>From Eray Yuksek: I am very proud and very excited to announce the weekend of workshops & shows with METIN YAZIR on March 4th, 5th, 6th! This weekend will be a very special one for me because Metin Yazir is the one from whom I learned almost everything I know about Tango. His teaching technique is *unique*, which makes tango very simple, clear and comfortable. Rather than teaching steps and patterns, Metin conveys to his students specific tango concepts, giving them all the ingredients that make up a great tango dance, from basic to the most intricate. I strongly believe that Metin is a *NOT-TO-BE-MISSED* opportunity for any tango dancer. I and many others learned from him in a *very short time*, why can't you...

He uses imagery and metaphor sometimes humorous, sometimes sexual, to get his point across. His life story is an inspiration to anyone who feels lost or confused. He was one of the main originators of tango in Turkey, a country where he says he is treated like royalty with movie cameras following him around wherever he goes Metin, the magician, dances with particular sensitivity and musicality he makes even beginners look elegant and beautiful. Metin has an exceptional talent as teacher: he will introduce to you the secrets of lead and follow with a very precise observation of individual problems and with lots of humor, energy and temperament...
