Argentine Tango Workshop Series

with Hernan Brizuela

     Hernan Brizuela, tango teacher and dancer from Mendoza, Argentina, is known in NYC for his tanguero style.  At the age of 7 he began an intensive study of Argentinean folklore dance with Monica Maturano and at 10 received his first tango lesson from his mother, beginning a life long love for the dance and sharing it with others.  Upon leaving Mendoza, Hernan’s most influential teacher was Cesar Coelho of “Forever Tango”; with his help Hernan learned to combine the aesthetics of the social tango from his childhood with the nuevo tango techniques of the stage.  Hernan has taught and performed at various festivals, milonga’s, and studios in New York and Massachusetts.  He was a principal dancer in the off-Broadway dance play “Let’s Speak Tango” and choreographed and starred in the short Film “Gardenias”.   Currently, Hernan travels between New York, Boston, Buenos Aires, and Paris to teach and perform Tango.
