[Gülden Özen]

SPECIAL TANGO WEEKEND/WORKSHOPS & MILONGAS featuring
Nancy LOUZÁN y Damián ESSEL
in USA and in Durham, NC for the FIRST TIME!
August 11-13, 2006

About Nancy and Damián:
Damián & Nancy like to place their focus on the 
communication between dance partners, looking for 
comfort in execution of the dance, technically 
and expressively. They work with the different 
possibilities of the tango embrace in relation to 
the way of moving the legs and body.

"We like the harmonious and dynamic movements 
from the most subtle to the most exciting and 
vertiginous. Using all the possibilities coming 
from the traditional way of dancing tango in 
addition to the new elements of the new age.
In the lessons we teach the technique and the 
structures which compose the tango movements. We 
explain in detail and justify the origin of many 
figures, which are combinations of the elements 
analyzed in the structural exercises.
We work with the different possibilities of the 
tango embrace in relation with the way of moving 
legs and body according to the situation of 
dancing on the social dance floor (milonga) or on 
the stage."   - Damián Essel y Nancy Louzán

Considering that the learning does not have an 
end, Damián & Nancy have taken classes with 
Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, Robert Herrera, 
Vanina Bilous and Chicho Frumboli.

They have taught at CITA(Buenos Aires) and 
Tangocamp in Greece and Sweden 2003, 2004 and 2005.
After several visits to Germany, Ireland, Italy, 
Spain, Turkey, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, 
Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Israel, Korea, 
Japan, Taiwan, Austria, and Holland to teach 
workshops of Tango-Vals-Milonga and to perform at 
the main milongas, they finally accepted to come to USA!

We are proud to be one of the two cities hosting 
Damián & Nancy for the first time in USA!
