Sat workshops ($50) Sat workshops and pre-milonga class with Paul ($70) Practica + Milonga $40 Paul Bavineau Bio Paul Bavineau is a warm, generous, insightful, and conscious teacher known for his smooth, elegant, social-focused style of dance. He brings a highly developed kinesthetic awareness and diagnostic ability to his teaching. He has taught prolifically since 2007, teaching over 2500 private lessons, in his home community of Portland, ME, as well as Boston and NYC. With a background in breakdancing, Paul brings an uncommon perspective and skillset to teaching Argentine Tango. Equally as important, Paul's teaching style draws heavily from spiritual and structural concepts that he believes to be universal to learning and enjoying tango, such as being in the present moment, conscious awareness, proprioceptive awareness, and a pleasure - structure consciousness. To dance well is to be steeped in the present moment with all that it offers - awareness, creativity, and pleasure. any questions please contact : info@[email protected] Web-site coming soon : TangoMaine.Dance
