Surviving On The Social Dance Floor (everybody): We can all walk around a crowded room by ourselves, but for some reason, as soon as another human being is placed in front of us, we forget how to navigate. In this class, we will help you gain some repertoire so this is never an issue again. This class is strongly recommended for all levels!
Playing With Asymmetrical Rhythms (Int): Having a strong command over the music allows a dancer to provide contrast in the dance, therefore providing variety. In this class, we will provide you with the tools necessary for recognizing asymmetrical rhythms as well as simple elements you can use to bring them to life.
Shadow Ganchos (Adv.): You may be asking yourself “What is a shadow gancho?”.... well, guaranteed to blow your mind, this class will push the envelope. We’re not telling... so we hope to see you all there for this very special workshop. Of course, good gancho technique will be analyzed.
Secret Santa will be at the Christmas Ball.... You know Secret Santa, everybody is to bring a present worth £1 and Santa will distribute them during the milonga!

JenniferStarting her tango career in Portland (OR), tango has now taken Jennifer all over the world: to Europe (where she has taught in England), to Argentina and Uruguay (where she has been invited to perform at several milongas), and throughout the United States and Canada (where she has taught and per-formed extensively).
Arguably without a home, Jennifer continues to travel (and live out of her suitcase) year-round. She has taught at festivals and given workshops around the world including Montevideo, London, Toronto, Montreal, Portland OR, Seattle WA, Denver CO, New York NY, Washington D.C., Atlanta GA, Boston MA, Princeton NJ (at Princeton University), New Haven CT (at Yale University) and St. Louis MO.
Jennifer has taught with known tango masters Alex Krebs and Robin Thomas. Currently, she partners with Damian Lobato of Buenos Aires. She most recently has been seen tearing up the fl oors of Buenos Aires (where she has lived for four months).
Jennifer’s dance is characterized by her desire to strive for ver-satility. Since tango is a social dance, she believes it is integral to master not only close and open embrace, but also everything in-between. Furthermore, after having a connected and com-fortable embrace, nothing is more important to Jennifer than the music. This is transmitted in her teaching, as she approaches every class with a strong command over the music.
As a DJ, Jennifer strives for versatility as well. She does not have ONE format she uses for DJing, but adapts according to the group that is in the room. Jennifer has extensive experience DJing not only traditional milongas around the world, but also alternative milongas.
Jennifer and Damian will be also offering private classes , con-tact Jennifer for more information at [email protected]
DamianDamian started dancing in 1991 with renowned milonguero masters, including “El Pibe Palermo,” (the former partner of Carmencita Calderon). After 8 years of dancing this style, he started training with Gustavo Naveira and Mariano “Chicho” Frumboli, and began teaching tango in different cities around Argentina until 2002. Since 2002, he has taken part in Tango Discovery in Argentina, invited by Mauricio Castro and in 2003, 2004, and 2005 he was invited to tour Central America and Europe. Together with Dutch and French dancers he took part in “Tangokobinat,” a tango show presented in Germany in February 2005. In 2006, he assisted Fabian Salas in CITA, the annual tango convention in Buenos Aires. Since May 2006, he has been teaching extensively in Europe in such places as London, Rotterdam, Pisa, and Barcelona.
Damian’s dance is characterized by a masterful combination of nuevo tango elements with traditional tango aesthetics. Seamless transitions between the various elements and a keen sense of musicality are emphasized in his dance and are ap-plied in his teaching, training, and dancing.
