FEB/MARCH 2011 
AS some of you already know, After 10 years teaching at  SCDC and also directing their tango program, i decided to start my own classes with the following i created during all these years.

I am very excited with this new project and i hope you will join me.

I will have all the freedom now to create my own classes, with different topics, workshops, guest teachers and all kind of ideas I want to share with you.


I will start with a SIX-WEEK COURSE on WEDNESDAYS starting on FEBRUARY 16 th, before my Canadian tour in April. 
The course will consist on an ongoing workshop that will explore different aspects of the tango universe  through these topics:

The embrace, the walk, musicality, connection, sequences, dynamics, etc

Each class will cover some aspects that we will apply to the sequence of the day. By the end of the course everything will be integrated.


The course will be divided in two levels: INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCE
 The first one is designed for students that are learning the concepts and need more time and detail in the explanations and the repetition.

The second one is for advanced dancers that want to move faster and are already familiar with the complex structure and are ready for more challenges.

If you don't know which one is your level, please send me a brief description of your tango experience and i let you know which level is the best for you.

** advanced level can be taking in couples but is not necessary
** advanced level admission under approval
