JANUARY 2006 |
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It's wonderful to have had
a short break but now we're refreshed and ready to leap
into a New Year of TANGO! Having kick-started
2006 with our New Years Day celebrations at "Nuevo
Tango Junction", January will burst into a buzz of
activities with all classes and regular events resuming as
normal.
This month we also have
"Summer Tango at Manly Corso" - a special
event at Manly's amphitheatre for families and friends to
enjoy live tango music and dancing. We welcome everyone!
We wish you all a year
filled with opportunities, experiences and magical tango
moments.

SUMMER TANGO
AT MANLY CORSO |
 |
Manly Corso recently celebrated '150
years' since it was first founded by Henry Gilbert
Smith. Named after a famous street in Rome, the corso
was little more than a boardwalk for the early tourists.
Today, it is filled with restaurants, cafés, concerts
and attractions.
This summer 'A Little Buenos
Aires' and 'Orquesta Tipica Tiempo de Tango'
brings you 'Summer Tango at Manly Corso'.
This is a special event for tango enthusiasts to enjoy
FREE live entertainment. Seize this wonderful
opportunity to dance to a live tango orchestra... in the
heart of Manly.
Note for the Diary:
'Summer Tango at Manly Corso'
is a FREE outdoor event that will take place on
Sunday 22nd January 2006 from 2pm - 4pm.
We welcome all dancers! |

RESEARCH FINDS:
“Our findings suggest that tango
may be better than walking for improving the execution of
complex tasks and the ability to move within a restricted area
without losing one’s footing,” says Patricia McKinley, PhD.
Tango dancing is beneficial
to the elderly, says McKinley, because it incorporates elements
found in standard neurological rehabilitation programs: forward,
backward and side-to-side weight shift; one-legged stance;
walking on a straight line both backwards and forwards;
increasing step length in all directions; and turning within a
narrow space.
“An added benefit of tango
is that its movements are performed to music, which is known to
facilitate performance of ambulatory activities,” says McKinley.

PIAZZOLLA FOR FOUR HANDS by
PABLO ZIEGLER & CHRISTOPHER O’RILEY |
|
“Ziegler takes the tango to levels of sophistication and
refinement probably undreamed of by Piazzolla.”
– Chicago Tribune
Born in
Buenos Aires in 1921, Astor Piazzolla transformed
the tango of his native land. Bringing large scale
structures of classical music into tango, he developed a
completely fresh approach which fused classical music
and jazz with the traditional Argentinean national dance
sounds.
In 2006,
Pablo Ziegler and Christopher O’Riley will
join forces in an evening celebrating the ‘new tango’
music of Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla. In three
concerts, the pair will showcase their extraordinary
talents in a dynamic and dazzling romp across the
keyboards, taking Piazzolla’s classic tango to new
levels of sophistication and refinement.
