Gaston’s teaching
Gaston’s grounding is in bodymechanics or how our dancing bodies work, so he is able to teach precise and fluid tango dance moves. Saturday’s class with Gaston is an open level class. But don’t let that fool you. When you chop down a tree all you have to do is ‘whack’ at it with an axe, right? No! Wrong! There are many components to this task, including sharpening your axe, and how you swing it, amongst other details. So if you want to ‘sharpen up your tango’, or just want to start off in the best way, then take this opportunity with Gaston to make your tango more precise, and more ‘tango’.
