About the teachers:
 Jaimes Friedgen is coming back to Houston! This time for a longer period of
time-three weeks. He is going to be here with his teaching partner, Christa
Rodriguez;
  Jaimes is one of the most inspiring tango dancers in the United States.
Over many years he has studied with a wide variety of teachers, but his two
main influences are Angel Echeveria and Mariano "Chicho" Frumboli. He is
sought out for his creativity and deep insight into the inner workings of
the dance. A dancer of extraordinary accomplishment, Jaimes is hailed for
his beautiful movement and musicality. He is driven to be a full time tango
teacher by his love of watching people continually grow and blossom through
their exploration of tango, and feels very fortunate to be a part of that
process;
  Christa has been dancing for over many years, she is an extraordinary
teacher and dancer. She is one of the most influential dancers in the city
of Seattle and serves as the primary inspiration for a whole generation of
dancers. Christa takes great pride in the progress of her students and
continues to pursue her study of dance as a student and a teacher.

 Their visit will be a huge contribution to Houston's tango community, and
will further our dream of creating more tango dancers and taking the dance
skills of those who already dance to the next level.

In addition to all the classes & workshops we are going to have both
teachers at our practicas and milongas
