Invitation: Adornos, wine, and crafting workshop/party
Friday, April 19th
@ 7 PM
at Elizabeth’s house
$15 (and bring a GF snack or a drink to share!)
Feel more comfortable and elegant with your feet!
When I first started tango, I felt very awkward and nervous about adornos. I decided to focus on making my dance and feet more elegant, but I felt stupid dancing around, practicing. Then, one day, my feet did adornos without my conscious brain—but it took time playing with the shapes and tango music.
Come work on your balance, musicality, and movement in a supportive, constructive environment—and then have some wine, chocolate, or your go-to reward for challenging work.
Hang out and get to know the other tango women!
On the dance floor, we sometimes end up only knowing the dancers who dance the “other” role from ourselves. We are lucky in Portland to have many people who dance both, but everyone is so busy dancing that they forget to chat. Get to know some of the other great folks who tango! And you won’t miss a tanda doing it.
And if there are guys out there who want to work on adornos for following, like to knit, and want to chat, I won’t kick you out :-)
Bring your knitting!
Most of you know that I am a spinner and knitter. I have seen a lot of great knitted items recently at milongas, and realized many of us are also fiber folks. I had planned to have a craft night and a separate adornos class, but realized I can do both at one time! If you are a crafter, bring your knitting/crochet//weaving/spinning/etc. along, and curl up after class with a drink, a snack, and your hobby while you chat.
If you don’t craft, you can chat and keep the crafters company. We still like you!
