[Tango-A] NA-E: Sharna & Isaac - Dec. 29 in Pittsburgh, PA

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

SHARNA FABIANO has over twenty years of dance experience,
the last decade of which has been devoted to the cultural
study of Argentine tango. She is regarded as an innovator
who has remained connected to the tango's roots while
exploring its ever-changing modern aesthetics and
vocabulary.  Based in Washington, DC, she travels
frequently as a guest instructor around North America and
Europe.  In 2003, Sharna joined the internationally
acclaimed TangoMujer Dance Company, a group of all-women
tango dancers based in NYC, and in 2006 she established
Sharna Fabiano Tango Company in Washington, DC. She has
performed her work at the prestigious Jacob's Pillow Dance
Festival, and in NYC, San Francisco, Berlin, Dusseldorf,
and Hamburg, Germany, as well as in DC. Sharna was named to
Dance Magazine's "25 To Watch List" for 2008. Her written
articles on the depth and mystique of social tango have
been widely read and translated into several languages.

ISAAC OBOKA is an extraordinarily gifted young tango dancer
from Denver, Colorado. With the smooth, effortless quality
attributed to the most sophisticated social dancers, his
tango is full of surprises, originality, and humor! For the
past several years, Isaac's passionate quest for the heart
of the tango has taken him to hundreds of dance floors
across the US, and to Buenos Aires for an intensive study
of three months, where he was greatly inspired by the
innovative dancing of Argentine artists Chicho
Frumboli/Eugenia Parrilla and Sebastian Arce/Mariana
Montes. Since his return to the US in early 2006, he has
taught and performed in over a dozen cities including NYC,
Denver, Montreal, and Toronto. He is now based in
Washington, DC.
