Sean & Charity finished their rotation with challenging work on musicality.
No class this Saturday - enjoy your holiday weekend. We next meet April 10 for workshops with Marcelo Solis.
Argentine tango dancer, choreographer and instructor who led Modesto's first Argentine tango workshop, returns. Born in Rosario, Argentina, he began tango in 1986 at age 20. He stresses exercises and explaining dance fundamentals. He has taught and performed in Argentina, USA, Canada and Europe. Currently active in the Bay Area, he gives regular group classes, special workshops, and private lessons.
