A brief bio:A true master of dancing the rhythmic tangos Jorge commands a sophisticated musicality that senses the appropriate movements for any given moment within the “compas” of the music. Heather Whitehead is one of the most insightful American experts in traditional social Argentine tango. Her teaching is based upon building the technical elements that make the communication between leader and follower meaningful, as well upon the musical interpretation that gives sense to the technique. Through a very carefully crafted curriculum of lessons, Jorge’s dance will be presented as a source of improvement and inspiration for American dancers. The results will be to provide the students with the wisdom of tango's Golden Age dancing, presented with teaching expertise and contemporary instructing methods.
