SUMMARY:PGH Tango Connection at Allegheny Landing
DESCRIPTION:PGH Tango Connection will lead this hour long\, all-levels class. The mission of PGH Tango Connection is to connect people through the passion of tango. Tango is a won­der­ful way to social­ize and meet new peo­ple while get­ting exer­cise and express­ing your­self through music. Classes focus on tango basics\, includ­ing the tango walk\, pos­ture\, embrace\, and dance floor navigation. \nAbout PGH Tango Connection\nHusband and wife team Koichiro and Yulia have been dancing Tango together since 2008. They were introduced while they were both studying at Duquesne University. Koichiro and Yulia’s extensive backgrounds in music give them a deep understanding of musicality\, incorporating this in their dance and bringing a powerful presence to their performances. Yulia’s passion for tango and her ability to capture the attention of her audience\, led by Kiochiro’s experienced and yet vividly improvisational hand\, combine on stage to poignantly reveal the essence of Tango: a man and a woman as one\, lovers for the length of each dance they perform. \nKoichiro and Yulia and their students traveled to Buenos Aires and studied with Jonathan Saavedra & Clarisa Aragon\, Julio Bassan\, Ines Muzzoppa\, Federico Naveira & Sabrina Masso\, Alejandro Larenas & Marisol Morales. The cou­ple has per­formed at var­i­ous venues\, includ­ing Tango en Huracan\, Club Atletico Milonguero 2014\, Maldita Milonga\, Santelmo 2015 in Buenos Aires\, United States\, Canada\, and Japan. In 2019 Koichiro and Yulia performed with Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Wheeling Symphony. Currently\, Koichiro and Yulia teach at the Wilkins School Community Center in Pittsburgh where they also organize weekly social dances. Their characteristic teaching styles complement each other effectively to cover fundamental as well as more advanced material thoroughly in an easy\, progressive\, and very approachable manner. \nClass Information\nAll participants should plan to arrive by 1:45 PM to check-in. If you do not arrive by 2:00 PM\, we reserve the right to forfeit your space to a walk-up participant. Classes will be held rain or shine\, except in the case of extreme weather.

SUMMARY:PGH Tango Connection at Allegheny Landing
DESCRIPTION:PGH Tango Connection will lead this hour long\, all-levels class. The mission of PGH Tango Connection is to connect people through the passion of tango. Tango is a won­der­ful way to social­ize and meet new peo­ple while get­ting exer­cise and express­ing your­self through music. Classes focus on tango basics\, includ­ing the tango walk\, pos­ture\, embrace\, and dance floor navigation. \nAbout PGH Tango Connection\nHusband and wife team Koichiro and Yulia have been dancing Tango together since 2008. They were introduced while they were both studying at Duquesne University. Koichiro and Yulia’s extensive backgrounds in music give them a deep understanding of musicality\, incorporating this in their dance and bringing a powerful presence to their performances. Yulia’s passion for tango and her ability to capture the attention of her audience\, led by Kiochiro’s experienced and yet vividly improvisational hand\, combine on stage to poignantly reveal the essence of Tango: a man and a woman as one\, lovers for the length of each dance they perform. \nKoichiro and Yulia and their students traveled to Buenos Aires and studied with Jonathan Saavedra & Clarisa Aragon\, Julio Bassan\, Ines Muzzoppa\, Federico Naveira & Sabrina Masso\, Alejandro Larenas & Marisol Morales. The cou­ple has per­formed at var­i­ous venues\, includ­ing Tango en Huracan\, Club Atletico Milonguero 2014\, Maldita Milonga\, Santelmo 2015 in Buenos Aires\, United States\, Canada\, and Japan. In 2019 Koichiro and Yulia performed with Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Wheeling Symphony. Currently\, Koichiro and Yulia teach at the Wilkins School Community Center in Pittsburgh where they also organize weekly social dances. Their characteristic teaching styles complement each other effectively to cover fundamental as well as more advanced material thoroughly in an easy\, progressive\, and very approachable manner. \nClass Information\nAll participants should plan to arrive by 1:45 PM to check-in.
