Together as a tango couple since the first time they danced together in 1998, as "Dance of the Heart" they have traveled the United States as teachers and performers, and were just booked by their Scandinavian fans for their fifth consecutive annual European tour, including their fourth annual directorship of their "Tango-In-The-Woods" week-long intensive "training camp" for couples in Sweden. They have both been devoted full-time to tango for the last five years. Besides appearing as guest tango artists in professional productions in Denver, Spokane, Aspen and Santa Fe, they have co-produced, co-directed and co-starred in their own "AIResTANGO" theatrical production, shown in nine performances in three cities from 2003-2005. In Colorado, besides teaching thousands of students in group classes since 1999, they have taught over 2000 private lessons and given countless performances in venues great and small. Their popular Dance of the Heart milongas, with Brian serving as resident DJ, have been fixtures on the Colorado tango scene since 2001. As organizers, they have pioneered with maestro Luciana Valle the acclaimed TangoIntensivo(tm) sessions in Buenos Aires, now in their third year, and just completed directing the "Colorado TangoEncuentro 2007" featuring a historic two-week visit to Boulder by legendary maestros Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne. The have been guided in their tango growth and development by hundreds of hours of advanced instruction from each of these maestros. As social dancers, they seek through their own tango encounters the underlying roots of the memorable social tango experience we all hope for. As performers, their focus is on in-the-moment improvisation to harvest the gift of the room's attention and reflect it back into the hearts of the audience with devotion and grace. As teachers, their focus is on a non-dogmatic, exploratory "integral approach" to the family of tango experiences. In their acclaimed classes, they highlight for students their own relentless investigations, in league with the world's foremost tango explorers, to push the limits of mind, body, and spirit in pursuit of a greater awareness and wider sharing of the almost infinite possibilities of the tango relationship-in-motion. Private lessons are available at $100/hr for couples. Contact us by return email or at 303-517-1024 for prices for individuals or small groups.
