Tango is a dance style that was created by mixing steps from three different dance styles – Cuban habanera, Uruguayan candombe and milonga. This dance is performed on the beats of tango music, which is believed to have beats of European music and African tempo. Later, the salon music became a popular rhythm for the tango dance.</p> <p>Although, the Argentine tango that originated from Argentina and Uruguay is popular nowadays, many tango styles have also been traced back to Cuba and Spain. Tango dance reached ballrooms at the start of the 20th century through the Teatro Opera. It also came to be known as ballroom tango as it had a few modified steps to match up with the ballroom norms. During 1903-1910, many gramophone records were sold that contained only tango music and tango sheet music. Tango became a rage among many places such as London, Berlin and Paris. At the end of 1913, tango hit New York and Finland. Just like waltz, this dance form surprised many dance lovers as close dancing was still not considered to be good. </p> <p>However, the ballroom tango lost its significance to many new dance styles like Samba and Foxtrot. But, with the emergence of Argentine tango, this dance form managed to bring itself back on the dance circuit again. Tango dance lessons are quite easy to learn and practice. With every passing day, there will be improvement in style, posture and moves. </p> http://forum.article19.co.uk/topic.php?id=380#post-446 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:17:22 +0000 DancerSoul 446@http://forum.article19.co.uk/ <p>Afro Dance Xplosion (London) brings together some of the hottest African diaspora dance practitioners to deliver a dynamite weekend of dance classes and workshops on 18th and 19th September 2010.</p> <p>Saturday 18th September 2010<br /> • 10.30am–12pm Contemporary Jazz with Fire Warrior<br /> • 12.15pm–1.45pm Afro-Eclectic Dance with Alesandra Seutin of Vocab Dance<br /> • 2pm–3pm Chu Ital Pilates with Michael Burgess<br /> • 3.30pm–5.30pm Traditional Congolese Dance masterclass with Lolita Babindamana</p> <p>Sunday 19th September 2010<br /> • 11.15am–12.45pm Horton Technique with David Blake from The Lion King<br /> • 1pm–2.30pm Afro-Contemporary with Alison Ray<br /> • 3.15pm–5.15pm Congolese Dance masterclass with Lolita Babindamana</p> <p>Cost<br /> Two days: £70 adv / £80 door; Sat only: £40 adv / £45 door; Sun only: £30 adv / £35 door; Masterclass only: £15 adv / £18 door; Single class: £10 adv / £12 door; Mix and match (one class on Sat, one class on Sun + masterclass on either day): £30 adv / £35 door.</p> <p>Venue<br /> Islington Arts Factory, 2 Parkhurst Road, London N7 0SF.<br /> Nearest tubes: Holloway Road, Calendonian Road<br /> Buses: 4, 17, 29, 43, 91, 153, 253, 259, 271, 359<br /> NB: Places are limited.

In Count Two six performers playfully depict a series of recognisable actions and images within a shifting spectacular framework.

Knowing beforehand that the piece would have to compete with Slanjayvah’s last year’s hit ‘Blind Passion’ and that the domestic violence theme was going to have a strong impact, the response was overwhelmingly positive. Critic Debbie Shine described the piece as “Dark, disturbing, yet breathtakingly beautiful in the tender moments.” Lesley Perez wrote “A section of fierce partnering illustrating the abusive relationship was absolutely gripping.” </p> <p>Suzanne Allen’s review stated, “A combination of beauty and tragedy, all the while a celebration of the survivors of domestic abuse, choreographer Jenni Wren and her collaborative dancers must be credited for their sensitive approach to this prevalent issue. A must see performance.” she continued, a sentiment echoed by Londondance critic Libby Costello’s “This taster of Crazy Joanna left me wanting to view the work in its entirety - let's hope this opportunity arises soon.”</p> <p>The full work of Crazy Joanna is an integrated moving image and live dance performance and a short film taken from the Buenos Aires scene, very skilfully put together by Aurora Fearnley (Little Northern Light) has been entered into this year’s Virgin Shorts Film Competition. Judging is currently taking place and Slanjayvah is hopeful that Crazy Joanna will be chosen as one of 12 ‘shorts’ to be shown on 240 cinema screens nationwide. </p> <p>Links</p> <p><a href="http://www.cloud-dance-festival.org.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cloud-dance-festival.org.uk/</a> </p> <p><a href="http://www.virginmediashorts.co.uk/films/entry/347087/crazy-joanna-3" rel="nofollow">http://www.virginmediashorts.co.uk/films/entry/347087/crazy-joanna-3</a> </p> http://forum.article19.co.uk/topic.php?id=362#post-424 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 11:33:15 +0000 CarolLee 424@http://forum.article19.co.uk/ <p>Opportunity for Professional Development with Slanjayvah Danza<br /> 31 August - 4 September 2010<br /> Slanjayvah Danza's Summer CO-LAB 2010 is round the corner, offering a range of exciting Professional Development opportunities.
