Thomas Howlin Workshops – May 25-28th

May 14, 2012

One of the most popular contemporary teachers and performers in North America today, Tomas Howlin, returns to the Bay Area.

Thomas HowlinA professional Argentine Tango dancer, performer, and teacher with over 20 years experience, Tomas Howlin is steeped in the traditional aesthetic that has characterized the elegance of tango for the past 60 years. A native of Buenos Aires, his career began in well-known tango clubs of Buenos Aires, when tango was resurging from a long sleep after the Golden Age of Tango. His most influential teachers were Ernesto Pupi Castello, Jose Brahemcha, Gustavo Naveira, Graciela Gonzalez, and Pepe Avellaneda.

A patient and dedicated teacher, Tomas’ unique method is grounded in his Argentine cultural roots. His students have described Tomas as an inspiring teacher who makes tango accessible in a continually renewing way. Tomas offers a portal to traditional tango to the contemporary tango community. He approaches students with gentle humor, engaging them in the process of discovering the seemingly ungraspable tango. His classes are in high demand at festivals throughout North America and Europe.
