LAKE MERRITT MILONGA
- Saturday, June 10, 2006
Hosted by Jeanne and Gene Hill Argentine Tango Class for all levels given by Open Tango: Sean and Charity Sean and Charity share both a passion for Argentine Tango and a deep desire to pass all they know along to their students. Each class they teach has a well thought out pedagogy based on each of their experiences in teaching and learning dance and music. Sean Dockery's enthusiasm for Argentine tango has driven him to explore tango on its deepest levels over the past 3 years. He first started exploring the dance in order to help him better understand tango music. Dancing became his main source of drive and inspiration. He spent 3 ½ months in Buenos Aires where he intensively studied tango dance and music. Sean worked intensively with Homer Ladas. He has studied with many of the most avant-garde tango instructors in the world. Sean also enjoys DJing traditional and alternative mixes at milongas and practicas in the Bay Area. Charity Lebrón began dancing in 1999. She
heard about the wonders of Argentine tango and she attended her first
class with Homer Ladas. Though she quickly became obsessed with tango,
she continued to study and teach other dances including salsa, swing,
and all of the American style ballroom dances. This has given her a
unique and open-minded perspective on connection, musicality, and body
mechanics. She has developed a passion for discovery, innovation, and
sharing with others, while maintaining a respect and love for Argentine
tango’s roots. In 2005 she moved to San Francisco and began traveling
and teaching with Homer Ladas across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.
She has studied with some of the most creative and innovative teachers
tango has to offer.
