Dear friends,
After 4 months in Argentina dancing Tango about 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, teaching live tango and online classes for ANAR DANA etc, I am on tour again.  This May I am offering Tango classes in Charleston, SC at the beginning and end of the month.  I am in Germany in the middle of the month to wrap up the ANAR DANA Germany project and will be teaching the Argentine Folkdance Chacarera in Göttingen and an intenstive weekend of Tango in Hannover.
 
In June I will be back in the US on the West Coast with ANAR DANA projects.  ANAR DANA SF will have it's final recital on June 6 in San Jose and ANAR DANA Seattle it's first live weekend of the new project on June 11-12.  We will also have a Cultural Evening on the 10th open to everyone. The theme is the history and symbolism of pomegranates!  ANAR DANA Seattle is open to accepting new dancers and we would love if you would like to come and see what a marvelous community of movers and learners awaits you!

Awaken Your Dancing Body!  continues to be a real joy for me.  People around the world join for this hour of deep exploration of the body.  This is a class for all levels of experience and capability.  In fact we have had people using the class to recover from major injuries.  In the coming few months, because of my touring schedule, classes will be sporadic. You can write to me to join the Whatsapp announcement group for these classes.  Come and see what new things you can discover about how your body moves!  Here is what one student has to say:

 "I have been awakening my dancing body with Helene, ever since we moved our classes to zoom in March 2020. I was absolutely thrilled that she established it as a weekly practise for Saturdays and Sundays... I have gained strength and body awareness, which has a great impact on my dancing. Form and stability have definitely improved, giving me freedom to work on expression and other details. Love! love! love it!"
C.G.
 
On the Pomegranate Garden Dance platform I will be offering a Cultural Talk on May 30th.
 
I am so grateful for those of you who support my work on  the ANAR DANA Patreon Page.  We have new material every month: performance videos of ANAR DANA and of me (including some cool vintage footage...) as well as  Cultural Talks you may have missed or want to review.  This is a great way to support our work even if you can't attend events.
 
I look forward to dancing and exploring with you!
Helene
