Yves JEAN is a French native. He has learned Argentine Tango in Paris, France from top European and Argentine Maestros, including Pablo VERON, Fabian SALAS, Gustavo NAVEIRA and the famous Thierry LECOCQ, who is considered a jeweler among the argentine tango teachers for his exceptional pedagogical skills. Yves has the privilege of being one of his disciples, who are easily recognized for their clear lead and strong magic connection, as well as the teaching skills, and the ability to be creative. Yves is well known for inviting absolute beginners and visitors on a dance floor to make them feel the magic of argentine tango. His romantic and creative French touch is felt through his dancing and teaching. He will make you feel and experiment the physical, emotional, and cerebral connection. In addition, those interested in the particular Milonguero Apilado style will enjoy his specific teachings for connection and balance.
Yves has taught and performed from Salt Lake City to Phoenix, St George, Las Vegas, Paris, Nice, and the French Riviera where he spends 2 months every summer attending numerous International festivals and taking private lessons and professional workshops from top Worldwide argentine tango Maestros.
Yves has also taught tango to Parkinson patients at the University of Utah Hospital, Health Wellness and Rehabilitation Department. He uses tango for couple therapy and makes the parallel between being a couple in life and in dancing. He has been called upon to teach tango basics and specific connection to professional modern dancers of Woodbury/Ririe Dance Company of Salt Lake City. He performs on TV and entertains for businesses, private clubs, and for non profit organizations.
