It started with Lambada, then zouk,zouklove, soulzouk, zouk
revolution, now London has it's own variation of this wonderful
dance;
Lyrical Zouk. Lambada zouk danced with sensuality, poise,connection
with your partner, allowing combinations to emerge organically
throughout the dance; Experience this new wonderful style every...............
week
at The Inn On The Green.

Inn on the Green a unique experience

Inn On The Green is the only Lambada Zouk Class of it's kind in
London. This is not a
class where one learns a move a week, it's a class where we look at
elements that make up the dance and try to work on them in order to
be a stronger dancer. A well structured warm up, using elements of
contemporary, Jazz, footwork drills, partner work,
musicality exercises, choreography work, the toughest and ultimately
the most rewarding class around.

Take Your Dance to the Next level
Class starts 7:30 followed by social dancing
classes are Three pounds

Press Release
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
For time eternal conversation has been the footnote of modern man.
It's really where it all began, without it we can't survive, we
couldn't live. Without that most basic of needs we would quickly go
insane. Human nature dictates the need to converse, we are a social
animal. Now that most ancient of human traits is being expanded beyond
all recognition. Today we are pleased to be able to take our
conversational experience to another level. Taking something that we
all do, in our own homes to another level completely. Now we ask you
to join in our global chat from around our table.

Around The Table.TV is a global test bed of future communications.
Neither distance, gender nor persuasion is a barrier. You are
cordially invited to join us in what we hope will be the biggest
social experiment since the invention of the Internet. Global chat
around our virtual table. Each of your ideas, thoughts & perspectives
is a "drop" that makes our "ocean of conversation". No rules except common
courtesy, no barriers except your own imagination. All are welcome to
join in this ground breaking seminar of global interactive discussion.
We aim to make it as easy to participate as a conversation should be.
No registration, no conformation, no delay. You can tweet, Facebook,
text or call, anyone with an Internet connection can attend. You can
even come along in person. All are welcome in our global living room.
Around The Table.TV is just what it pronounces to be. A fully televised
discussion from around a beautiful table. Broadcast live across the
Internet, no cuts, no retakes, just as conversation should be. Bring
your opinions, bring a sleeping bag & stay over. We are bringing chat
from http://www.aroundthetable.tv to your home, to your office, wherever you may
be, whatever you may be doing, all are welcome.

The Format
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
The Table will be situated in the centre of the floor surrounded by
"the audience", there will be chairs at the table which will be
occupied by whoever wants to be there.

There will be a pot in which we can put our suggestions subjects for
discussion at the table. Every 30 minutes, one new subject will be
randomly selected.

Each person at the table can discuss the subject for 60 seconds then
allow someone else to take it up if anyone wants to. At the end of 30
minutes a 5 minute summing up of the discussion will take place, then
a new subject will be selected.

If our table is full and someone wishes to participate, we will request a
volunteer to surrender their seat if no one wishes to do so we will draw
straws.

We would like to create the feeling of your home and invite you to
bring snacks, food, etc to share - there will be soup, a bottomless coffee pot
and teapot.

This is the third of a series of experimental events in this genre and
it will be videoed and broadcast live over the Internet. The video will
also be edited down and distilled into capsules to be shown on the
Internet at a later date.

Those who are watching on the web will be able to interact with the
discussions through social media streams on the website
http://www.aroundthetable.tv
and Twitter which will be projected on a large screen
in the venue, these contributions will be fed into the ongoing
discussions and back out through the web cast, maximising the potential synergy
of the event.

Hello Everyone

As you may or may not know I will be traveling to Bethlehem, PA to teach
workshops and lecture at 2 colleges.  This is part of the trip that includes New
York next week.  I wanted to share with you an interview that I did as part of
the promotion so that folks can get to know me better.

(Musings with the Maestros: An Interview with Ernest Williams (Nov. 3, 2010)
Ernest Williams will be visiting Bethlehem and New York City between November
11th and November 15th presenting a series of lectures and workshops
illuminating the relationship between African cultural influences and the tango.
He spent some time talking with La Vida Del Tango about his journey from
break-dancing in Philadelphia to being the protagonist of what may be the
most-watched performance of canyengue on youtube (upwards of 24,000 and
counting).  See our Workshops page for scheduling and details.

LVDT: You seem to have been involved in dance a long time.

EW: I've loved dancing since I was a child.  I grew up in Philadelphia and when
I was a kid�that was back in the late 1970s and early 80s�break-dancing was the
thing and I was always out there, pop-locking and all that kind of stuff.  I did
Michael Jackson imitations and I even entered a school competition with red
jacket, zipper and gloves.  In the `hood there was always a new dance�the wop or
the smurf, whatever new dance was out that year, I would do it.  One time my
older sister told me "all you is that break dancing, that's not dancing�you
can't dance."  That bugged me!  Although I didn't let it get me down, I kept it
in mind..........)
