Connect With Tango Workshop - Co-taught with Luis Garza & Devi Pride
February 10-12 2017
Hosted at The Tannery Arts Center in Santa Cruz, CA
Tango will inspire us to use our minds and bodies differently, exploring how you lead and follow, dynamics of connection and the challenge of learning new skills together. Tango is an energy-centered dance in which we can learn about subtle shifts and points of contact and expression. Work with non-verbal communication and physical closeness. Breath together, move together, and laugh. No dance experience required.

Using his background in both art forms Luis excels in explaining dance in a way that anyone can understand. He has danced Argentine Tango for over 10 years and has taught for 6 years.

Devi found a new life in the world of social dancing, first with Salsa and then Argentine Tango 8 years ago. Together Luis and Devi host a weekly Tango event at the Tannery World Dance and Cultural Center in Santa Cruz.
