Special Guests

Louis has been dancing tango and shooting portraiture since 2009, and his work reflects a deep understanding of the nuances of both artistic media. He has a keen eye for both the drama and tenderness that characterize tango embrace, movement, and artistry. With his wife Jennifer (also a tanguera) providing editorial support, they form an uncommon team, able to visually tell the story of a tango event as experienced through the hearts of dancers.

Mari Hodges is a certified Alexander Technique Teacher, Art of Running instructor and pain management specialist.
 
She is passionate about empowering people to enhance mobility and performance, discover personal transformation and increase freedom of choice by changing long-standing habits of posture, movement and thought.

Mari teaches anatomy-informed mindful movement, embodied awareness, natural breathing and self-care and self-development skills in addition to pain and stress reduction. Her Alexander Technique training and extensive teaching experiences give her unique insight into human movement and how to help people eliminate unconscious, habitual interferences for greater whole-body coordination, comfort, vitality and calm presence. In group and individual classes, she helps dancers and others “rediscover” integrated movement and mind-body wholeness.

Mari taught and performed Brazilian dances around the world for over 20 years. She has studied and danced tango since 2005 in Buenos Aires, where she lived until recently. She is now based in Montana and is available for individual coaching by appointment.

Mari will be teaching The Goldilocks Zone for accessing postural tone and movement that’s relaxed, engaged and free as you dance tango.
