A professional clarinetist for 30 years, Lorne discovered Argentine Tango on a trip to Buenos Aires and was immediately hooked. He began studying with Judy Knee in St. John’s NL; 3 years later he met Halifax tango teacher Margaret Spore, and followed her invitation to a weekend workshop of master teacher Tomas Howlin from Montreal/Argentina in Halifax. It was there that he met Martina, who had just started dancing tango. Together they have traveled to festivals in Toronto, Freiburg in Germany and Copenhagen in Denmark, taken classes with internationally renowned teachers including Brigitta Winkler, Chicho Frumboli, Tomas Howlin, Sebastian Arce & Mariana Montes, Adam & Ciko, Noel Strazza & Pablo Pugliese, Julia Gorin & Jonatan Baez, Sharna Fabiano, Rebecca Shulman, Murat & Michelle Erdemsel, Ariadna Naveira & Fernando Sanchez.
Martina’s childhood dream was to become a dancer but it was not before reaching her forties, that she started dancing Flamenco, Contemporary, African Dance and Argentine Tango. Movement for her means life and she explores many forms of somatic body work like Laban/Bartenieff and Continuum Movement. More recently she discovered adult ballet and Alexander Technique as an ideal support for her tango dancing.
Tango is our passion which we share through our approach as community teachers, emphasizing musicality and communication between partners. We are based in Halifax, but are available for weekend workshops to dance with you where you are. Please reach out.
