Portland welcomes back Avik Basu. Avik is a local favorite dancer, teacher and DJ. Having been to Portland many times in Avik's 10 years of dancing and teaching Argentine Tango. This is Aviks’s first time teaching workshops outside of our festivals. I hope you can take advantage of this special and affordable opportunity to work with Avik in a small and intimate setting. (SEE BELOW FOR WORKSHOP SCHEDULE & BIO)
WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
Avik specializes in teaching social tango emphasizing connection, musicality, and improvisation. He has come to be known for his clear explanations, which expose the core of any tango idea whether it be about movement or musicality. In addition to his regular classes in Ann Arbor, Avik has taught all over the world
An eternal tango student, Avik has taken classes from dancers in many tango traditions. The teachers who have left their mark most clearly are Gustavo Naveira, Susana Miller, Alex Krebs, and Robin Thomas. And in great measure, he has been guided by his experiences with his many talented students.

AVIK'S BIO:
Avik began his tango journey in 2002 and since then has danced, DJ'd, and performed all over North America. He sees tango not only as an accessible art form but also as a way to discover and improve upon oneself. He is devoted to sharing it and his instruction over the better part of the last decade has been instrumental in developing the Ann Arbor tango community.
