Gainesville Tango W/E: Jorge Mendoza & Anabel Martinez Mar 10-11, 2018

On March 10-11, 2018 we welcome back to Gainesville very popular teachers with all new drills and exercises.

Jorge Mendoza https://www.facebook.com/jorge.mendoza.9862, Anabel Saldaña Martinez https://www.facebook.com/anabelsaldanamartinez, and baby tanguero Ignacio from Buenos Aires!

These friendly and exciting teachers were discovered by our own Thuy Carroll on one of her trips to Buenos Aires and she loved them so much she invited them to come teach in the U.S. Last May they came for the first time and were a big hit and toured many cities in Florida. (And last August Jorge was also Supervisor of Judges at the World Championships in Buenos Aires!)

They are noted for their elegant and musical style of dancing close embrace, and their unique teaching methodology bringing high level technical concepts to social dancers using simple and easy to understand explanations, training drills and demonstrations. After they left here last year, the overall level of social dancing in Gainesville was noticeably higher with many improved postures, embraces, walking and musicality at the milongas. (Be sure to book a private lesson with them.)

So save these dates on your calendar now. There will be all new drills and exercises covering these vital skills.
