Jorge Torres

Jorge Torres - Was here!

 

Thank you Maestro for your wonderful inspiration and teaching, we will apply ourselves and practice the techniques you demonstrated so beautifully 'one million times'  (per your recommendation) before you return.

                   .........Sue Flanagan  & the South Bay students

The Energy & Elegance of Jorge Torres 

will return before the end of 2010

 

 

 

Reflections of Jorge from students:

"I find he guides leaders from his decades of experience in tango and then challenges them with patterns that simply and efficiently test their real knowledge of the technique being taught." 

E.C.B.  June 2010

“As always, my lesson with Jorge was a transcendental experience.  When else do you get to spend time exploring your inner being for your true self, expressed through dancing.  I always come away from these lessons with Jorge with a much more balanced, relaxed approach to dancing and to life.” 

S. M.  June 2010

TangoSeats were sold out at the Historic Hoover Theatre in San Jose for the Flamenco Society “Juerga”  featuring Flamenco students and teachers from the south bay.  MilongaProviding an alternate genre of cultural dance, Sue and Yuki performed a variety of tangos to an enchanted and captivated audience.

Testimonials

Never having taken any formal dance training I was amazed at how quickly I learned the beautiful steps and sensations of Tango. 

Sue’s passion and knowledge for the dance created an amazing setting for absorbing the dance moves. 

Her patience, understanding and lovely sense of humor made the class fun and creative. 

She is an amazing teacher and person.
