Solidly credentialed in training, performance, and teaching, Tomas Howlin's dance is deeply inspired by the traditional esthetic that has characterized the style and elegance of this dance for the past 60 years. Tomas believes in a natural, comfortable, thoughtful and skillful tango; one that is unique for each person. Tomas revisits Pittsburgh regularly to coach and encourage the Pittsburgh community. A Pittsburgh favorite, he is appreciated for his sharp eye, gentle humor, and accessibility.
