Greg Rolnick’s dance training and performances began with ballet and modern dance in San Francisco, touring and performing with modern dance companys throughout the U.S. and Europe. In 1997 he became totally devoted to Argentine Tango when Fabian Salas came to teach at the Century Ballroom for two months. Since then he has taught and performed in California, New York, Hawaii, Canada, and Mexico.
Greg’s most influential teachers include Sebastian Arce y Mariana Montes, Chicho Frumboli y Juana Sepulveda, and Mario Consiglieri y Anabella Diaz- Hojman. Greg’s ongoing study of the Gyrotonic Expansion System is helpful to promote relaxed, centered, grounded, clear and technically correct movement for the Argentine Tango classes.
Greg and Nicole love to dance and teach together.
Nicole Adams started dancing at the tender age of 2, in the doorway of her sister’s ballet class. She knew from this moment she would dance forever. Her extensive training background includes classical ballet, modern, jazz, ballroom, latin and swing. Then she found Argentine Tango. She completely fell in love with the dance’s ability to take her to a brand new level of freedom and expression.
For Nicole, Tango provides an opportunity to not only continually train and develop her technique, but more importantly gives her the space to communicate her own personality and emotions while having a fully connected conversation with her partner through tango’s beautiful and elegant movement. Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa have been a huge inspiration for Nicole to work in a healthy way that feels good in her body while still preserving the beauty of tango. She brings her strong dance background and years as a Pilates instructor to assist in finding the right alignment and posture for each individual so one can be free to let the music dance through the body naturally. As a mother of two, her warm and thoughtful presence in class make learning very fun and relaxed. Nicole has performed with “Tango en Vie” around the Northwest and most recently in Seattle’s Folklife Festival and at Century Ballroom in the Tango Cabaret.
