[Tango-A] NA-E, NA-C: Jaimes Friedgen in Pittsburgh Nov. 11-12

Wed Nov 8 10:34:04 EST 2006

JAIMES FRIEDGEN is considered by many to be one of the top
dancers and teachers in the U.S.  With extensive training
as a gymnast and a background in a variety of performing
arts, including theater, music, and many forms of dance,
Jaimes came upon tango at the age of fifteen. He has since
learned from and worked with many of the most respected
figures in the tango world and remains unclassifiable,
transcendent of style and category.  He is well respected
by his peers for his creativity, musicality and deep
insight into the inner workings of the dance.  He is also a
dynamic performer, inspiring dancers everywhere through his
rare combination of fluidity, subtle elegance, and fierce
animalistic intensity.  Check out his website at
www.the8thstyle.com.

We introduced Jaimes here last year as our inspiration for
restarting our own studies in open-embrace tango.  Although
he is only 26, he brings a depth of personal and
professional experience that belies his age.  He is truly a
remarkable tanguero.

Workshops will focus on the nuances of leading and
following, as opposed to recognizing a step.  For women of
ALL levels, this is an especially important distinction to
focus on during the weekend.
