Feliz dia del Tango from Buenos Aires to National Day of Tango in Calgary ... Celebrations Around the World on December 11th, 2011

2011-12-15T12:20:00.011-07:00

WOW!!!!

National Day of Tango!

From Buenos Aires to Calgary

Hermenegildo Sábat, the great illustrator!

We were totally surprised and delighted to learn that El Tangauto Tango in Buenos Aires, Argentina, (with over 16,000 Facebook likes!) included Epicurean Tango Society in Calgary, Alberta CANADA in their Celebrations Around the the World notice! Click on the above listing to see the incredible GLOBAL extensive Milonga listings to celebrate this very special Argentine Tango date!

For our 2nd Annual National Day of Tango Milonga, it was a pleasure to share the personal photographic memento of Fabian and Roxana Belmonte, Tangodeoro. This historic photo captures Ben Molar - the creator of the National Day of Tango and all the truly great people who enriched their Tango lives and in turn, ours. It is this generous Tango spirit that I believe Ben Molar wanted to foster, for all to experience.

photo from Fabian & Roxana Belmonte, Tangodeoro

On December 11th, the National Day of Tango, we celebrate the shared birthdays of Carlos Gardel (1890) and Julio De Caro (1895), but also honour Ben Molar, whose tenacity and persistence for 11 years ensured it was declared into Argentina law.

Subsequently, in 2009, UNESCO designated Tango as a Cultural Patrimony of Humanity.

Here is El Tangauta Tango's National Day of Tango - Celebrations Around the World Update ... from all the clubs dedicated to Argentine Tango, in sharing the history and hosting Milongas for everyone to enjoy!

Angel Coria

Argentine Tango Mini Festival

August 4 to 7, 2011

Featuring:
12 Group Classes

4 Elegant Milongas;
Private & Semi-Private Lessons

INTRODUCTION:

Angel Fabian Coria

Dancer, Choreographer, Maestro of Tango &

Judge, Tango de Salon, World Tango Festival, Buenos Aires

He was born on May 10, 1969, in a little town of the province of Chaco, Argentina

Angel is know as one of the principal dancers in the film Tango by Carlos Saura(1998), which was nominated for an Oscar and won the 1999 American Choreography Award of the Academy of Dance on Film. He not only played the roll of a dancer but the assistant of the choreographer played by Juan Carlos Copes.

As a dancer he exposes his passion with elegance and sensual style. There are two for Tango and a lot of passion, the dancer gives his vent to imagination and creativity to tell a story of love or hate in few minutes. He transmits that deep connection not only to his partner but to the audience.

He shared stage with great Tango Masters like Juan Carlos Copes(Play “Entre Borges y Piazzolla” (1997)won the “Estrella de Mar Awar”,and from 1998-2002 was part of Cope’s company, Mariano Mores(1995), Julian Plaza(1998), Maria y Carlos Rivarola (for world championship of Tango in 2002), Raul Lavie(1997),Virginia Luquez(2002-2005), Maria Granas(Play Copes Tango Copes 2002), Sexteto Mayor(Play “Tangos y Gaucho, Portugal, Spain Bulgaria1992), José Colangello (Japan, 1996) Osvaldo Berdincely (Japan 2003), Alberto Podesta(Spain and Portugal 1992) to name a few.

He was the director of choreography for many shows such us “Buenos Aires Bohemia” ((1998) Shanghai, China), El Viejo Almacen, Manofactura Papelera (Buenos Aires, Argentina.)He performed and was the director of choreography on TV (1990) “El Gran Debut”.

He teaches conferences worldwide. He toured and performed in USA, China, Japan, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Serbia, Canada, Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay.

He is an experienced, dedicated and modest maestro. When you meet Mr. Coria you will find precision, control, elegance, musical interpretation, approaching the interpretation to incorporate pauses, change of tempo, and listen to the melody instead of rhythm. Listen to the partner and incorporate what, the partner communicates to him, but most important, to interpret with the energy formed by a close body connection.

In the class, he inspires an environment, to reveal and encourage personal creativity and potentials ……the legs and feet have a very exclusive language capable of drawing silent shapes that reveals what words can’t do. The Tango starts above, in the mind and goes down to the heart.

Mr. Coria is loyal to his essences he defends the traditional tango but he can merge the old time Tango with modern Tango without loosing his particular style.

He also was the Assistant Director and involved in the choreography for the National Ballet of Folklore (1990)

Angel Coria began dancing folklore at the age of 8 and made his professional debut in 1986 with the “Ballet del Plata” and won the Cosquin Award.

Although Calgary is a city of over one million people, the current tango community is quite small.

This club was created to offer an inviting and friendly milieu, within a nurturing community,

fueled with enthusiasm for Tango, a passion to learn, share, develop and surpass existing tango skills.

Epicurean Tango has attracted people who have never been exposed to Tango before, as well as,

Welcoming back those, who left and includes experienced Tangueros seeking a unique experience.

Tango in Calgary is in its early stages of a beautiful, blossoming garden with unlimited possibilities,unrestricted colour, unconditional acceptance filled with an energy that fosters a positive, productive and progressive life journey to be shared. You’re invited to join us.

The Argentine Tango Mini Festival covers 4 days & we’re excited to welcome Angel Coria!

A tremendous amount of planning and preparation went into this programme and we extend an invitation to all participants to experience in a caring learning environment, with a Maestro.

Thank you for your support, bring your friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife,

we’re here and we’re interested in your feedback,

to continue to improve our standard of excellence.

Welcome to a unique and authentic Argentine Tango Experience!

Angel Coria Welcomes Calgary Tango Community! Epicurean Tango Society Festival August 4 - 7, 2011

2011-07-25T11:18:00.002-06:00

dear sandra .. please share my message

Dear friends and students in Calgary .... in the coming weeks I will be in Calgary after several unsuccessful attempts to return.

This time I will be back courtesy of the Epicurean Tango Society, by personal choice.

DanceCalgary.com is asking their students, as well as the entire tango community, not to participate.

For many years I worked successfully with Leo Sato, whom I respect very much. This time I do not share the same opinion. For several years I tried to return teaching with DanceCalgary.com but as I said before, for various reasons, it was impossible. In the absence of an offer from DanceCalgary.com, I decided to accept that of Epicurean, without wanting to offend or cause any harm to anyone.

I want to let you all know that I will be in Calgary between 4 to 7 of August 2011, to be reunited with the tango community of Calgary, with no other intention than to do my job and continue working as usual.

This is just a personal choice. If you want to come I look forward to seeing all of you with the same enthusiasm and professionalism .
Thank you.

gracias .. besos
