Instructor to lead Argentine Tango
By Jesse Stephenson
Entertainment Reporter
r | ' he lights go down. You
look at your dance partner.
-L As the music starts, the two
of you begin to move.
It’s the tango.
The incidence of this scenario
is increasing across the country
with surprising popularity, and it
will visit campus this weekend in
a series of Argentine tango work
shops led by instructor Daniel
Trenner.
“The tango is exciting for sev
eral reasons,” said workshop or
ganizer Elizabeth Wartluft. “The
music is wonderful because of the
emotional nature it has. There is
also more space for dancers to im
provise and express themselves
than in ballroom dancing.”
Trenner will come to the Uni
versity with a background in Ar
gentine tango. He has spent 20
years teaching dance across the
country and has devoted the last
10 years to this form of tango. He
spends every summer in Buenos
Aires, continuing to improve his
skills.
“The tango in Argentina right
now is similar to the swing dance
craze in America in the 1930s,”
Wartluft said. “Daniel goes down
there each year to learn from
those who have made the dance
popular.”
Workshops will take place
tonight, Saturday and Sunday in
Gerlinger Complex. Classes will
last between one and a half and
two hours, and different tech
niques will be taught at each
workshop.
Wartluft said Trenner attempts
to make his classes different from
most by showing Argentina’s his
tory and culture with each step
that he teaches.
“The way he teaches allows
others to understand the Argen
tine tango in a cultural sense that
those in Argentina are already
aware of,” Wartluft said.
An introductory class and dis
cussion with Trenner will be in

Participants in Daniel Trenner’s tango workshop will learn both the
basic steps of and some embellishments on the Argentine Tango.
350 Gerlinger Annex tonight at
7:30 p.m. Registration will take
place at 7 p.m. On Feb. 22, basic
tango techniques will be taught at
12 p.m., and a class on steps and
features of the dance will begin at
2 p.m. On Feb. 23 sessions will
begin at 12 p.m. with a class on
combinations and embellish
ments for the tango, followed by a
workshop on turns and secadas at
2 p.m. The Feb. 22 and 23 classes
will take place in 220 Gerlinger.
“The lessons Daniel gives are
beneficial to anyone who takes
them,” Wartluft said. “The steps
are easy enough for the beginner
to pick up right away, while in
each workshop Daniel will have
something to challenge the ad
vanced student with as well.”
Students who learn the tango
need not see their skills go to
waste. Anyone interested can par
ticipate in a free dance practice
Feb. 22 and 23 at 4 p.m. There
will also be free dance practices
March 2 and 16 at 2 p.m. in Ger
linger 219.
Admission for tonight’s work
shop is $5. All other workshops
are $18 for the community and
$12 for students with ID cards. A
weekend package is also offered
for $55 for the community and
$40 for students.
Concert: Unique bands promise entertainment

dinator for the EMU Cultural Forum. Relaford
described the Critters as “a very tribal percussion
oriented band with real interesting guitar voicing.”
The band consists of bassist Brad Houser and
drummer Matt Chamberlain, who used to be two
of Edie Brickell’s New Bohemians, and saxophone
player Sherik.
Two Critters Buggin tunes from their first album
Guest are in the new Tupac Shakur movie Grid
lock’d. Their new album, Host, is now available on
the Loosegroove label.
Loosegroove is Pearl Jam rhythm guitarist Stone
Gossard’s record label.
The Fabulous Hedgehogs will open the show.
They are a San Francisco quintet who released their
first recording last year.
“They are an extremely unique band that I’d clas
sify somewhere between Frank Sinatra and Frank
Zappa,” Samrick said.

I ve seen the Hedgehogs live and they com
pletely blew my mind,” Relaford said.
Bob Jensen, owner of The Wild Duck, said “nei
ther band has played here before, so I’m interested
to see how the performance goes and how people
respond to it.”
“It’s definitely a music lover’s night for people
who are really into forward-thinking music,”
Relaford said.
Tickets are $5 for students, $6 for the general
public and $7 at the door.
