ROBIN THOMAS & MARIKA LANDRY
in St Louis, MO
Jan 31 - Feb 3, 2008

Robin & Marika, one of the more popular teaching couples
in North America, will be in St Louis for an extended
4-day weekend of classes and milongas. Don't miss this 
exciting opportunity to see them in St Louis!

A well-known, respected and much loved dancer and DJ,
Robin's enthusiasm for Argentine tango can be seen
most clearly in his wholehearted dedication to teaching.
He believes that it is very important for students to
dance simply and musically from the very beginning. His
clear and down to earth teaching style has created a
large loyal following in NYC.

Recognized for her precision, fluidity and interpretive
range, Marika is much sought to teach technique for women.
In class she shares techniques to help one achieve relaxed
postural balance and to develop controlled articulation and
correct placement of the body and feet for directional
accuracy as well as attractive lines, poetic ornamentation
and ease in complexity and rhythm. She is also concerned
with
heightening ones sensitivity to connection and the subtle
transference of cues between partners. With a strong belief
that through tango a woman can express her femininity,
Marika
inspires sensuality and elegance.
