We are pleased to introduce Jessica Bijvoet from Amsterdam. She is a phenomenal tango dancer and one of Holland's most famous tango teachers. Jessica began dancing tango in 1991 in Amsterdam, Holland where she took classes with many of the great Argentine Maestro's, such as Fabian Salas, Chicho, Gustavo Naveira, Antonio Todaro, Pepito Avallaneda and Julio Balmaceda.
She moved to Buenos Aires to study tango from 1997 until 1999. There she worked with Fabian, Gustavo and Cicho, oranized several local milonga's and also worked as an assistant teacher to Daniel Trenner for a "Bridge to the Tango Tour". She has organized several tango tours in Holland for some of the great Argentine dancers to promote tango and bring new influences to Western Europe. Jessica is the founder and owner of two tango schools in Holland and is a frequently requested guest teacher for many worksshops in Europe. For Jessica it is very important that her students learn to understand the system they are working with - to develop the ability to improvise on the dance floor and ultimately to find their own personal expression in dancing tango WORKSHOP INFORMATION & DATES: DROP-IN CLASS : leading for followers.
