[Tango-A] Tango workshop with Maxi Gluzman in Memphis, TN - Jan. 21-23, 2011

[Octavia Perryman Ashby]

Argentine Tango Workshop
Maximiliano Gluzman

Maxi is one of the top milongueros of the new generation in Argentina. The 
tango that Maxi transmits is based upon communication between dancers in a 
continuously close embrace, musical interpretation &
respectful navigation on the dance floor. Consequently, his lessons are 
based on posture, leading & following, & musicality as a source of 
creativity. He focuses on improvisation as key to develop a dance that is 
fun & enjoyable for the couple, while still comfortably circulating in a 
limited space.
