The fabulous Cecilia González and Donato Juárez return to San Francisco to teach and perform again!
If you¹ve been struggling to learn beautiful new moves from videos, Youtube, or otherwise, forget it! Instead, come get it directly from two of the best dancer/teachers in today¹s tango scene. We¹re sponsoring them because we think they have something very valuable to offer and that you¹ll learn an amazing amount of useful, beautiful material from them. Cecilia has taught and performed many styles of tango with the most well-known dancers of our time: Osvaldo Zotto, Fabián Salas, and Chicho Frumboli, among others. Her teaching is outstanding. Her English is good, her understanding of how to make steps work and how to help her students do them always make people leave her classes feeling the satisfaction of being able to do new, challenging material. Donato is one of the best of the new generation of dancers coming out of Argentina. He has taught and performed around the world. In recent years he has been a star teacher at C.I.T.A., the most prestigious of all tango festivals. He and Cecilia have been working together a lot recently and have become one of the most sought-after couples in the tango scene.
