Workshops Schedule with Ney and Jennifer.
Ney and Jennifer are dedicated to inspiring students to tango with feeling, musicality and connection - as danced in Buenos Aires. Their classes are relaxed and lively. They equally emphasize women's and men's roles, stressing technique with every step shown.
Jennifer believes contact facilitates communication profound beyond words. Emphasizing technique, employing vivid images, she focuses on posture, connection and musicality. She advises followers to develop the balance between being too light and too heavy.
Ney is known for innovative teaching methods and passion for teaching. His instruction is sought by beginning and advanced dancers, teachers and choreographers around the world. He has studied tango with masters of Villa Urquiza tango.
