Argentine Tango Workshops with Daniel Trenner! January 30th-February 3th |
|
 Daniel Trenner has been a professional dancer since 1979 and discovered tango in 1986. He founded Bridge to the Tango (which became Dance Traveler), a dance tour company, which has taken 1500 people dancing in 7 countries, including Salsa in Havana, Cuba; BttTV, a video production company with more than 100 volumes of instructional video; The Tango Catalogue, which was for seven years the source for all things tango in North America; and he has led dance workshops in more than 120 cities in 13 countries. These projects were born out of his desire to facilitate contact between social dance communities. His Bridge to the Tango videos are now considered important archival records by tango enthusiasts.Daniel’s work with the Argentine tango includes dance partnerships with Rebecca Shulman, Florencia Taccetti, Elina Roldan, Anne Marie Duquette, Mariela Franganello, Cynthia Zebergs, and Zoraida Fontclara. He has studied the tango since 1986 with such notable teachers as Miguel and Nelly Balmecera, Antonio Todaro, Juan Bruno, Mingo and Esther Pugliese, Rodolfo and Maria Ceiri, Gustavo Naviera, Olga Besio, Eduardo Arquimbau, Pupi Castello & Graciela Gonzalez, Miguel Zotto, Tomi O'Connell, Pedro 'Tete' Rusconi, and Maria Villalobos. Daniel’s background also includes a Masters in Education in Dance from Lesley College, in Cambridge, Mass. in 1984, studies in bodywork and developmental movement at The School for Body Mind Centering in Amherst, Mass., a 30 year membership in the Dance New England Community, and a three year apprenticeship with Tap master Leon Collins (82-84). As a teacher Daniel is dedicated to social dance in both its traditional and experimental forms. He believes that dance is a vehicle for building community, and that it can be an effective tool for sustaining energy and focus in groups of all kinds. Daniel is currently based in Florence, MA, where he teaches tango, tap, salsa and other forms of dance.
