http://humilitan.blogspot.com/2016/10/bc-tango-music-class-and-memory-detour.html

Dmitry Pruss: tango links and lists. Tuesday, October 25, 2016. BC Tango music class notes . and a memory detour to Moscow. Salt Lake's art nouveau Ladies Literary Club. Now The Clubhouse at 850 E. South Temple. Used to be the cradle of the "dance tea parties" (the dansante) of the heyday of pre-WWI American tango boom, and it's amazing to witness its rebirth as a tango venue a century later. And it's especially poignant that the first tango workshop in this grand hall focused on the history of tango!

Tango commuter: Juan Carlos Pontoriero

http://tangocommuter1.blogspot.com/2015/05/juan-carlos-pontoriero.html

Thursday, 7 May 2015. I was devastated to get this from a friend yesterday:. Lovely film of Isabella dancing with Juan Carlos. Unfortunately, I think he died around 15th April. I heard he was attacked on a bus on the way home from El Maipu and had a heart attack. My teacher had just been sitting at the same table, talking to him earlier that night. Labels: Juan Carlos Pontoriero. The article on Juan Carlos Pontoriero was meant as a very small homage to him. 11 May 2015 at 21:34. Tango for a Lifetime.

Tango commuter: This!

http://tangocommuter1.blogspot.com/2015/04/i-love-this-sometimesi-come-across.html

Tuesday, 28 April 2015. Sometimes I come across a tango video that really lifts me up, and this is one of them, uploaded very recently, although the milonga was in 2012. Many thanks for it, it's a real joy. I still can't embed videos: the embed code gets printed in the post, with no video in sight. It's a pain! I notice how much 'dip and lift' energises this dance! It's one of the clearest examples of what a good friend and teacher kept saying to me: Con el cuerpo! Dance] with the body! And thank you for...

Tango commuter: Tango foxtrot

http://tangocommuter1.blogspot.com/2015/01/tango-foxtrot.html

Monday, 19 January 2015. There seems to be something missing in the tango world, something I can't find anywhere, and it's foxtrot. We have it from older dancers, especially from Osvaldo and Coca (in the MP interview. I've never seen a couple dancing anything that seemed to me remotely like foxtrot during a jazz or rock tanda in Buenos Aires, and I've never come across it in films of milongas either. If there is a video of Buenos Aires foxtrot please let me know! I've looked but can't find it. Tango as m...

Tango commuter: Abrazos

http://tangocommuter1.blogspot.com/2015/04/abrazos.html

Friday, 24 April 2015. Warm and direct, nothing uncomfortable, nothing apologetic. You might not notice this when you're watching, but I think it's something you're likely to feel if you dance there. Of course, women can be shy about close embrace with partners they don't know – and so can men! I always found that paying more attention to what is around us and looking a little closer leads to finding anything one could wish for. 26 April 2015 at 15:23. 27 April 2015 at 16:12.

Tango commuter: Troilo and the arrangers

Friday, 30 January 2015. Troilo and the arrangers. Please check out this later post. On my earlier post. 82-minute film about Troilo, called simply Pichuco,. Was released last year. I checked it out. Teacher of the School of Popular Music in Avellaneda, together with his students, is digitizing around 500 original handwritten arrangements. That have come to light. An astonishing trove of scores. It immediately occurs to me that handwriting can be. Throw light on the creative process. Didn't write much mu...

Tango commuter: Walking

http://tangocommuter1.blogspot.com/2015/06/walking.html

Saturday, 13 June 2015. I was delighted to find this clip recently. It's a short quote from a TV documentary made in 1999, in which Royal Ballet soloist Deborah Bull explored four kinds of dance; hip-hop, swing, belly dance and tango. (I wrote about this clip here. I've worked out how to embed video! It used to be straightforward until a software upgrade a few years back. Since then, an HTML embed code pasted into the text editor has been simply published as embed code. A few weeks ago it occurre...Hey, ...

Tango commuter: Troilo's arranger

http://tangocommuter1.blogspot.com/2015/01/troilos-arranger.html

Saturday, 10 January 2015. Please check out this later post. TodoTroilo', the available recorded works, consists of 464 tracks out of the 480-odd that were released: a few seem to have have gone missing, but it's great that so many are still around. I've been listening a lot recently to the recordings made between 1939 and 1944. and then, late one evening, a question hit me: who wrote all this music? With wonderfully tender passages, the music we dance. To at milongas,. Tracks released in these years.
