2005 World Argentine Tango Finalists COLETTE HEBERT & RICHARD COUNCIL make their first visit to Pittsburgh, PA!
Colette & Richard of Miami dance a classic salon style that emphasizes the elegance of tango. Their precise footwork and beautiful lines recall the great Argentine teachers that inspired the tango revival in the late 80s. For official bio info and demo, visit www.colette-richard.com/bio.htm Heres my personal info on them. This couple has an excellent salon tango that avoids the pitfalls of fantasia. They have very playful and musical footwork. Watching them teach in Kent, I was most surprised by the challenging vocabulary they got beginners to do without overwhelming them. They also emphasized the important details that keep open-embrace looking good, not like bad fantasia. PRIVATES are available after the workshops for $75 plus floor fee with both Richard and Colette a great value for couples.
