Tango Weekend Workshop with Dan Boccia

UAF Social Dance Club and Fairbanks Tango welcome visiting instructor Dan Boccia!

Dan draws on 25 years of dancing and studying tango throughout the US to help students move fluidly and connect deeply with each other and the music, finding their own personal expression and developing skills for true improvisation and creativity. He is a nationally recognized DJ and social dancer who thrives in the dynamic atmosphere of milongaswherever he travels. Over two decades of experience with Rolfing, yoga, and other bodywork modalities inform his teaching. Dan encourages a relaxed, comfortable connection to facilitate natural movement throughout the dance, helping students find ease and flow in their movements. His deep knowledge of tango music makes him a reliable guide to help dancers create a dynamic, musical experience, adding their own personal expression.

Singles and beginners are welcome! This workshop will be fun and beneficial for all levels; we rotate partners during classes. Festivities begin Friday evening, Dan will build on introduced concepts and skills throughout the weekend.
