Dear friends,

From the middle of May, the Tango community in Singapore is in for a special treat! Starting from May 20 right through 27 May, there will be one week of intensive Tango activities as Singapore is graced by some of the best talents in Tango, who will be sharing their knowledge in many exciting workshops and performances.

"Tango Week" - Maestro workshops and milongas
==============================================

1. Tango Elegancia with Javier Rodriguez and Andrea Missé, 23 - 27 May

Between 23 - 27 May, IXI Danza will be hosting the second trip of Javier Rodriguez and Andrea Missé to Singapore, who have dazzled Tango dancers worldwide with their exquisite musicality and a highly dynamic close-embrace dancing. The idea was actually hatched during our trip last year to the 2007 Taipei International Tango Festival. After months of preparations, we are excited to announce their impending arrival! In the current Asian tour, Javier and Andrea will also be visiting Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo.

The program in brief:

May 24 (Sat) - Workshops - Jitterbugs
May 24 (Sat) - Milonga and Performance - Serangoon Gardens Country Club
May 25 (Sun) - Workshops - Jitterbugs

*As we will limit the class size to a maximum of 36 people, please register early to ensure your chance to learn from two of the best!

2. Guilermo Merlo and Fernanda Ghi and company, 20 - 23 May

Hot on the heels of the inaugural Kuala Lumpur Tango Festival the maestros Guillermo Merlo and Fernanda Ghi will be visiting Singapore, bringing with them the Tango show “The Four Seasons”. Their previous visit was in 2006 where they had a big impact on the local dancers with their entertaining approach to Tango.

The program for Guillermo Merlo and Fernanda Ghi are as follows (more details will be posted on ixidanza.com as we receive them):

May 20 (Tue) - Welcome Party at Xenbar
May 21 (Wed) - Workshops/Privates - Studio renegade

Upcoming Milonga
================

In the tradition of monthly "independent" milongas, there will be a milonga this coming Friday (18th April) at Bobby's Taproom, Chijmes. For all the non-"old timers", this place actually has a bit of a history in the local Tango scene, because this was the venue for weekly milongas in the early months of 2002. Now that the place has been renovated, and with new wooden flooring and an apparently excellent sound system, it is definitely worth checking out. Hope to see you all on Friday!

Perfume de la Mujer milonga
Organised by: Valerie
DJ: Tian Haw
Date: Friday 18th April
Venue: Bobby's Taproom at Chijmes (basement)
Time: 9.30pm - 2am.
Cover: $22 which includes 1 drink.
Theme: Springtime! Come dressed in bright, happy colours, instead of the classic black that we so love. =).

Cheers,
Louis.
