Bio

Mike Malixi and Carrie Field have been teaching Argentine Tango in Taos, New Mexico since 2009. Mike has performed with Luciana Valle, Tara Fortier, and Alicia Pons. Carrie holds a bachelors degree in Dance and has taught Pilates, Yoga and Gyrotonic® for the last 19 years and holds certifications in all three practices. Mike and Carrie have taught at the San Diego Tango Festival and Denver Tango Festival. As Taos Tango, they teach with the University of New Mexico and are committed to building a community of dancers in Taos.

Their dance and teaching style has been influenced by their many trips to Buenos Aires and studies with Julio Balmaceda, Corina de la Rosa, Cecila Garcia, Mariella Sametband and Gustavo Naveira.

Mike and Carrie’s distinct tango philosophy is based in martial arts and a passion of the mechanics of the moving body.

Perri and the gang met with the owners of Four Leaves Winery and have arranged another Milonga for us at the winery. Join is for Tango, conversation and a glass of Malbec.

Four Leaves Winery is located across from the train station in Durango.

At our meeting at the Four Leaves Winery we decided to host our 2nd milonga of 2013 on Tuesday, March. 26 here at the winery, from 7-9pm. We'll get to work this week on flyers. This is a free milonga and the owners are offering a reduced rate for glasses of wine: $5.00!!! A copy of their menu is shown in the photo below:

"Tango is not necessarily a happy dance. Tango is an intellectual activity as much as a physical one. It presents a deep technical challenge and invites us to listen to someone else."

Silvina Valz

Tango is a collaboration between two people to attempt an interpretation of music through dance. Because it is an attempt, there can be no mistakes. If each partner is honest in their efforts a part of themselves will be exposed to the other, like two confidants sharing a secret without words.
