Robin Thomas returns to St Louis for a special weekend of classes and milongas!
ABOUT THE CLASSES: The Friday class is open to everyone. The Saturday and Sunday classes however will be gender balanced with optional partner changes. So we are suggesting that people pre-register with a partner. We will only have space for a maximum of 15 couples in the Saturday and Sunday classes, so don't wait to register. The milongas will be open to everyone. Classes are currently about 60% full. We are expecting people from Ann Arbor,Chicago, Champaign-Urbana, Indianapolis, KC, Memphis, Minneapolis. If you don't have a partner, contact us and we will try to find you one. The workshop is intended for experienced dancers, and Robin will teach to the level of the participants of each class.

For more information email: [email protected] ABOUT ROBIN: A well-known and respected dancer and DJ, Robin's enthusiasm for Argentine tango can be seen most clearly in his wholehearted dedication to teaching. He believes that it is very important for students to dance simply and musically from the very beginning. Building that strong base of connection and musicality early, Robin believes, will allow even very new beginners to feel comfortable and confident on a crowded dance floor and will also lead to a more comprehensive and fluid understanding of more complicated techniques later on. Robin's teaching style reflects this philosophy, and his students appreciate the humorous but still down-to-earth way he presents the material.
