Linda
is originally from Mexico and is now living
permanently in San Diego. She has been
dancing and studying Tango since 1998.
Most of her training has been in San Diego
with Ive Simard, master teacher from El
Mundo Del Tango. She started learning
the leader’s part in 2002 and to
this date continues her weekly classes
to improve her technique and knowledge
which she generously shares with her students.
She can teach both men and women in both
the Salon style and the more intimate
Milonguero style.
She
has traveled extensively to complement
her training, taking private lessons with
numerous Argentine Tango Masters such
as: Guillermo Merlo and Fernanda Ghi,
Daniela Arcuri and Armando Orzuza, Hugo
Patyn and Miriam Larici, José Garafolo,
Sergio Cortazzo, Facundo and Kelly Posadas,
“El Pulpo” and Luisa, Orlando
Paiva, Daniel Lapadula, Sandor, Graciela
Gonzalez, Stella Barba, Nélida
Boyer, and most recently with Susana Miller
Argentina’s foremost teacher in the
“Milonguero” style.
Ms.
Garwood spent three weeks in Buenos Aires
perfecting her dancing technique and investigating
different teaching methodologies. The
Argentine influence can be felt and seen
in her approach to teaching Tango. Posture,
connection and musicality are emphasized
extensively through all her classes. Technique
is always the focus point of her teaching,
she strongly believes in a solid foundation
and complete understanding of the basics
of the dance.
