Previous Workshops

Our journey in Argentine Tango continues as I return to the D.C. area on April 6th – 15th, 2019,  I will be offering Private Lessons for singles, couples, a small group of 4 couples in DC area.

Dance like a milonguero from Buenos Aires!

Our Focus will be on walking, connecting, musicality, and dancing on the social dance floor in comfort. we will also explore the external vocabulary of tango, vals, milonga, and dancing it to the requirement of the social floor within the music. This would encourage your creativity in the dance without restrictions and will help you to become a universal dancer.

After so many years of dancing (since 1995) and years of teaching tango, (since 2003) I learned that almost all the figures could be danced in an embrace in a small or crowded spaces without interfering the flow of the dance floor and I will help you to achieve that!

I also teach the technique of stage dancing, performing, figures, nuevo style, and choreograph for the performers as well in Argentine tango, other Latin dances, and Ballroom.

Juan Cantone: 

Since 1992 Juan Cantone began his development in traditional tango with renowned teachers such as Gloria and Eduardo Arquimbaund, Facundo and Kelly Posadas, Migo and Esther Pugliese, and Cacho Dante and Susana Miller, to later be introduced to the new generation of tango with instructors such as Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, Gabriel Angio and Natalia Games, Eduardo Moyano, Graciela Gonzales, Chicho Frumboli, and Pablo Villarraza and Dana Frigoli, Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa. From 2000-2003 he was part of Tangueros Unidos, where he carried out together with Rodolfo Aguerrodi and Miho Omaki the investigation and development of an integrative teaching method of conceptualized movement in relation to tango dance. Other related disciplines which enriched his dancing were: contact improvisation in the Rojas Cultural Center; pilates, partenaire techniques, flamenco, theatrical dance, and yoga (Ashtanga and Iyengar techniques) with teachers Finn and Andrea Martinez, continuing his training with Popy Villanueva; and classical dance in the hands of Elena Doria Medina and with Luis Baldasarre.

In March of 2001, Juan Cantone and Sol Orozco, partner at time, under the auspices of Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, created and developed the El Esquinazo Cultural Center. As Artisitic Director, and since its creation, Juan Cantone determines the general direction of the Cultural Center’s progress, offering the community a space for development and recreation through the different disciplines taught there. Due to his renown and artistic trajectory, he was selected to represent Buenos Aires as choreographer of the house dance corps for Worldwide Scout Jamboree X, Chile 2000. Also,For Pan-American Jamboree XII, he was invited once again to choreograph the dance corps, this time also in charge of coordinating the dance workshops for youths and adults. The event closed with a performance by Juan Cantone and at the time partner to an audience of 5000 in the city of San Rafael- Mendoza. Since 2006 up the date, he has toured Europe and North America, teaching workshops and seminars and performing in different venues, including International Tango Festivals in more than twenty cities around the world.

Shahin-DC-Aug2014lr

Argentine Tango Workshop, Private Lessons, and Milonga

July 31 – August 10th, 2014
Washington D.C.

Our journey in Argentine Tango continues as I return to the D.C. area this summer. I will be arriving on the 29th of July and offering private classes and groups workshops between July 31st and August 10th, 2014.

Our Focus: Previously we worked on walking, connecting, musicality, and dancing the social floor in comfort. In the new workshop we will continue to explore the external vocabulary of tango and dancing it to the requirement of the social floor while enjoying the dance with creativity and without restriction.

After 20 years of dancing and teaching tango, I learned that almost all the figures could be danced in an embrace and I will help you to achieve that!
