Dancing in the spring at Villa La Rogaia
May 3 to 10, 2014 Siobhan Richards & Michael Lavocah
Siobhan and Michael have been teaching all over Europe for many years. They are known for their gentle, humorous and patient attitude towards their students. Their teaching ing focusses on the ever more important basics of tango - the things that really help you on the dance floor: body awareness, axis, presence, musicality, stress-free dancing and a subtle connection to the partner.
Michael is also a sought-after DJ and has recently published a book about tango music specifically for dancers: "Tango Stories, Musical Secrets." With his music selection he will turn the dance evenings at La Rogaia into a very special experience.
May 10 to 17, 2014 Ariadna Naveira & Fernando Sanchez
Despite their young age Ariadna and Fernando are already among the top teachers in the international Tango world. They have a deep knowledge of the structure and movement of the classic tango. - No wonder, when you have the most famous tango teacher in the world (Gustavo Naveira) as "personal coach". If you are an advanced level Tango dancers, you should not miss this intensive seminar with Ariadna and Fernando.
May 17 to 24, 2014 Beatrix Satzinger & Michael Young
Beatrix and Michael will show you how to dance to the music without effort and how to adapt yourself to the partner without losing yourself. They stress sensitive and respectful partnership is a priority for clear, inviting leading as well as musically danced following.
Beatrix and Michael do not want to impress with intricate step sequences - even though they easily could - but they want to show you a relaxed and harmonious way to dance.
May 24 to 31, 2014 Metin Yazir
Metin Yazir, the "magician", dances with "oriental" musicality and a special empathy. Even beginners seem weightless and elegant when dancing with him. Metin has an exceptional talent as teacher: he will introduce to you the secrets of lead and follow with a very precise observation of individual problems and with lots of humor, energy and temperament... Metin’s workshop at La Rogaia will touch base on partnership, connection, rhythm, healthy dancing (avoiding injury or pain) and playfulness.
