Thanks to Daniel Trenner TANGO WEEK
Aspen, CO
November 21-28th
Most Argentine Tango dancers would never have learned tango if it
wasn't for this Johnny Appleseed of Tango. He toured all over the
United States in the 90s and 2000s; starting dance communities in his
wake. He brought thousands of dancers to Buenos Aires for their first
tango tours while he documented and cataloged the great Argentine
tango stars we all revere today. He is THE tango anthropologist of
this generation. A dance student and teacher for over 30 years,
Daniel's teaching is not only witty and fun, but a culturally
educational experience.
