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 JONS CLASS - Dear Jon and Judy: Have you spent hundreds (or even thousands of dollars) on tango lessons and have forgotten 90%? Do you love tango but frustrated that you're not getting it? Welcome to tango teaching in the USA. Let's make it simple. Jon and Judy both understand and more importantly, clearly articulate tango as it's done Buenos Aires, with an emphasis on musiciality and the embrace. They don't teach a lot of fancy show moves that none of us can do anyway and choreographed patterns that make sense if you trying to audition for the next Tango Argentina stage show. Their private lessons are reasonable and they will definitely improve your dancing. Bob Lansburg, San Francisco, CA. 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 _____________________________
