Jennifer Jaymes and Gabriel Magni bring their love for social tango to Olympia. Our goal is teach authentic social tango using accessible tools to bring out the creativity and artistry in all dancers (regardless of ability and level). We will focus on quality, phrasing, connecting/embodiment, and musicality, using the figure as a vehicle to understand these deeper concepts. We are looking to empower confident, creative, considerate social dancers! No partner is necessary for the class, we will work with all skill levels. Gabriel will be working in Olympia with World Embrace Tango from May through July and will be present in group classes at OlyDance, practicas and special events. Private lessons are available.
