Pre-Milonga Class taught by Kara Wenham & Javier Antar ($22)

Javier Antar has been traveling the world for the past 10 years to
inspire students and audiences through his teaching and performing of
Argentine Tango. Javier discovered tango 12 years ago, and it quickly
became a nightly obsession. While he studied with several well-known
instructors, Gustavo Naveira became Javier's most important influence,
a source of inspiration and learning.

Now, after many years of intense training in Buenos Aires, and armed
with a very strong knowledge of technique, music and a sense of the
dance as a whole, Javier is at the top level as a dancer. His message
and philosophy: conquer your own style. His musicality, grace and
elegance make Javier a riveting dancer to watch, his technical
knowledge makes his dance fluid and precise.

Javier is known for his generosity as a teacher. While his group
lessons require focus and work, he also gives students an important
degree of freedom so that students can use what they have learned and
add their own new material. Based in Buenos Aires, it is easy to find
Javier performing and teaching at local milongas or practicas, when he
is not touring. These days it's not unusual to find international and
well-respected tango instructors taking group or private lessons with
him in Canada, Europe or in Argentina.

Kara Wenham was first introduced to tango in 2000. Prior to that she
worked professionally in the theatre, with acting and dance forming
the primary components of her artistic training. She received her BFA
in theatre from Emerson College before founding the Concrete Stage
Company in Chicago.

Once immersed in the tango in Buenos Aires, her primary teachers have
been: Gustavo Naveira, Andrea Misse, Pablo Villarraza, Dana Frigoli,
Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa. For 6 years she danced
professionally with Matias Facio, with whom she participated in
International festivals in Argentina, Europe and Asia.

As a dancer Kara moves with great presence and vitality. Hers is a
subtle and communicative dance that is inspired and guided by the
music and the embrace. She aims to have the sensations of her movement
translate clearly into a personal tango aesthetic.

Kara has developed a hands-on approach to teaching that allows her
students to engage immediately to a technique that they can both feel
and understand. She has a meticulous eye for detail. Her pedagogy
empowers the students with tools needed for a solid technique,
connection, improvisation, musicality, and development of a personal
style.

She has lived for the past 9 years in Buenos Aires and teaches at
Tango Brujo. In 2009 she began her partnership with Javier Antar.
