Maximiliano Gluzman (Buenos Aires) is delighting dancers worldwide with his teaching and performances.  A popular instructor, Maxi taught with the legendary milonguero Tete Rusconi in Rome, and at festivals in Buenos Aires, Zurich, Sicily, Capri, Ann Arbor, Chicago and Washington D.C.    (See Profiles and Videos at www.maxigluzman.com) 

Maxi is one of the special young dancers carrying the torch of the milongueros from tango's Golden Age. He has spent years researching the social tango of the old masters.  Maxi's dance has the musicality and the improvisational inventiveness that is characteristic of Buenos Aires' rich tradition.

Maxi generated enthusiastic high praise in Boston last year.  We are excited to welcome him back for his second visit!

WORKSHOPS
(1 hr 20 min)

Saturday

  (11:45 PM       Registration)
12:00 PM    A.   TECHNIQUE & MUSICALITY  (All Levels)
We will find the technical skills that make our dance both highly effective and inherently musical, by exploring one's axis, weight transfer, the embrace, partner communication and musical ideas.

   1:45 PM    B.   MILONGA I:  MUST HAVE RHYTHMIC PATTERNS   (Intermediate)
We will study the milonga rhythms of liso, traspie and combinado patterns from both the leader's and follower's perspective to achieve an efficiently connected milonga. We'll also explore how classic tango steps behave in milonga, and how these very patterns give rise to several milonga "native" steps.

  3:30 PM    C.  MILONGA II:  GIROS IN MILONGA TRASPIE  (Intermed & Advanced)
Milonga with traspie can be a very simple dance.  We can also enrich it by expanding our vocabulary. One of the trickiest elements of a more complex milonga traspie is the giros. We will study both the overall technique behind them as well as several examples of giros and connection between giros.
 

Sunday

(12:15 Registration)
12:30 PM  D.  ALTERNATE RHYTHMIC PATTERNS   (Intermediate)
Inspired by the old milongueros of Buenos Aires, we’ll study different approaches to the beat in tango. We’ll work on pauses and dancing to the melody as well as the contrapiano to enhance our perception and interpretation of the music.

2:15 PM   E.  IMPROVISATION IN CROSSES  (Intermed & Advanced)
This lesson is about perfecting the technique for crosses, to incorporate crossing movements in the leader's repertoire, and to use the cross as an important element in musicality and as a source of new steps and combinations.

4:00 PM  F.  ADVANCED GIROS & CHANGES OF DIRECTION  (Advanced)
We will study different advanced giros, from the classical unbreakable, to old milonguero jewels, to several of Maxi's original combinations.
