Jean Pierre will be joining us this month from Santa
Cruz. He will be teaching the media vuelta and

Carolina Rozensztroch has been a professional dancer
and teacher for fifteen years. She began her career as
a modern dancer and performed at more than forty
venues as company member. In her home Country,
Argentina, she devoted herself to study Tango with the
great masters. Carolina absorbed the essence of this
dance, dancing with the old tangueros at the milongas
in Buenos Aires. For the past eight years Carolina
lived in New York City. There, she launched and
taught an Argentine Tango Program at FIT recreation
(State University of New York), and at Rockefeller
University Gym. In addition she created and run a
Tango School at the Aurora Studios. When teaching
Tango, Carolina incorporates elements of modern dance
and ballet, to help students gain precision and make
their dance more exquisite and powerful. Recently
moved to San Francisco, she looks forward to continue
transmitting her passion for this dance.
Olivia Levitt has been a professional ballet dancer
for 18 years. She was first introduced to Pilates at
the age of 14 to recover from a dance related injury.
She began her training with master trainer Elizabeth
Larkam in St. Francis Hospital, one of the founding
Pilates programs in the Bay Area.
As a professional dancer, Olivia continued her
practice in New York City, where she also discovered
GYROTONIC® in 1993. She trained with Leda Franklin,
master trainer and owner of Studio Riverside. In
1998, Olivia returned to the Bay Area and became a
certified Pilates trainer under Kim Holmes, director
of Symmetry of Movement. In 2000, Olivia became
certified in GYROTONIC®. She continues to train as
well as teach at San Francisco GYROTONIC® and studies
with master trainers Debra Rose, Nora Hebert and
Tamara Yoneda.
Jean-Pierre Sighé was born in Cameroon (West-Central
Africa). He grew up in a cultural environment where
dancing is part of normal living. Equipped with his
African dancing background, he later discovered the
Latin dances and immediately felt their appeal. He got
involved with Salsa dancing (for pure fun) in
Europe.In the U.S. he pursued the passion of Salsa
dancing and decided to learn other Latin dances as
well, such as Rumba, Cha-Cha in the Ballroom context.
It is then that he was invited to discover the
Argentine Tango in 1998.
He intensely and exclusively studied with his first
teacher(s) Alberto Paz and his partner Valorie Hart
for several months.Solidly grounded by Alberto and
Valorie's instructions, he later intensified his
learning with other Tango Masters such Carlos Gavito
(and Marcela), Fabian Salas, Chicho (Frumboli), Julio
(and Corina), with occasional classes with Eduardo and
Gloria, Fernanda and Guillermo, El Indio. He has been
dancing Tango now since 1998. Every one of these Tango
Masters opened an enriching window in his mind.
His motivation for teaching Tango derives from his
desire to share with others the beauty of this
wonderful gift to the world from the Argentinean
people. He has made a commitment to himself to
FAITHFULLY TRANSMIT to others what he had had the
privilege to receive directly from the Tango Masters,
that is, the spirit of Tango and not just the steps
and some futile patterns.
