Riga's

Jugendstil
in Riga |
"Paris des Baltikums"
wurde die Stadt in der Zeit zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen
genannt. Der Grund war das lebendige Nachtleben und
die progressive kulturelle Szene bei. Dynamisch, kreativ
und poetisch - Riga lockte über die Jahrhunderte
hinweg schon immer die Komponisten, die Dichter und
die Künstler an.
Aufgrund der perfekten Lage am Baltischen
Meer - dort, wo sich Ost und West treffen - diente Riga
in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten als bedeutendes Handels-
und Finanz-Zentrum. Viele Nationalitäten - Letten,
Deutsche, Schweden, Russen, Polen - vereinte die Stadt
hinter ihren Mauern. Sie lebten hier, arbeiteten hier
und trugen alle ihren Einfluss an diesen historischen
Ort.
Einzigartige kulturelle Werte nennt die Stadt ihr eigen,
was an der intakten mittelalterlichen Architektur und
den vielen Beispielen des Art Noveau liegt. Die UNESCO
hat das historische Zentrum der Stadt zum Weltkulturerbe
erklärt.

*Estilo Milonguero (tango apilado
/ confiteria style)
This style originated as the 'petitero' or 'caquero'
style in the “Tango Golden Era” in the1940s
and 50s in closely packed dance halls and "confiterias”,
so it is danced in close embrace, chest-to chest, with
the partners leaning - or appearing to lean - slightly
towards each other to allow space for the feet to move.
There are not many embellishments or firuletes or complicated
figures for the lack of space in the original milonguero
style but now also those figures are danced, which only
at first glance seem impossible in close embrace. Actually,
a lot of complicated figures are possible even in milonguero.
Today, it is the most common tango style in the Buenos
Aires milongas where most of milongueros dance for 30
– 50 or even more years. Although the rhythmic,
close-embrace style of dancing has existed for decades,
the term "Milonguero Style" only surfaced
in the mid- '90s when the name was created by Susana
Miller, who had been the assistant to Pedro 'Tete' Rusconi.
Many of the older dancers who are exponents of this
style (including 'Tete') prefer not to use the label.
Although there are only few dancers in Latvia who dances
pure milonguero style, we chose this topic because it
may give more valuable information and practical skills
that will be useful for everybody. The main of them
are the following: excellent contact between partners
that provides more freedom in your movements, better
awareness and feeling of yourself, your partner and
other dancers, as well as an emotional intimacy that
is the primary meaning of tango.
*All workshops will be about the
close embrace and teachers will focus on good contact
between partners, straight and relaxed posture, balance,
elegance and freedom of movements, movement principles,
but will not focus on certain figures and combinations.
In other words, the lessons will be about the base basics
that are necessary for everyone and without which it
is impossible to dance beautifully and derive pleasurable
sensations from tango…..
