Tango CLT is thrilled to host Jesica and John again in 2026!
Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Jesica and John are two of the most beloved and respected tango instructors in the country. Their playful and creative approach to tango has inspired us at Tango CLT ever since Sarah and Matt first saw them dance together at a festival. Their teaching is known for its clarity, warmth, and deep insight. We are so happy to be hosting them again in 2026!
We will be offering two tracks of three classes each: a “Giro Track,” and an “Adornment Track.”
The Giro Track focuses on that most essential of tango moves, the giro, or molinete. If your giro technique is good, all of tango’s advanced vocabulary will unlock for you!
Meanwhile the Adornment Track will add many wonderful creative possibilities to your dancing! Adornments are not often taught, and we are very excited to learn them from master teachers John & Jesica!
The tracks are informal. You can still take whatever classes you want or have time for! But we do suggest that if you take the giro track, try to take the classes in order because the material in that track builds sequentially over three classes.
