Tomas Howlin will teach a Argentine Tango workshop in Iowa City the
first weekend in November, on the 4th, 5th and 6th.
Tomas Howlin is a professional Argentine Tango dancer, performer and
teacher. Each of his movements is deeply inspired by the traditional
aesthetic that has characterized the style and elegance of this dance
for the past sixty years. He is a patient and devoted teacher with a
unique method and approach.
Tomas was born and grew up in Buenos Aires, where he studied with many
renowned master teachers of all generations: Graciela Gonzalez, Gustavo
Naveira, Jose Brahemcha, Pepe Avellaneda, Puppy Castello and Vanina
Bilous. His knowledge and pedagogy are unique and exceptional. Tomas
teaches a natural, relaxed, comfortable, thoughtful and skillful tango:
one that is unique for each person. Tomas is appreciated for his sharp
eye, gentle humor, and accessibility.
He has the honor to have partnered Graciela Gonzalez, Luciana Valle,
Florencia Taccetti, Brigitta Winkler, Silvana Grill and Chantal
Dauphinais.
Tomas is among the few teachers traveling worldwide who taught regularly
in the most well known Academies of Buenos Aires. He worked for the
"National University of Buenos Aires", and for the "Secretary of Culture
of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires". Furthermore, he teaches
regularly at international tango festivals in Europe and the US.
During the last year Tomas has been performing and teaching in Canada
and in the U.S.A. He was instrumental in the filming of the tango film
"Macadam Tango". The great highlight was being chosen to dance for the
"Summit of the Americas" in Quebec City, with thepresence of the heads
of state of 34 countries, including President George W. Bush and Dr.
Fernando de la Rua, President of Argentina. It was a great honor to
be asked to perform for this event.
