ABOUT ALEX
Alex Krebs teaches tango for the social dance floor. He emphasizes the improvisational nature of tango, developed through clear communication between leader and follower. His speciality is musical interpretation of the dance, and he is well known for his creativity in this area. His knowledge of tango as a dance and musical art form has been developed through numerous extended visits to Buenos Aires.
Alex's workshops are a delightful mixture of fun and learning. Dancers go away with a new musical bag of tricks to spice up their dance, built upon a solid framework of connection with the musical core of tango.
Alex is a regular instructor at the annual milonguero tango festivals in Denver, as well as at other festivals and tango weekends throughout the US. He is unique among American tango instructors in having taught extensively in Europe. In fact, Alex has taught, performed, and DJed in over 40 cities in 9 countries. He often teaches and performs with native Argentines Luciana Valle and Florencia Taccetti. In addition to dancing and teaching tango, he plays the bandoneon, and with his tango group "Conjunto Berretin", has performed throughout the West Coast and has released several tango CDs. Tango Berretin, Alex's studio in Portland, Oregon, is renowned for both its classes and its milongas, and is a popular destination for dancers from Alaska to the east coast.
