Caroline Peattie & Christopher Nassopoulos of San Francisco Workshops at Empire Dance in Manhattan Thursday July 7th & Tuesday July 12th!
Experts in close embrace, Caroline and Christopher have over nineteen years of tango dancing and fifteen years teaching experience between them. They gained practice dancing on the crowded milongas of their home in San Francisco, as well as Buenos Aires, Germany and Holland. Their forte is teaching tango dancers how to improvise in a social setting without breaking the connection of the close embrace. Genuine and unpretentious, their skilled instruction balances technique and aesthetics with relaxation and intelligent navigation. Student feedback and progress testify to their generosity of spirit and the effectiveness of their approach. Over the years, they have been invited to teach across the country: California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, New York, Massachusetts, Texas, Utah, Arizona, Alaska, Michigan, Minnesota, Florida, and Washington D.C. Their down-to-earth personalities and community-minded approach to teaching and dancing, inspire repeat visits by popular demand to these communities and numerous festivals across the country. They are regular teachers at most of the major festivals in the USA -- if you haven't caught them at one of those, catch them in JULY at EMPIRE DANCE!! http://www.carolineandchristango.com Christopher and Caroline will be guest-teaching some of Robin, Jennifer, and Ney's classes at Empire this week and next.
