Santiago Croce Returns to Sacramento

Over the course of their professional career, Santiago Croce and his partner, Amy Lincoln have been invited to be part of the most important and acclaimed International Tango Festivals sharing the cast with most prestigious masters of tango. They've been in several cities worldwide always conveying the essence of tango and its traditions focusing on it customs and way of dancing like in Buenos Aires.
Santiago and Amy have become famous in the States very quickly because of their reputation and teaching skills for sharing the authenticity of Argentine Tango in it pure form. Winners of the Tango Salon championship of 2010 in Buenos Aires, they've also performed and given classes in the most prestigious salons of Buenos Aires such as Salon Canning, Grisel Club, Club Sunderland, Sin Rumbo, Glorias Argentinas to name some of them. Also they have taught at the renowned Carlos Copello School of Tango. Guardians of the old school of tango, they focus their dance on the subtleties of the embrace, the elegance, the connection and the quality of movement. They seek to transmit in their dance, as in their lessons, the importance of celebrating tango from the intimacy of the embrace and the unique encounter of two people.

Ballet Épaulement.

Image
I've had many students ask me to clarify what I mean when I ask them to use their  épaulement  (ay-pohl-MAHN)  while dancing.  Correct  é paulement , or placement of the head and shoulders while dancing, can mean the difference between looking like a student and looking like a refined dancer. É paulement requires that the dancer angle his or her head .   I often say to "offer one cheek forward, as if presenting it to receive a kiss."   Exceptions, of course, are the  é cart é   positions, where the head is turned either toward the elbow ( devant ) or away from the arms completely ( derriere ).   Below is an illustration of the correct  é paulement , dependent on the position of the body.  The position that is labeled quatrieme (fourth)   is also referred to as en face (opposite [the audience]). The sooner you memorize the positions of the head and shoulders, the sooner you can start incorporating them into your danc...

Preserving The Life of Your Pointe Shoes

Image
Pointe shoes—those tiny, shiny, glorified piñatas, which today, make it possible for ballerinas to dance complete, three-act ballets on their pointes .   They can be expected to last anywhere from 3 months to 3 hours, depending on the demand placed on them.   For a dancer in a professional company, they are considered work supplies, and the cost is put on the company she/he dances for.   In the case of students, the cost of these educational tools, which can run between $40-$85 a pair, is often on the parents or the student themselves to cover.   The more the student is dancing, the quicker this pointe shoe budget adds up.   Why do the shoes break down so fast?   The answer is simple:   most pointe shoes are made from natural materials (leather, cardboard, burlap, layers of paper, glue, and satin).   These materials create a supportive structure that is also pliable enough to move with the dancers feet.   As the dancer’s feet bend a...

Pointe Shoe Prep

Image
I received some questions this week about sewing and prepping shoes, so I'll attempt to answer those and include some additional information.  During the week of September 1st-5th, I will be spending the first half of class making sure everyone knows how to sew their shoes, but here are some pointers for how it's done. Elastic and Ribbons Elastic should be 3/4" wide.  Dancewear stores will typically give you enough to sew one elastic per shoe, unless you specify that you wish to "criss-cross" your elastics, in which case, you'll need double the amount. Criss-crossing can help if you find that the heel of the shoe is slipping off with only one. Be advised that dance elastic is much stronger than what you will find at your local fabric store, and more readily comes in pointe shoe-appropriate colors.  Melting the edges of your cut elastics will prevent fabric fraying, but don't let the elastic actually touch the flame--burnt elastic smells pretty nasty. ...
