Directions to Cornwallis practica / milonga:

 Cornwallis runs east-west between north park and Barrington.   it is just south of the lights at Cunard where north park becomes Agricola. if you are heading north along the east side of the commons, turn right onto Cornwallis and it is the red brick building on your immediate left. there is limited parking in the small lot behind the black metal fence, but lots on the surrounding streets. go to the green door straight ahead through the little parking lot. Google map 'the yoga loft' which is in the same building to get a visual picture.

If you can walk, you can learn to dance this sensual social dance that is embraced all around the globe. There are no wrong steps, the dance is improvised and based solely on the connection of two people and their playfulness. Singles welcome: Tango has two roles, leading and following.

Luis Bianchi y Daniela Pucci 

by Rhythm and Motion

Schedule details will be set approximately one month in advance of the workshop & the registration will officially open at that time.  

Daniela Pucci & Luis Bianchi Daniela and Luis met during her first trip to Buenos Aires. What was supposed to be Luis's last tanda for the night turned into two hours of dancing together. The magical connection they experienced that night led them to share their tango paths. Daniela left her career as an MIT engineering professor to join Luis as his tango partner. Luis left Buenos Aires to join her in New York City, where they currently reside. Daniela and Luis' tango is best described as joyful and heartfelt. Dancing together since 2006, they have quickly become known for their musicality, connection and infectious energy. As performers, they are engaging, vibrant, and emotional, whether improvising or performing one of their comic, theatrical numbers. As instructors, their ultimate goal is to help students move better, achieve greater depth of connection, and find their own voice in the dance. Students in their classes can expect thorough instruction on tango technique, encouragement to increase their body awareness, lots of personalized feedback, and a healthy dose of humor to complement the mix.
