Originally
from Russia, Vladimir
came to United States with his family
in 1993. He fell in love with Tango long
before he could even walk… Growing
up in a very musical family, from the
very early age he has been listening to
the tangos played by his father and grandmother.
After
taking his first Argentine Tango lesson
about three years ago, he knew that he
found his passion. In January of 2004
he became the instructor at the 3rd Street
Dance Studio, teaching beginning and intermediate
Argentine Tango, as well as advanced technique
and styling Tango classes. While teaching
mainly in Los Angeles, Vladimir has also
been teaching and performing in in San
Diego and Santa Barbara.
Together with Evita Arce, Vlad participated
in the First International Argentine Tango
Competition and Showcase hosted by the
World
Council for Argentine Tango Events
in San Diego, California in January of
2004. He returned to participate in the
competition in February of 2005 with partner
Irene Tumanyan. Together they ranked Gold
in Tango, Vals and Milonga. That same
night Vladimir was also presented with
the "Carlos Gardel Award" for
the contribution to the world of Argentine
Tango. In January of 2005, Vlad and Irene
took the 1st Place in the the Argentine
Tango Division of the Annual
CalTech Dance Sport Competition.
In
May of 2005, Vladimir served as the Amabassador
of The
IV Carlos Gardel Tango Festival in
Los Angeles, California. He returned again
to the Festival in 2006 as an ambassador
and performer.
Vladimir
is currently working on completing a double-major
in Information Systems and Psychology
from the California State University Northridge.
Being a professional web designer, Vlad
runs www.TangoAfficionado.com
- online information resource for the
Los Angeles tango community. He is also
working on www.DanceAfficionado.com
