Paulo Araujo will be returning to the Bay Area this week. If you did not have a chance to meet him or take a class with him last year you can make up for it now. This is only his second visit to the Bay area - last year he was able to come for only 4 days because of his extremely busy teaching schedule. He is based in Rio de Janeiro where he has his own dance troupe, milonga and school Instituto Tango Brasileiro. He often tours Europe with Graciela Gonzalez as her teaching partner. His style is close embrace, milonguero, and very passionate. His teaching is rigorous and very technically based.
