DJ Robin Thomas
A well-known and respected dancer and DJ, Robin's enthusiasm for Argentine tango can be seen most clearly in his wholehearted dedication to teaching. He believes that it is very important for students to dance simply andmusically from the very beginning. Building that strong base of connection and musicality early, Robinbelieves, will allow even very new beginners to feel comfortable and confident on a crowded dance floor and will also lead to a more comprehensive and fluid understanding of more complicated techniques later on. Robin's teaching style reflects thisphilosophy, and his students appreciate the humorous but still down-to-earth way he presents the material.
Robin'stravelschedule is a busy one, reflecting his growing popularity as a teacherand tango DJ. Recently, he has taught in Portland, Denver, Ann Arbor, Washington DC, Seattle, Berlin, Edinburgh, San Diego, Providence, Pittsburgh and at the universities, Yale, Princeton, and Cornell.
When he is not traveling, Robin stays busy in his hometown of New York City teaching classesor DJing. On the rare occasion that he is neither teaching or DJing, Robin can always be seen on the dance floor, either working to expand his own understanding of Argentine tango, or simply enjoying the connection he works so hard to share with others. Robin also hosts a popular milonga, Nocturne, once a month.
