It is a great pleasure to announce the return of Maximiliano Gluzman to New York City.
Maxi is a porteño dancer who proudly continues the tradition of his hometown social dance. His professional life in tango is divided into two main areas: researching the dance of the old generation milongueros and teaching. Precisely, his teaching is about sharing the magic of the porteño dance with the rest of the world: its technique, its culture, and its mystery. A magic that, as difficult as it is to conceptualize, he has been able to transmit to his students from many countries. His outstanding qualities as a teacher and as a dancer has gained him a great following during his previous visit to New York. Maxi is returning this week and will have a busy schedule of classes and performances starting this weekend: Friday May 14th Ukrainian Village/Dance Tango Milonga 7:15-8:15 - Pre-milonga class 11PM Performance with Ann-Sophie Persson Sunday May 16th Esmeralda Milonga at Session 73 7PM Intermediate class >From 8PM and until the end of the milonga, Maximiliano will be available to teach “mini-private” classes of 15 minutes each.
