MAESTROS

We are elated to tell you about our first teacher couple, the young, dynamic, warm, and super-fun Guillermo Cermeaz and Gaby Mataloni from Buenos Aires! We met them in San Miguel last year, they are amazing! Guille and Gaby bring with them 15 years of teaching experience.

Vania

Vania Rey will teach and DJ at the SLTF, marking her first teaching trip to Utah!

We are excited to welcome back long time friends of Utah Tango community, John Miller (this time DJing our opening milonga) and Jesica Cutler!

John Miller approaches Tango with the sharp mind of an academic, the obsessive determination of a coffee addict, and the soul of a poet. He began dancing at the age of 18, never suspecting that Tango would eventually take over his entire life. Originally trained as a Linguist, he eventually found himself at the milongas every night of the week and decided to pursue a career in Tango over one in Medieval French studies. He has been teaching full time since 2009 and presently gives weekly classes in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Golden. John is one of the most popular DJs in Colorado, and plays an average of 140 nights a year. He has DJed across North America at many festivals and milongas, including the UTango Festival in Salt Lake City, Burning Tango in McCloud, the Albuquerque Tango Festival, the Denver Tango Festival, the Natural Tango Festival, Tango Encuentro in Boulder, Mala Leche in New York City, and the Toronto Tango Experience. In his dance and in his teaching, John strives for clarity, precision, and elegance.

Jesica Cutler will provide on-site massages.

 

Option6_SKT_1805Jurni Roco is back in Utah! Joni says: “I believe in creating an environment that fosters connection and growth. I do this by hosting Tango and Blues events, DJing, and, most of all, through teaching. I teach in Portland and Tucson and DJ both traditional, and fusion at events in the western US. Join us as we explore the dance.”

Get ready for a fantastic weekend of tango celebration!
