This Wednesday August 6th - Sunday August 9th (FLING WEEKEND) studio TANGO montreal is happy to welcome back to Montreal REBECCA SHULMAN with EVAN GRIFFITHS classes for intermediate and advanced tango dancers
REBECCA SHULMAN has been teaching tango for 17 years and is internationally regarded as one of the most influential teachers and dancers of our current times. She is known for the clarity of her lead, the lightness of her follow, her articulate teaching and musical expressiveness. Students everywhere seek Rebecca's clear instruction on improvisation, technique, adornments and musicality. In the 1990's Rebecca along with Daniel Trenner ignited the growth of many tango communities in North America as a result of their inspiring teaching; many teachers in NY, Montreal and across North America have studied with Rebecca. Rebecca is the coordinator of the US' most extensive tango program at Dance Manhattan in NY, where she teaches and where she has been hosting their popular Monday night milonga for more than 12 years. EVAN GRIFFITHS is an emerging North American talent. A versatile dancer with extraordinary musicality, Evan is enthusiatically praised across the US for his fluid and dynamic qualities and for his richly textured dance. He is equally versatile in both the close and open dance frames, and dancing both lead and follow. Evan is often invited to teach, perform, play piano and DJ at North America's most prestigious tango festivals and has given workshops throughout the US, and in Berlin. An accomplished pianist, Evan plays regularly with the Portland based Tango Berretin orchestra, teaches tango music to musicians, has directed various festival tango orchestras and often DJs as well.
