More about Homer and Cristina Ladas
Homer and Cristina started their tango obsession long before they met each other. Each with over 11 years of experience emphasizing a fusion of social tango ideologies... As teachers they are committed to creating a positive class environment where small epiphanies can & do occur in their students.
Homer & Cristina prefer to not use the term 'nuevo' in their approach to tango or in their class titles. Instead, they like to dance & teach a variety of connected, musical, dynamic, interesting, creative, liberating, etc, ideas/technique/movement. They both work towards the fusion of all tango concepts via the 'one tango' philosophy in an attempt to reduce barriers that may inhibit themselves or other folks from really finding their own dance...
It has been said, on more than one occasion, that few dancing couples improvise with such skill, personality, and fluidity of movement. Married since May 2002 they continue to explore deeper facets of their relationship to each other and to tango.
The incomparable Homer and Cristina will teach weekend workshops, and perform at Nocturne (Sat 15th) and Tango Lounge (Fri 14th).
