Traditional Argentine Tango with Jesse McCrosky

Join Jesse for his return to Regina! Be challenged, but also have fun, as you learn to dance the style of the Milongas of Buenos Aires.

 

Schedule

 

Saturday, January 7th

  • 1 to 2:30: Technique Essentials

  • 3 to 4:30: Essential Movements

  • TBA: Milonga!

Sunday, January 8th

  • 1 to 2:30: Intermediate Movements

  • 3 to 4:30: Musicality and Review

 

The workshops will be suitable for students of any level, starting from the basics and progressing through the weekend.

Beginners are welcome and experienced dancers can still expect to be challenged to take their dancing to a new level.

Jesse's style focuses on connection, improvization, and a relaxed and comfortable dance. The emphasis of his teaching is on proper technique and foundations, recognizing that simple steps done properly and comfortably are more enjoyable than flashy steps done in a way that compromises the essence of the dance.

No experience nor partner needed!

 

Location

 

The entire workshop will take place at New Dance Horizons, 2207 Harvey Street, Regina

About Jesse


 

A year ago, Jesse spent four months in Buenos Aires dancing in the milongas and training with the masters of the dance. Since then he has been sharing what he learned in Saskatoon and across Canada. Some of his influential teachers, in no particular order, include: Andrés Laza Moreno, Andrea Missé, Natacha Poberaj, Enriqueta Kleinman, Graciela Gonzalez, Daniel Nacucchio, Cristina Sosa, Susana Miller, Maria Plazaola and the other teachers of the Academia Tango Milonguero.

Jesse is also a teacher of yoga and meditation and has taught many other styles of dance. His teaching philosophy recognizes that the learning process must be enjoyable and presented in a relaxed environment.

 

Some student comments:

  • Constanze once said "Dancing is like dreaming with your feet!" This is what I like about Jesse's tango classes, he keeps dancing real and authentic. Dancing is not about showing off, but rather a connection, connection not only with your partner but also with the other dance couples as well as the live band if you are lucky to have one.

  • You’re extremely special, man. You have done so much to make these concepts accessible and non-threatening to us newcomers. For years, I’ve had a temperament and world view that made me very accepting of yoga, even when facing it for the first time in your class. You’ve given me a few tools to continue with it on my own.

    But with the dance, you’ve cured me of a bad attitude that I’d picked up with way too many bad experiences... You’ve let me relax my guard toward dance, and even have a bit of fun stumbling with it.

  • You're an excellent instructor. You keep it simple with the basic theory and at the same time keep it interesting. I enjoy the background theory that you give us in class, as it sets the theme and mood for the dance. You are an excellent instructor, not afraid to correct but always doing it very kindly. 

    Thank you for all of your time,  I look forward to returning to learn more.

  • I wanted to let you know that I had so much fun in your class...What a great experience for the non dancer me. You have made me appreciate the dance lessons. You made them fun, interesting and passed on an abundance of information.

  • Thanks again for your wonderful class. Tara and I both had a really great time. I wanted to take a minute and point out the aspects I really liked about the class.

    First of all, I really liked how you were teaching and leading rather than just instructing and correcting as most dance classes are. It really makes it a lot more fun to dance when you aren't getting pointers the whole time. We had taken a ballroom class before and learned far more with you than in our other class. I learned to enjoy dancing rather than just memorize a few steps.

    Another thing I really enjoyed was starting the class with some yoga. I think it helped to bring everyone (total strangers!) to the same level, de-stressed us all, and put everyone in the mood to dance.

    As someone with zero yoga experience and minimal dance experience I feel this class was a great idea and I really enjoyed it.
