Greeting from the Taunus Mountains in Germany!  

I am here at the Tango Hotel Ta-Taa as special guest teaching Argentine Chacarera during the tango seminar weekend of Horacio "Pebete" Godoy and Maricel Giacomini: a real pleasure and honor!  On Monday, June 2 I'll head to Hannover to DJ for an Open Air Milonga and then fly to the US.  I'll be in South Carolina for two weeks with my family but also teaching tango before heading to California for the first Unit of the new ANAR DANA West Coast 2025/26 project June 21-22.

 

1) Wedding Celebration from Fez, Morocco

2) Palestinian Dabke

3) Greek Taverna Rebetiko of the 1930's

4) Zeybek dances of the Aegean region of Turkey

5) Dances of the Bashkir people

6) Urban mid century Kereshme dances of Iran

7) "Tanovar" a semi-classical dance from Uzbekistan

 

We are excited to announce that we will go on tour in June 2026 to participate in the ANAR DANA Germany recitals in Göttingen and Leipzig and then continue on to the Republic of Georgia to participate in an international folk dance festival.  In the fall of 2026 we will have our own recitals in the Bay Area and Seattle.

 

 

 

1) Join Unit 1-3  live or Online from anywhere in the world for and learn the basic building blocks that make the styles of each of these dance traditions.

2) Join the whole program and participate in the performances and tours.

3) Join us for our online Cultural Talks where we explore the history, geography, culture, music and dance for each of the dance styles listed above.

4) Support us on Patreon.  Creating a new program each season is a huge undertaking including research, teaching, choreographing, writing and costume construction, administration and more.  As work in the arts becomes increasingly difficult and grant opportunities are drying up YOU can make a big difference by supporting ANAR DANA with a Patreon membership...and gain access to our ever-growing online archives.  Your help makes a difference!

 

 

This summer while I am on the West Coast I will also be DJing at milongas and teaching private lessons before I head back to Buenos Aires in August. 

We can help you to emprove your tango with private lessons that we teach in the studio in my house. We can help you with your visit to Buenos Aires with individual tourism assistance: classes, tours, taxi dancers, transport, shopping, sight-seeing and a room for rent in my house in Villa Crespo.

 

Here is a recent review a student of mine posted:

 

 

 

Awaken Your Dancing Body! continues to inspire me profoundly.  Even though I have been teaching it twice a week since the beginning of the pandemic it still gives me an unending source of inspiration and enthusiasm! People around the world join for this hour of deep exploration of the body.  This is a class for all levels of experience and capability.  In fact we have had people using the class to recover from major injuries and hip replacements. People who attend regularly have seen a big difference in their bodies.
