Hola Tango Friends!
You are warmly invited to join us for a very special tango adventure: The TangoIntensivo™ 2008 Sessions with Luciana Valle & Dance of the Heart (Brian Dunn & Deborah Sclar)!
 Luciana Valle |
IF YOU ARE.......
We are looking for a special group of dancers who want to pursue tango mastery in a new & different way. Join us for 6 days of intensive study in Buenos Aires. Work intensively on your tango with a gender-balanced group of fellow students & carefully trained Assistants under the guidance & direction of world-class tango teacher LUCIANA VALLE, one of the most talented, insightful & energetic tango teachers Buenos Aires has produced. We first started working with Luciana (a.k.a. "Hurricane Lucy") ten years ago, and she has been a touchstone for our tango experience ever since. Her warm enthusiasm, penetrating insight into tango structure and dynamics, and deep skill and experience at dancing both the leader and follower roles has brought her well-deserved intercontinental fame in the world of tango. |
ASSURED QUALITY THROUGH LIMITED ENROLLMENT: Only 20 students (staff/student ratio better than 1:1!!)
 | Our program guarantees you will rotate exclusively among the trained Staff, our TangoIntensivo Assistants, for the duration of the program. This provides each student with the opportunity to focus on YOUR learning process rather than navigating through the difficulties that can often arise when your usual partner is also struggling with you. Our Assistants are selected from among the many talented young dancers working with Luciana in Buenos Aires through her acclaimed "El Motivo" practica & school. |
| For those who wish to attend any of the above sessions, but dance ONLY with their own partner, we will arrange a price that reflects the savings made possible by your commitment to work exclusively with ONLY your own partner. But we should mention that in more than three years, only 2 couples have ever done this - and at the end of the program, they ALL regretted it, noting the cost savings was a VERY poor investment! |
REPEAT CUSTOMERS ARE THE BEST TESTIMONIAL
We have held fourteen of these programs since February 2005, and our list of satisfied students continues to grow. We're very flattered that, despite the cost of airfares from the USA and multiple other options to choose from, we get an incredible amount of repeat business. Out of the fourteen programs we've offered in 3 1/2 years, thirty-three people joined us two or more times, with fourteen people taking three programs, and two people taking five out of fourteen!! (This doesn't count us, of course!)
PEERLESS TANGO TRAVEL ADVICE
Your tuition pays for your classes and your partners - you'll arrange your own airfare, meals and accommodations - but over the years we've developed (and keep updating) a treasure trove of valuable information we share with registered students about securing good solutions to these travel problems! (Some of our students have urged us to publish this treasure trove separately - but right now it's still an exclusive benefit of your registration!)
See below for some pictures from our recent classes, plus testimonials from some of our students:

Student comments from previous TangoIntensivo™ Sessions (Fourteen sessions
since February 2005): |
"It was a breakthrough week for me. It allowed me to develop a very deep understanding of tango & has given me a solid base from which to catapult my dancing to the next level. You guys put together a great program with Luciana. I plan on returning...I took out a Chicho video last night & all of a sudden...I could see everything he was doing." |
| “I’ve taken intensive tango workshops all over the world from all the best…this was the absolute best workshop experience I’ve ever had!” |
| "These sessions are an incredible experience of deep systematic structural exploration in tango, combined with the opportunity to work closely in partnership with an absolutely fantastic group of followers...rotating among them, experiencing their patience and welcoming smiles, really made the difficult parts much easier." |
| "...what an AWESOME TangoIntensivo™ session...I feel privileged to be a part of this historical occasion...don't ask me why it feels that way, but what the 3 of you put together was just incredible. Especially wonderful was the opportunity to work with Argentine dancers [as followers], the meticulous care & timing with which all the classes were designed & the quality of the material offered." |
|
"The program once again exceeded my expectations & again took me to a different level in my dance. There is nothing like this program & I continuously tell everyone I can that this is the program to take......there cannot be too much to say about the level of work that goes into developing this program. My hat goes off to Luciana, Brian & Deb to grow this program. I look forward to my continuing attendance..." |
|
"I really loved the program...Luciana's knowledge of the information is incredible...she did a superb job. Brian & Deb were unbelievable. I know you did so much behind the scenes...with such style & class it went unnoticed in a good way." |
|
"Knowing as I came in each day that I was going to push my limits with such a beautiful group of followers to help me get there - so many treasured memories of so many wonderful dances." |
|
"...the challenge & joy of dancing with some very high level leads & feeling their musicality & the unexpected little plays they made during the dance, the high level of connection that they brought to the dance, the chance to really work more deeply with some of these ideas & techniques....also of course the clarity & specificity of Luciana's teaching & the way she dissects the structure of the dance. Luciana is always a stand out." |
|
"...my embrace is more secure, masculine & dynamic." |
|
"Dancing with the guys in class, the musicality...is just so incredible feeling what this dance can be...working intensively with Luciana, getting the clarity & depth of understanding & passion that she brings to it." |
|
"Other than of course Luciana & dancing with the guys, I would say (the best part of this experience for me was) feeling my body waking up again....it has been a while since I have felt that total satisfaction of dancing. I want more!" |

Session A and Session B are independent programs. Each one covers different subjects.
