NA-E: Tangogypsies Presents- June 4-8- Daniel Trenner in Asheville, NC!
(Tango Pioneer, Story Teller, and Historian)
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to study with a true tango maestro!
Daniel Trenner is one of Tango's modern pioneers. He happened on Tango in
Buenos Aires in 1986 while he was there teaching Jazz and Improvisation at the
State School of Contemporary Dance. He was one of the first dozen young people
involved in tango's revival. He studied with, interviewed, filmed and organized
for many of the Milongueros, the older generation dancers. He has been called a
“Johnny Appleseed of Tango” for his 20 years of touring as a tango teacher,
visiting more than 100 cities on 4 continents. He was one of the early
proponents of teaching tango by its elements, he created the first Tango tours
to Buenos Aires (Bridge to the Tango), and the first Tango store in North
America (The Tango Catalogue). He produced more than 80 volumes of Tango
Instructional Video, with more than 40 artists (BttTV). Read more about Daniel
