My family is planning on starting a dance school in Dalian, China. I'm looking for a tango instructor couple or a male instructor who would be interested in teaching there and potentially participating in the school. While long term we may have rotating instructors and trained local instructors, initially we'll need the expert instructor(s) to reside there for at least a few months to help start the program.
Although Dalian may not have as much international recognition as Beijing or Shanghai, it is one of the most beautiful cities in China, and a major tourist destination. Describes National Geographic Traveler China: "The port city of Dalian fosters an upbeat spirit forged from the zeitgeist of reform. This oasis of enviable prosperity, clean trams, buses, lawns, and streets is loved by its citizens. It has a grand and graceful character further marked by some fine examples of Russian and Japanese architecture". Dalian is quite like San Francisco, except much bigger, newer, with a population of almost 6 million. Visit http://www.dalian.cn/i18n/en/ for an introduction of the city (don't forget to check out the video). Dalian citizens are known for their zest for life and beauty. A strong manifestation of that spirit is the International Fashion Festival held every September, which includes series of collections by some of the world's top designers, forums for dress and adornments, cultural seminars and a garment & fabric expo. It also features a city carnival, when singers, dancers, musicians head for town and display their talents. We are looking for great instructors who are interested in spreading their love for tango to China, and in exploring this rapidly changing country in ways more meaningful than just being tourists. Please email me at [email protected] if you'd like to discuss. I'd appreciate your bios and anything else that shows your experience and credential. I would also appreciate suggestions of any other forums with large exposure to qualified instructors. Thanks, Beibei
