WORKSHOPS & MILONGAS
with ERIC JØRISSEN of El Corte
in Durham, NC
September 15-17, 2006 / Friday - Sunday
Refine your tango skills by studying with a
legendary instructor and dancer from Nijmegen, NL
and by practicing/dancing with tangueros from Carolinas and beyond!
About Eric:
Eric studied dance education at the Rotterdam
conservatory till 1984. After then, he decided to
specialize in Argentine tango. He began teaching
Argentine Tango in 1987, inspired by Pepito
Avellaneda, who considered him being his 'tango
son'. In 1987 Eric founded Tango El Corte, the
legendary tango center/"commune" in the Dutch
city of Nijmegen.Over the last 18 years El
Corte's fame spread out over the globe.
Attracting 25000 visitors a year, El Corte has
become one of the leading tango centers in the
world. Eric is still running El Corte with a lot
of passion and with a staff of 10 teachers.
Among the many famous fans and visitors of El
Corte, Alex Krebs and Damian Essel & Nancy Louzan
are a few that our community is familiar with!
During 3 weekends a month and during off season
Eric travels the world. From Alaska to China,
from Finland to South Africa.... The flying
Dutchman seems to have a lot of energy! Eric
loves to work with mixed level groups and is
specially keen on transmitting the aspect of
musical sensitivity and connection between partners for tango dancers.
We are very fortunate that Eric loves our
"tangophiliac" community and comes back with great enthusiasm!
