Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Puerto Vallarta Tango is very pleased to announce a week of tango with Laura Pellegrino and Tomás Corbalán, November 26 – December 01, 2011. Engaging and exploratory, Laura and Tomás believe Tango is a living, breathing art-form without boundaries. That tango continues to evolve indeed is at the heart of its currency and renaissance today.
Embracing a wide array of styles, newer, more evolved ideas of teaching while still respecting many of the long-held cultural traditions of the dance means an expanded teaching format. The fusion of new and old, (the soul of the Nuevo Tango movement,) as well as the connection with one another and the music is at the heart of their dance.
No previous tango experience required for beginner classes. For pre-registration email Nanette at nanette.taylor(at)gmail.com.
