[Tango-A] NA-W CECILIA GONZALES & DONATO JUAREZ TEACH IN SAN FRANCISCO

[Gary Weinberg]

The fabulous Cecilia González and Donato Juárez return to San Francisco to
teach and perform again!

If you¹ve been struggling to learn beautiful new moves from videos, Youtube,
or otherwise, forget it! Instead, come get it directly from two of the best
dancer/teachers in today¹s tango scene.

We¹re sponsoring them because we think they have something very valuable to
offer and that you¹ll learn an amazing amount of useful, beautiful material
from them.

Cecilia has taught and performed many styles of tango with the most
well-known dancers of our time: Osvaldo Zotto, Fabián Salas, and Chicho
Frumboli, among others. Her teaching is outstanding. Her English is good,
her understanding of how to make steps work and how to help her students do
them always make people leave her classes feeling the satisfaction of being
able to do new, challenging material.

Donato is one of the best of the new generation of dancers coming out of
Argentina. He has taught and performed around the world. In recent years he
has been a star teacher at C.I.T.A., the most prestigious of all tango
festivals. He and Cecilia have been working together a lot recently and have
become one of the most sought-after couples in the tango scene.

Sign up with a partner for a discount!

You and your partner may add up your classes for higher discounts. For
example, if you both sign up for the same 6 classes, you may split the 12
class rate of $240. Signing up together does not mean you must dance
together for the whole time.  It only assists us to create evenly balanced
workshops. It is expected that we will change partners.

Prepaid Couples Registration has higher priority than Prepaid Single
Registration if the class is sold out and/or gender is unbalanced. Some
workshops may sell out! To ensure a place for yourself, sign up with a
partner.
