Guest teachers: Jorge & Anabel from Buenos Aires
These very popular teachers are back in Gainesville for their 3rd consecutive year prior to touring Florida and then Europe. Private lessons will be available and suggested/encouraged (Call/message Thuy to schedule privates)
These friendly, approachable teachers are known for their unique way of explaining/demonstrating/drilling classic/advanced ways of elegant posture, embrace, walking, and musicality, in new/simple ways such that the average person can more easily understand how it feels in their own body and put into their own dance right away.
We will also have Sandra Angel here with her Mussa Collection Tango Shoes and Clothes from Orlando, so take advantage of her while she is here April 6/7.
