Special Workshop

 Rebecca Shulman & Evan Griffiths- June 27th-29th, 2008      

       

Rebecca is internationally regarded as one of the most influential teachers and dancers of current times. She has been dancing tango full-time for 17 years. In the 1990s, she and Daniel Trenner ignited the growth of many tango communities as a result of their inspiring teaching, including at the historic Stanford Tango Weeks. She continues to teach at festivals across the country. Rebecca lives in New York, where she is the coordinator of this country's most extensive tango program, at Dance Manhattan. She teaches every level of student there, and hosts the popular Monday night milonga. She is known for the clarity of her lead, lightness of her follow, articulate teaching, and musical expressiveness. Rebecca is a co-founder of TangoMujer, the all-women tango performance group. Her "Follower's Technique" video is renowned, as well as her other instructional videos. She is proud to be working with Evan, who moved to New York almost 2 years ago and teaches with her there every week.

 

Evan is an emerging North American talent with extraordinary musicality. An exquisite dancer, musician and instructor, Evan is enthusiastically praised across the United States. Evan has taught across the country and in Berlin. A trained musician, Evan's moves are fluid, dynamic and richly textured. Evan is also equally versatile in dancing open or close embrace, lead or follow. "Evan's glowing passion for tango is most inspiring. His understanding of the musicality and sophisticated interpretation kept my eyes glued to his dancing. As well as being the refined leader and follower he is, I trust his approach to teaching will be rewarding to all students." -Tomas Howlin, Bs. As.
