SPECIAL TANGO WEEKEND/WORKSHOPS & MILONGAS featuring
Nancy LOUZÁN y Damián ESSEL
in USA and in Durham, NC for the FIRST TIME!
August 11-13, 2006
About Nancy and Damián:
Damián & Nancy like to place their focus on the
communication between dance partners, looking for
comfort in execution of the dance, technically
and expressively. They work with the different
possibilities of the tango embrace in relation to
the way of moving the legs and body.
"We like the harmonious and dynamic movements
from the most subtle to the most exciting and
vertiginous. Using all the possibilities coming
from the traditional way of dancing tango in
addition to the new elements of the new age.
In the lessons we teach the technique and the
structures which compose the tango movements. We
explain in detail and justify the origin of many
figures, which are combinations of the elements
analyzed in the structural exercises.
We work with the different possibilities of the
tango embrace in relation with the way of moving
legs and body according to the situation of
dancing on the social dance floor (milonga) or on
the stage." - Damián Essel y Nancy Louzán
Considering that the learning does not have an
end, Damián & Nancy have taken classes with
Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, Robert Herrera,
Vanina Bilous and Chicho Frumboli.
They have taught at CITA(Buenos Aires) and
Tangocamp in Greece and Sweden 2003, 2004 and 2005.
After several visits to Germany, Ireland, Italy,
Spain, Turkey, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland,
Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Israel, Korea,
Japan, Taiwan, Austria, and Holland to teach
workshops of Tango-Vals-Milonga and to perform at
the main milongas, they finally accepted to come to USA!
We are proud to be one of the two cities hosting
Damián & Nancy for the first time in USA!
