Workshop #4: |
We will use the material developed to explore a rhythmic way to dance tango. This will give a solid interpretation of the music of orchestras like Juan D'Arienzo, Rudolfo Biagi, Ricardo Tanturi, Edgardo Donato, and others. This will be a playful and fun way to dance tango. |

Location to be announced |
|
2:00 - 5:30 PM(includes 1/2 hr break) |
Workshop #5: |
This class will combine the material from the previous classes and add more possibilities for expression and navigation. We will develop ways to turn both to the left and to the right, allowing you to dance in the space you stand in. Turns are essential for navigation, and they are fun. The workshop will culminate with exploring the musicality of turns, particularly with respect to the uses of pauses and suspension, thus expanding the possibilities for interpreting the music. |

ABOUT ROBERT
Robert Hauk has been dancing tango for over 10 years. He has spent significant time in the milongas of Buenos Aires and has earned the respect of the milongueros. He has studied extensively with Susana Miller for over 8 years and is recognized as one of the leading American instructors of the close embrace milonguero style, having been invited repeatedly to teach at tango festivals and workshop weekends throughout the US. His teaching success is evident in his impact on the growth of his home tango community – Portland, Oregon – one of the largest and most highly skilled tango communities in the US.
Robert's expertise in teaching is in making his extensive knowledge of tango accessible to students. The practical material you learn in his classes is readily transferred to the milonga dance floor. Many tango students who have studied with Robert have noticed their social tango skills improve significantly in a short time. This is why he is invited repeatedly to teach in the same communities.
Robert is also an excellent DJ, knowing how to judge the flow of energy and emotions throughout the course of a milonga and apply the right music to the moment. Thus is why Robert is also a regular invited DJ at tango festivals.
