For Directions & Membership Info: www.WoodstockTango.com. JUDY MARGOLIS & JON MARTIN - Living and breathing tango is how Judy y Jon describe their lives. They believe the soul of tango is found between a man and a woman dancing on a public floor. They are known for the intensity of their dance and for their excellent social dance style. They are acclaimed for their clear teaching technique and individual attention to students. They believe that pasos (steps) are tools that help us learn technique which frees us to explore the deeper meaning of the dance. What is more, Jon and Judy are great communicators--witty, energetic, and fun. COMMENT FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAKEN JUDY Y JON'S CLASS - Dear Jon and Judy: I have been pondering my private lesson with you yesterday, and why it was so hugely valuable and uniquely enjoyable. As I'm sure you know, students always respond to teachers who want them to learn and grow. I certainly felt your encouragement, felt I was in good hands, and appreciated the easy atmosphere you established for learning. To be able to dance -- at length -- with a master (a teaching master as well as a dance master), to have a second pair of masterful eyes watching and correcting, to hear the concepts conveyed in the clearest of language, to have so much material covered, and covered well, to get misunderstandings of technique cleared up, to be able to say "Eureka! Now I get it!" and to be smiling the whole time -- that's the richest of experiences. Be well and best regards, Barbara Davis _____________________________ Just a note to say that Jon and Judy gave a most SPECTACULAR performance last Thursday at the Tango Fireworks festival in Los Angeles. They were asked to perform before the 200-300 conference participants from the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia, and before some of the best tango dancers and performers in the world. Jon and Judy made Arizona look fantastic-exhibiting wonderful, highly original choreography, stage presence, style and grace. When the song came to an end, it was difficult to contain my excitement at their triumph. We should all be very proud of the incredible skills they have acquired in their years of study both in the U.S. and in Buenos Aires, mastering both tango for performance as well as the very different, but perhaps more important, tango for social settings and milongas. . . .
