Jay Abling in Tucson January 28-31, 2010

By rusty, November 29, 2009
Jay Abling is one of our instructors for the Tucson Tango Festival because not only is he an accomplished instructor and dancer, he is a community builder.

Jay’s philosophy on his web site grabbed me right off:
Better Dancers, Better People, Better Community.
click here for Jay’s website. I met Jay years ago on the tango trail in Portland, San Francisco, LA and other festival/milongas and he is a genuinely good spirit, leader and instructor.

Kristine Goodwin, one of the best dancers in Tucson asked me to bring Jay Abling to Tucson, because she knows he has things to offer both the leaders and followers in our community, and I agree.
Ladies: Jay is a fantastic social leader/dancer. He has danced with some great followers.
Gentlemen: Ladies love dancing with Jay.
