Antonio's background as both an artist and teacher, provides a perfect blend of senses for the movement of bodies through both time and space, and how to communicate this effectively. His lessons successfully combine the technical analysis of movement and the sensory interpretation of music.  As an artist he approaches tango as more of art form that that is filled with expression and loves the challenge to teach all his students how to express their own creativity.  His world tango experiences in Canada, France, Spain, Italy and several trips to Buenos Aires, offers students a rich learning experience.

Cawi is a dancer through and through.  His high energy, creative teaching style,  making you laugh as you learn, is a trade mark of his classes!  He has lived in Cuba and Buenos Aries to learn not just a dance but the essence of the dance.   He teaches the core basics of dance so you can have fun dancing right away.  Connection is a theme of his classes, whether connecting to a partner, to the floor, or to yourself.   Cawi teaches Cuban Salsa, Rumba, Zuok, Tango, Samba di Gafferia, and Son.  As one of Madison's best Salsa teachers and dancers, it is a real opportunity and pleasure to share in his classes.

Ru brings her enthusiasm and experience as a teacher to her Cuban Salsa classes. She believes in sound technique and encourages creativity and fun on the dance floor. Years of mentorship and practice with Cawi, Ben and have been instrumental in developing her dance. She continues to seek out opportunities at home and abroad to practice Cuban and other dances of the African diaspora.   Check out Ru's and Ben's Cuban Salsa video on our photo/video page!
