About Javier Rochwarger
Javier Rochwarger is a warmly intense and generous talent, one of Buenos Aires’s new generation of tango dancers. Grounded, sensual, and musical, in the past 10 years he has taught classes throughout the U.S. , Japan and Spain, as well as in Buenos Aires where he lives.
Javier’s fluid and intimate style of dancing defies easy classification. He seamlessly integrates a variety of influences, making his insights valuable whether you consider yourself a devotee of milonguero style or a nuevo tango renegade. Rarer still is his practical understanding of how the body moves and of how to communicate complex concepts to students of all levels.
As one who has traveled the road from novice to professional, Javier has a unique and compassionate perspective. His students praise him for the exceptional personal attention that he provides even in group classes, and for his patience and his warm sense of humor.
Javier will be available for privates before the workshops, on Thursday and Friday, Feb 16-17, and afterward, on Monday and Tuesday, Feb 20-21.
Privates are $90/hr for one or two people, or $85/hr if paid and scheduled by Feb 15. To schedule, please review openings by visiting the calendar here. Then e-mail Laura Blutstein at laurajb@me.com with your preferred time(s), and mail/give her a check made out to “Javier Rochwarger.” Her mailing address is 76 Emery St, Portland, ME 04102.
Javier will return with his talented partner, Chieko Kawashima, for all of April. They’ll start with two days of workshops (March 31 & April 1) and also have Thursday evening group classes. These will all be at Bhakti-in Motion yoga studio, 155 Brackett St, Portland. Details of prices, including special package rates, are found here.
