Sunday, November 30 - Alberto's Night Club, 736 W. Dana, Mountain View

3:00 – 4:30 p.m.
Workshop 3: Unusual Transitions To and From Crossed Feet.
This class will explore interesting and unusual ways to transition to and from crossed feet. We will explore situations where the follower takes extra steps to make these transitions. From this work we will develop building blocks for some very nice figures.

5:00 – 6:30 p.m. Workshop 4. The Quick Reversal.
In this class we will study ways to transitions from walking forward to walking backward. We will again use walking exercizes to develop an important movement, a close embrace forward ocho, and then we will use this to make very compact and beautiful figures.

Each workshop $25.
Discount available - pregistration by Friday, November 28: both workshops $45 (with Milonga)

followed by
7:00 until late MILONGA @ Alberto’s DJ - Robert Hauk Milonga $10.

Monday, December 1 - JCC Tango Club, Cubberley Center Auditorium,
4000 Middlefield Rd., Palo Alto, CA 94303-4760

8:30 – 10;00 p.m.
Workshop 5: Constructing Combinations.
In this class we will explore a way of developing more complex combinations from simpler movements. We will use the walked turn developed in the second class as a starting point in this study. In Robert Hauk’s own dancing he finds it more useful to study situations and use these situations to open possibilities rather than learning fixed figures. This class will explore how that is done.

Workshop $25, JCC Tango club members $20.

Discount price for all five workshops : $100 - with pre-registration by Friday, November

Robert Hauk is a nationally renowned tango teacher and DJ, who has been dancing milonguero style for more than eleven years, and teaching tango for over nine years.. His specialty is “apilado” or “milonguero” style, in which he has achieved an extraordinary level of skill – sufficient even to win the praise of Buenos Aires toughest judges – the milongueros themselves. His ability to communicate the music and the emotion has made him a highly sought after dance partner at milongas across the United States.

Robert has been dancing and teaching the milongueros style for eight years since he met his main teacher Susana Miller. He has spent significant time in Buenos Aires dancing among the older dancers of this style, learning their way of dancing tango. He has also spent years learning about the music and is a highly regarded DJ for Milongas. He has been a teacher and a DJ at many festivals around the country. Robert's popularity as an instructor at tango festivals is a result of his practical insight and straight-forward teaching that makes milonguero style tango readily accessible students. His skillful techniques quickly empower students with the “feel” of connected social dancing. As a result, his teaching has been influential and has engendered tango community growth in Portland and other cities across the U.S.
