MARIA ELENA YBARRA
Maria was born in the province of Chaco, Argentina. With more than a decade of experience dancing and teaching tango, she has become recognized as one of the top female tango dancers in the NYC area, and has taught locally, as well as in Buenos Aires. She is noted for her attention to detail and her exquisite technique.
ROBIN THOMASA well-known and respected dancer and DJ, Robin's enthusiasm for tango can be seen most clearly in his wholehearted dedication to teaching. He believes that it is very important for students to dance simply and musically from the very beginning. Building that strong base of connection and musicality early, Robin believes, will allow even very new beginners to feel comfortable and confident on a crowded dance floor and will also lead to a more comprehensive and fluid understanding of more complicated techniques later on. Robins teaching style reflects this philosophy, and his students appreciate the humorous and down-to-earth way he presents the material. On the rare occasion that he is neither teaching nor DJing, Robin can always be seen on the dance floor, either working to expand his own understanding of tango, or own understanding of tango, or simply enjoying the connection he works so hard to share with others. He is originally from Belfast, Ireland and now lives in New York City.
