Re: Tango Night <at> Cowboy Monkey, 2/2/2011, 7:30 pm



It is possible that the Cowboy Monkey will take a snow day tonight, and we'll cancel tango. I forgot that I set up this auto-reminder message last week.

Stay tuned to this email channel for a decision about whether tango is on for tonight. I think we will know by early afternoon.

ContactTango at KAM this Saturday



Friends - I hope you join us for a movement-filled afternoon of ContactTango at KAM!
 
Saturday, February 4, 2011
12-4pm More Specifically: 12-2:45 Guided Lab; 2:45 - 4 Open Jam
Guided Laboratory Lead by Jeff Wallace & Chantelle Hougland - with Mischiefmaking Jam DJ Melih Sener
Drop in/out at will, and it's FREE
 
Blending contact improvisation with argentine tango, we will explore exciting possibilities for moving together thru space, sharing weight, honing our perception of space, and re-orienting ourselves to the concept of lead-follow, follow-lead.  This workshop/laboratory is for anyone who wants to expand their skills and increase sensitivity/connection in their dance. We will accomodate any/all skill levels.
 
The workshop will be followed by an open Laboratory/Jam session with DJ and progressive, nuevo tango, and some traditional styles of music.  Both the class and jam session are open to everyone.  Dancers from both CI and Tango communities will be there to share, experiment, and have fun.

Participants should have some movement experience/kinesthetic awareness - which means your experience dancing tango is more than enough to get you started.  You should also have an openness to dancing closely with others, and an adventurous spirit.  Wondering what to wear?  Loose fitting, comfortable clothes suitable for modern dance class (sweats, t-shirts, yoga pants, stretchy cotton, layers).  No shoes (unless you want to dance traditional tango during the jam).
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me directly.  You can also read/view more about contact improvisation and Contact Tango Laboratory at www.contacttangolaboratory.com.
 
Cheers,
Chantelle

storytime by the fire - Re: Tango Night <at> Cowboy Monkey, 2/2/2011, 7:30 pm

"There was once, in the country of Alifbay, a sad city, the saddest of
cities, a city so ruinously sad that it had forgotten its name. It
stood by a mournful sea full of glumfish, which were so miserable to
eat that they made people belch with melancholy even though the skies
were blue...."

Let us meet at 6:30 today at my place to read stories by the fire. I
propose "Haroun and the Sea of Stories" by Rushdie (excerpted above),
which is a children's book for adults, full of marvels. You can also
bring something else to read you wish to share.

If there is a Monkey tonight, we'll go and dance there at 8 (I live
just thirty paces away from the door). If not we'll dance anyway,
until sense and sensibility dictates otherwise. There will be cognac
and hot chocolate. You are also encouraged to bring a bite or a drink
to share.

Bring good cheer and friends.

Melih
(124 N Neil, Apt. #204, around the corner from the Monkey, 212-729-0803)

Re: ContactTango at KAM this Saturday



Ooops.  It was just brought to my attention that Saturday is Feb 5 (not 4th).  My bad.
 
The ContactTango Lab is, indeed, on Saturday, February 5. :-)
