One of New York City's most popular Tango instructors, DJ, and Dancer.
Adam Hoopengardner (Cleveland's Own)
returns to Cleveland, Ohio to see his family and to teach a tango
lesson at a One More Step Studio in South Euclid, Ohio. With a milonga
on both Saturday night and
Sunday night, at Roseangles restaurant
Adam is calling his workshop, "FROM MILONGUERO TO INFINITY",
Adam & Ciko
are unique to the North American, and especially to New York, tango
scene.
They have had the opportunity to study with teachers from all over the
world, who come from very different ideologies, which has allowed and
fostered their own approach and character of dance. Their dance has
evolved by blending these outside influences they had with their own
personal growth as a couple.
Their style is defined by its sensuality, musicality & creative
playfulness.
They emphasize the importance of a good technique with a comfortable,
musical walk over complicated moves. Their goal as teachers is to bring
their students’ personality out in their dance by teaching them the
music and the concept of countless possibilities the dance offers. They
cannot over emphasize the value of active followers which makes the
dance much more interactive and fun. When teaching they are able to
transmit their mastery of the complex concepts of tango while retaining
their innate humor and humility.
