SUN VALLEY, CA 91352 OR PAY AT THE DOOR FABIAN SALAS is one of the true innovators in modern tango. An original, dedicated to discovering and perfecting new ideas within this age-old dance form. It is a tribute to this quest for exploring new ground, that a new generation of performers and teachers, have become his students, and his concepts have been adopted by many of today's stars of the stage. The ultimate compliment, however, is the throngs of newcomers (beginners and experienced alike) from Argentina and all over the world, who flock to his classes in Buenos Aires, and are integrating his principles into their dancing at the milonga. Moreover, he has developed a thorough and methodical approach to imparting these concepts. Legions of his followers in North America, who have whole-heartedly embraced his teachings, will attest: turn simple, fundamental building blocks (such as walking, turning) into the most complex combinations of movements between two people dancing. All within a context of improvisation and social tango with any partner.
