Tango class, live music during the Tango social dance and a special organic dinner by Radio Afrika and Kitchen(4/22)
