Argentine Tango Lessons

Taught by: Joaquín Canay, assisted by Larisa Kuznetsova and Juan Brache
A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Joaquín Canay moved to Ithaca in August 2003 to join Rina Gendelman in teaching and performing. He began dancing Tango as a teenager on the North Side of Buenos Aires. Joaquín has studied extensively under the tutelage of Oscar Caballero. Marta Echeverry, Adrian & Sandra, the Blanco Family, Cesar & Isabel Fernandez, Davel, Maria & Roberto Contreras, and the people of "La Casa de la Juventud" and "La Casona de Marta" have also had a significant impact on his development as a dancer. Before moving to Ithaca Joaquín lived in New York City, where he started with some teaching and performing. Since he moved to the area, he has been teaching in not only Ithaca, but Geneva, Corning, Binghamton, and others as well, and giving special workshops in cities like Rochester, Scranton, Princeton, Hana, Pukalani, San Francisco, Buffalo, and more. He focuses in the leader and follower relationship and the connection between each other. His gentle and enthusiastic approch to teaching creates classes one can look foward to.
