KARA WENHAM

Recognized as an excellent dancer and teacher in Buenos Aires and
abroad, Kara's dancing and classes are founded on a modern tango salon
that incorporates the techniques and dynamics of a contemporary tango
whilst maintaining a strong connection to the roots of the dance.
Kara has developed a pedagogy that is designed to empower students by
giving them tools that focus on a solid technique, a clear idea of the
structure of the dance, connection, lead and follow, musicality,
improvisation, and the development of a personal style.
Whether the embrace is open or closed, Kara's emphasis is on how to
maintain a connection that is sensitive, communicative and sensual
between both leader and follower.
She currently lives in Buenos Aires, teaching well-attended classes at
Tango Brujo. She also gives workshops and participates in festivals
throughout Argentina, Asia, Europe, and the United States. She
participated last year in TangoMagia's 10th Anniversary Festival in
Amsterdam and has also participated in festivals in Istanbul, Zurich
and Siracusa in 2008.


NINA TATAROWICZ

Nina has spent the past 8 years performing and teaching tango in
Buenos Aires and around the world.  An accomplished leader and
follower, Nina translates the intrigue of tango into a language that
is accessible to all.  Emphasizing an intimate embrace and relaxed,
organic body movement, she provides her students with a solid
foundation in technique and dance structure.  She encourages their
creativity and the expression of their own unique personality in the
dance.  Nina returns often to Buenos Aires with opportunities to teach
and perform, and currently is based in the Chicago area as a teacher,
dancer, choreographer and event organizer.  On stage, her projects
include dancing in the production “Tango: Love and Sex” in Buenos
Aires' Teatro Avenida in 2004 with choreography by Doris Pettroni,
creating her own choreographic works in the US between 2005 - 2008,
dancing the lead role in the show “Tango is My Shadow” in Chicago with
choreography by Melina Brufman and Claudio Gonzalez, and dancing the
role of Persephone in the tango-theater piece "Eurydice Ascending" in
the Cambalache V Festival 2008 in Buenos Aires.  In addition to her
persistent exploration into the evolution of tango as a social dance
form, Nina's latest endeavors involve testing the boundaries of tango
language, harnessing its potential to touch audiences from a
theatrical point of departure.
