Denver Tango Workshops with Brigitta Winkler

Brigitta Winkler is my primary inspiration and most significant tango mentor from the first time I met her in 1998. She was one of the original teachers of the Argentine Tango revival in Europe, and has taught in Berlin, New York and all over the world since the early 1980s. She visited Argentina for the first time during the "tango dark ages" before tango interest exploded in the 1980s and 1990s.
