Bailongo!
A Celebration of Argentinian Tango in the UK
Edinburgh: 23rd - 25th November 2007
Presented by Rumbos de Tango
|
Welcome
We invite you to celebrate the flourishing of Argentine Tango in the
UK at Bailongo! 2007.
Bailongo! is a vibrant tango festival set in the beautiful City of Edinburgh.
This year we can offer you:
-
15 workshops at graduated levels
-
The Atemporal Tango Lounge - the heart of the festival where you
can relax, dance, eat, drink and socialise between workshops.
-
Three nights of dancing, including The famous Edinburgh Winter Ball.
This year the ball will feature live music from Mala Pinta.
Workshop Information
-
In the spirit of tango as a social and improvised dance, in all
Bailongo! workshops there will be a policy of changing partners.
Within this structure, those who book in couples will be given as
much opportunity as possible to practice together.
-
After four sell-out years, we recommend that you book early. By
booking before 16th November you can buy great value passes to get
the most out of the weekend.
Beginners' Course
Alongside the main workshop programme, we also offer an intensive
3-hour beginners course split over the two days of the festival.
This is for those who wish to try tango for the first time or
who would like to go back to basics. This course will be given
by Toby Morris.
Part 1 Saturday 5.00 - 6.30
Part 2 Sunday 5.00 - 6.30
Venue: Above the Forest Cafe, Bristo Place. |

Genoveva
Fernández and Andrés 'Tanguito' Cejas
www.andresygenoveva.com.ar
Andrés and Genoveva represent the purest style of Argentine
Tango. They have worked with orchestras such as Mariano Mores,
Raul Garello and Sexteto Tango and have performed in many theatres
internationally, working with dancers such as Osvaldo Zotto & Lorena
Ermocida, Roberto Herrera & Vanina Bilous, Gloria & Eduardo,
Los Dinzel, Nelida & Nelson. In the UK they work mainly in
Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield. |
Romina
Godoy and Leandro Palou
www.tangosoul.co.uk
In 2006, Romina and Leandro set up a Tango School in the centre
of London where they regularly teach the basis of traditional Argentine
Tango. They continuously travel for performing and teaching in
the UK and in Europe (participating in some of the biggest Tango
Festivals), where they offer people their experience and knowledge
of more than ten years dancing. Classes are focused on an understanding
of good technique and the aesthetics, always in a fun and relaxed
environment.

Jenny
Frances and Ricardo Oria
www.rumbosdetango.com (this site)
Since beginning to work together in 2002, Jenny and Ricardo have
performed and taught all over the UK, in Europe and in Argentina.
They have developed a reputation as one of the leading tango couples
in the UK. Jenny and Ricardo seek the timeless elements
of tango; always creative and in tune with the dance's improvised
nature. They have worked extensively with masters such as los Dinzel
in Buenos Aires to further develop their dance and teaching.

MALA PINTA
www.malapinta.com
Mala Pinta plays Argentine tango-four musicians with a shared
passion and international backgrounds. Deeply rooted in the rich
history, Mala Pinta plays tango as "urban chamber music" in
concert and dance halls. At once raw and refined, eclectic and
earthy, the group plays tango in an honest and personal way. Since
2003 the band has evolved into one of the most appreciated dance
orchestras in Europe.
