Rebecca Shulman- BIO
Rebecca Shulman is the coordinator of Dance Manhattan's extensive Argentine
tango program. Born in New York City, Rebecca studied classical ballet all
her life and Contact Improvisation and yoga since 1993.
Her tango career began in 1991 with Daniel Trenner, with whom she began to
perform and to visit Buenos Aires. Her Tango teachers include Mingo and
Esther Pugliese, Gustavo Naveira and Olga Besio, Tete and Maria, Juan Bruno,
and Antonio Todaro. She has performed with the finest dancers of this
generation. Students across the U.S. and in Europe seek Rebecca's clear
instruction on improvisation, technique, adornments, musicality. For four
years Rebecca taught and translated for Stanford University's Tango Week,
and in 1998 at the Montreal Festival. She has produced half a dozen popular
instructional videos on tango, through Bridge to the Tango.
Rebecca is a co-founder and artistic director of TangoMujer, an all-women
dance company which performed at Symphony Space and Town Hall in New York,
and at the Podewil Theatre in Berlin, in the summer of 1998. In 1999,
TangoMujer received a National Dance Production grant from New England
Foundation for the Arts, which sent TangoMujer on tour to seven cities in
the 2000-2001 season.
In January 2002, Rebecca cohosted Bridge to the Tango's annual visit to
Havana, Cuba, teaching tango to Cubans as part of a cultural exchange. In
March she danced at the grand opening of the spring season of the Autostadt
in Wolfsburg, Germany. Last July Rebecca was honored for 11 years of
contribution to tango in the U.S. In February 2003 she performed in "Swango:
the Fusion" and in "Avantango" at Town Hall. Currently she teaches at Dance
Manhattan and every Monday night she hosts the largest milonga in New York.
