ABOUT ADAM
Adam has made a mark as a young new tango talent based in New York. His
philosophy of tango is centered on the energy one feels from their partner.
This, he believes, should dictate the style and movement of the dance.
He doesn't restrict himself to either an "open" or "close" embrace. His
teaching style is very similar to his dancing.
While Robin Thomas has been his main instructor, Adam has been influenced
by Andres Amarilla, Moira & Javier, Mariana Gallassi, Brigitta Winkler, and
Tomas Howlin, as well as by countless hours of dancing in milongas
worldwide.
