Let’s rekindle your community’s fire

2025-2026 programs

This year I am partnering with communities to reduce stagnation, foster motivation, and offer tools for deliberate practice.

The Tango Fairytale Game Crash Couse & Playtest Practicas. An invigorating intermediate/advanced workshop followed by an extended practica. Everyone will walk away with a new methodology that will help you break out of old ruts and patterns and jumpstart better quality practicing. Prerequisites: Pivoting; leading and following sacadas; distinguish crossed vs parallel system; distinguish crossed vs open steps.

Busting through Tango Plateaus: Lecture/Interactive Workshop & Dinner-Dialogue. For all levels, a summary of effective and counterintuitive world-class learning strategies condensed into a stimulating and provocative presentation and dialogue. Each participant will get clearer on what it means for them to get to the “next level,” and what will help them do that. Prerequisites: None

Emerging Tango Leadership Incubator: Lecture & Vision Setting. If you’re a community leader trying to grow or change tango in your community: bless you! This is a thorny problem for everyone, with interdependencies in four areas that all need attention. Often, communities try to “fix” the problem by importing guest teachers. But there’s no template, there’s no one-size-fits-all; mentors can help but the work is slow and internal and requires a commitment to continuing learning, experimentation, and dialogue. Come explore and reflect on how professional relationships with tango peers can help you turn your community into the place you dream it to be. Prerequisites: By application only.

Tango can support the times we live in. This dance of connection can support a world embroiled in division and fear. But we need to develop ourselves and learn to collaborate in new ways to claim its potential. Old patterns need to be reexamined and refreshed.

As an Argentine tango teacher, for over 25 years I’ve been asking: how must we change and grow, to create communities that are a true benefit to ourselves, each other, and the world?

As a local teacher, you are doing important, front-line, difficult work. Whether you are just starting a tiny tango practice out of your home, leading a campus club, or trying to build a local teaching practice, let’s discover how you can benefit from the surprising and impactful insights, tools, and practices I’ve developed. Let’s embrace the changes in the air — while honoring the profound history of tango.
