Argentine Tango Workshops with Jorge Mendoza & Anabel Saldaña Martinez

Presented by DJ El Stevito & Milonga El Abrazo de Gainesville

4 Signature Workshops, 1 Milonga plus Show, 1 Pre-Milonga Class, Private Lesson Reservations Available

We welcome an exciting new young couple from Buenos Aires. Thuy discovered Jorge's talent--his clear concepts, his keen sense of how the body works and his genuine passion for the teaching of technique on her trip to Buenos Aires in October 2016.

Now Thuy's friends in Gainesville and additional Florida towns can benefit from his teaching, as she did.

These workshops will concentrate intensively on the smaller details--the hows, the whys, the how does it feels of social dancing elements (how posture comes about, what happens in the act of embracing, what are the actions of walking, and what are the effects that one lets them happen, what is a better understanding of disassociation and the miraculous feeling and ease of body axis.) You will have a lot of material to take with you for the rest of your life.

By the way, it is a good idea to reserve your private lesson slots early. Contact Thuy Carroll to secure your spot!
