Good teaching

Leandro Palou and Romina Godoy

I took a workshop with them last December in Bailongo! and the only thing I knew about Leandro was that he had been a partner of Andrea Missé and that he was the dancer in the Haagen Dazs Dolce de Leche advert. I knew nothing about Romina.
It took me only a few minutes to become a fan of these two. They're precision with technique allied to a fabulous musicality and search for perfection was evident from the first minute and I bonded with their teaching style right from the start.
Hopefully, I'll have more classes with them very soon. For those of you who are kicking around London and are looking for good tuition they are in central London (but beware as they will be touring - again - with tangox2).
Here it is a video that Supantheress shot after one of the workshops when they did a completely improvised demonstration (he wanted to put another music to do the demo but couldn't find it) of what they taught us (the movement is the one from 0:50 to 1:05, with variations). The orchestra is "Enrique Rodriguez" and the title of the music is "No te quiero mas"
