Workshop Team - Sarah Bonnar
|
Sarah Bonnar trained for 13 years in classical, contemporary, jazz and
character dance. She has been a professional Argentine Tango teacher,
performer and choreographer since 2001.
She developed an exclusive and proven Argentine Tango teaching
methodology, based on social Argentine Tango, excellent for adults with no
previous dance training, as well as dancers at a high level wishing to maintain
condition and extend their understanding of the dance, and all
between.
Sarah's previous students can attest to her ability to teach tango in a
way that is both engaging and highly effective.
Her methods are compatible with all styles of Argentine tango, including
salon, milonguero, fantasia and nuevo.
Sarah Bonnar has given tango workshops for Ausdance ACT, the Colores Latinos
at Floriade, L'Affaire de Tango, Buenos Aires at the Beach, the National
Multicultural Festival, and led classes of more than 500 participants at the
National Folk Festival.
From 2005 to 2006 Sarah was studying and teaching tango in Buenos Aires,
returning to Australia in 2006 to be closer to her family in
Queensland.

Workshop Team - Kristy Bos
|
Kristy Bos grew up in an environment of natural therapies and has an
accumulated understanding and appreciation of the different fields and their
applications. Kristy is qualified as a remedial massage therapist, and she
currently practises in Canberra.
Her clients include not only those who need help recovering from sporting
injuries, but also those who seek massage as a means of maintaining their
physical well-being, enabling them to continue to pursue sporting and other
activities (including dance). She also caters for people who require massage for
emotional or relaxation reasons.
Kristy has a particular interest in how pain, discomfort, tension and
limitations in range of movement are created in the body; and, of course, how to
relieve them. As well as massage, Kristy has a great respect for the role of
stretching in the conditioning of muscles, and the achievement and maintenance
of an optimum range of movement.

What students say
"Sarah's technique is an entirely new and
enriching introduction to dancing. The concept of leading and
following movements suggested by music and rhythm, as opposed to memorisation of
a rigid sequence of steps, provides freedom for improvisation and room for
interpretation at all skill levels. Classes are taught in a relaxed
atmosphere by experienced instructors conveying the enthusiasm and joy of
dancing tango."
Britta Forster
What students say
"I found the dance classes to be different from any other
kind of dancing I have done. Tango, in this class seems to challenge us to
let go to the music according to how the leading partner interprets it.
The Tango steps allow this to happen naturally. The dance has much
more feeling and intuition to it and I found it
uplifting."
Jeanette Coan
What students say
"There are teachers who teach Tango steps, there are teachers
who teach Tango steps and musicology, and there are teachers who teach Tango -
that special combination of technique, the music and the passion of the heart.
Thank you Sarah."
