<h4><b>(Alicia will be with us from June 8 to June 15 </b>and will be
<b>available for private lessons and small group classes</b>, please
contact gulden@tangophilia.com to schedule)</h4><b><i><u>About Alicia
PONS:<br><br>
</u></b>Alicia Pons' ability to imbue the role of the woman with verve
and style has made her one of the most sought after female partners in
Buenos Aires milongas. She has a highly refined technique, and her foot
play and sensual seduction are done with humor and artistry. Alicia has
taught for the last several years with Cacho Dante, with whom she has
frequently performed. She was trained in classical dance from an early
age, and her first tango teachers were Graciela Gonzalez, whose women's
technique has shaped her precise footwork, and Tete Rusconi, one of the
most renowned milongueros of his generation. In her teaching, Alicia
emphasizes the woman's ability to not just follow, but to be an equal in
the dance.<br><br>
<br><br>
</i><h4><b>Schedule</b></h4><b>All weekend events will be held at the
Triangle Dance Studio in Durham (near RTP, directions:
