Jonathan has studied with numerous teachers in Buenos Aires, including his mentor, Carlos Gavito during the last 4 years prior to Gavitos passing. Jonathan is gifted in his ability to analyze, break down and explain body mechanics and movement, empowering students to dance beautifully in a sustained close embrace. Olivia learned her tango from Jonathan and numerous tango instructors from Buenos Aires, including Maria Plazaola and Marcela Duran -- Gavitos last two partners. Together Jonathan y Olivia will share technique necessary to execute Gavitos movements -- learned and mastered by few.

Whether beginning or advanced, students of Jonathan and Olivia receive contemporaneous instruction focusing on detailed technique, perfecting the walk (from which all tango movements originate) breathing, pauses and the intimate sustained close embrace in the tango milonguero style with particular detail to internal and external nuances not perceptible to a third party observer.
