Homer & Cristina Ladas
Workshops in Budapest, 2009, July 31 - August 2
We are more than happy to guest Homer and Cristina Ladas for the first time in Budapest. It has been said, on more than one occasion, that few dancing couples improvise with such skill, personality, and fluidity of movement.
Homer and Cristina started their tango obsession long before the 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 and Cristina are considered to be a cult tango nuevo dancers, however, they themselves 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...
