NON-CLUB TANGO NEWS

Daniel Tuero from Buenos Aires with AJA FENN from UK/USA

Melbourne, April 10th and 11th.  Daniel Tuero belongs to the new generation of Argentinian tango dancers and teachers who understands Tango from a different point of view. Dani considers natural and comfortable movements to be essential in enjoying the dance and to feel the connection with one's partner and the music. Technique and mechanics are important when we dance, and he has a thorough understanding of these; but so is our interpretation of the music. Dani's main education is based on the teachings at El Motivo Tango with Luciana Valle, Dina Martinez and Valencia Batiuk. Some of the master teachers who taught and inspired him for the last 10 years are Gustavo Naveira, Mariano Chicho Frumboli, Sebastian Arce and Mariana Montes. Most recently in Buenos Aires, Dani taught at Tango Brujo; for the past year he has been touring and teaching in Europe, refining his clear, structured and approachable teaching style that has something to offer for dancers of all levels and styles. Find out more about him on his website, http://www.danieltuero.com.ar/ which also has links to several performance videos.
