Daniel Trenner Bio:
The Argentine Tango is a beautiful simple language of improvisational
social dance that has developed over the last century in the city of
Buenos Aires. It is made mysterious and complex by the endless layers
of dialect and variation produced by countless generations of dancers.
Daniel Trenner is a native New Yorker, who in his decade of
experience exploring the Tango in Argentina has unraveled its
mysteries and developed a key for understanding the code of this
lovely dance. His unique teaching style is based on translating the
culture of Argentine social dance. He teaches games and exercises for
understanding the principles of lead and follow, while relating the
anecdotes and stories of the older dancers, or milongueros, he
interviewed in Buenos Aires. His tango is greatly influenced by his
extensive contact with the milongueros during the past ten years. His
teachers include Miguel and Nelly, Antonio Todaro, Mingo and Ester
Pugliese, Juan Bruno, Pepito Avellendda, Rodolfo and Maria, and Tomi
O'Connell.
Daniel has been dancing professionally for 18 years. He holds a
Master of Education in Dance, and is the founder of "Bridge to the
Tango", an organization dedicated to creating connections between the
social dance communities in North America, Europe and Argentina
(http://www.tangobridge.com).

This is an invitation-only club for dance enthusiasts, that promotes
the Tango. The club promotes beginner, intermediate and advanced

the alumni associations.
Founders' Note:
This club was founded by a group of friends from Harvard, Smith, and
MIT who share a common interest in dance. Our goal for this
community is two-fold: to master the basics of Tango, the sensuous
dance (think Scent of a Woman), and also to build a long lasting
network of talented individuals who are looking to expand their
horizons and have fun in the process. We are organizing a 4-week
introductory Tango program to begin in September which will meet once
per week (Sunday mornings) for 2 hours in San Francisco.
