Atlanta Dance Instructors:
Danny Waggoner and Leslie Hodges
Intro and Bio:
We teach the social version of Argentine Tango, one of the world's most sensual partner dances. In contrast to the stage version of tango, the social dance is entirely improvised. As the man navigates the floor, moving with the flow of other couples along the line of dance, he provides his partner with clearly indicated opportunities for steps and figures of varying size, tempo and energy. The unspoken dialogue as partners respond to one another's expressive interpretations and energy through the connection of their bodies has led to the description of this dance as "a conversation without words".
We discovered Argentine Tango in 1995 and have been dancing it as often as possible ever since. During this time we have studied with some of the best teachers of the dance. We have spent our last three vacations in Buenos Aires, the birthplace of the tango, dancing with the people there and deepening our knowledge and appreciation of the culture and the dance.
Because of the pleasure we have found in learning and dancing tango, we wish to share it with anyone who would like to learn. We teach a weekly class on Tuesday nights in downtown Decatur at Several Dancers Core Studio. Over the last few years we have helped to create an active group of social tango dancers who get together to dance several times a week. This group is made up of a diversity of ages, nationalities and backgrounds, joined together by a common passion for the Argentine Tango.
