Tango Flash Mob
In 2023, I produced a vibrant Tango Flash Mob at Parque Juárez, bringing together dancers to surprise and delight the public with an impromptu performance. This video and the accompanying photos capture the energy, passion, and spontaneity of that unforgettable moment.
In January 2020, The first One Heart Cultural Festival took place in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Connecting through Music, Dance, Food and
Storytelling in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Meet your host Christina Johnson, Festival Creator and Director
In January 2020, The first One Heart Cultural Festival took place in San Miguel
de Allende, Mexico.
The idea was to create more connection between people using the ancient
ways we have always connected: through storytelling, dance, music, and food.
Some of these connections are rare in contemporary times because of
technology and using social media to connect rather than a physical presence,
human voice, and enjoying experience within a group of people.
The Festival this year includes classes of dance, stage performance, an
incredible internationally acclaimed tango orchestra, (QUINTANGO) Oaxacan
cooking class with a celebrity Mexican poet, a concert and elegant dinner in a
top quality winery, and a visionary New York Times Best Seller speaker who will
speak to your heart.
Invitación por Lupita Guerrero, Instructora de
Tango de San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato
Lupita Guerrero, Chief Organizer
and Designer
We suggest ways to connect with neighbors and new people by attending Meet Me There, a group led by Victor Rua, our guest from
Argentina. Try meeting new faces at the Festival, enjoy new friendship possibilities, and perhaps leave your cell phone for an hour to be
with a real person.
Through the Festival we hope to awaken and restore hope for the future as our future unfolds tentatively due to years of COVID and the
current stress of political and environmental changes. We enthusiastically respond to the world situation with respect for people and how
we can manifest a kinder and more forgiving community when we know our neighbors face to face and realize we are of “one heart”.

Meet great San Miguel residents:
Diana Wentworth
Do You Believe In Magic? I always have. But that belief has transformed over the years. I now don’t just believe in it, I know how to call in the limitless magic of the universe that resides just beyond our everyday experience. Youwill learn how to draw back the curtain that keeps them from experiencing their connection with the all, how to access the divine power that is waiting to uplift them, and how to live in an awareness of the presence of those who have passed. You will learn how to feel their oneness with all that is and bring the magic of that oneness into their lives. I’ve been blessed by miracles all my life. And while some might say that I’ve been the fortunate recipient of a great deal of synchronicity, I’m confident that the magic I’ve experienced was not related to luck. I attribute it to my curiosity about the human connection to the divine mystery. This curiosity has led me to great introspection about the meaning of my own existence, and to an ever-deepening knowing of that meaning.
Cecilia Gonzalez
Well respected by the tango community in Buenos Aires, Cecilia is an exceptional dancer who has worked with the most renowned Argentine dancers of her generation since 1995. She combines strong movements with wise softness getting, without effort, the most powerful synthesis. The technical precision, fluidity of her movements and notable capacity of improvisation characterize her dance. Cecilia shares her extensive knowledge and passion with her students. She is a very appreciated and requested tango teacher and has been continually invited to give workshops and participate in festivals around the world. Since its inception in 1999, she has been a member of the teaching faculty of the Argentine International Tango Congress (C.I.T.A) held annually in Buenos Aires.
Natalia Toledo Paz
Is a Mexican poet who writes in Spanish and Zapotec. Her work helped to revive interest in the Zapotec language. Ida Kozlowska- Day states that Toledo is “one of the most recognized contemporary poets in the native languages of Mexico.” Toledo Paz’s writing has been concerned with women and their relationship to the environment. Her writing, along with other writers’ use of the Zapotec language in their work, has helped boost demand in Mexico to make indigenous cultures more visible. Toledo Paz enjoys using the Zapotec language because she feels that it has “a great aesthetic sensibility for creating images and beauty.” She is the president of Patronato de la Casa de la Cultura de Juchitán (Fund of the House of Culture of Juchitán).
Victor Rua
Teacher educated in traditional tango, folklore, and in Therapeutic Dance. Dance teacher Victor Rua will be coming from Buenos Aires Argentina to teach tango and also Argentine Folklore, folk dancing. Tango is the ultimate dance of connection, both inwardly as a meditation and outwardly as an art. If you are intimidated by tango, feel heartened that folklore is easy to learn and a joy to dance.

TANGO THERAPY BEGINS SATURDAY AUG. 9 INSAN MIGUEL
TANGO THERAPY BEGINS SATURDAY AUG. 9 IN
SAN MIGUEL
In October of 2012 I suffered a catastrophic event that changed my life, my dancing, and my work. A neurosurgeon had an “accident” during my surgery and dripped bone cement into my spinal canal. I was paralyzed on the right side from the waist down.
I have worked very hard to recover movement, and in so doing, I appreciate my very physical life of teaching yoga, practicing and teaching Argentine tango, hiking, ice skating, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. I have an excellent personal trainer in San Miguel who has helped me tremendously, and I have discovered that tango is offering me an invitation to recovery.
My friend Ezequiel and I have been collaborating. Ezequiel was a tango student of mine many years ago, and has grown to be a very good teacher. He now practices with me, and helps me with tango therapy. We have played and practiced with bands, balls, music and we have an artistic and enjoyable way of bringing the body back into a stronger, more flexible, and balanced condition. We also experiment with connection. Connection to our partner and to our body and to ourselves are fundamental and restorative relationships. I may never again dance, walk, or move with the grace I had before that tragedy in 2012. I am fairly certain I will never have complete sensation or feeling on my right side. I have lost some of the ability to move with unthinking fluidity, and innocent trust. But I am giving my body permission to regain all that she can, to nourish herself with rhythm and delight, to coax balance from proprioception and to place my feet with intent and decisive direction.
And with tango I have the added healing touch of the embrace, and the comfort that I am not alone, and I am dancing.
Classes will be at a wood floored studio at Privada Aurora # 8 beginning Saturday Aug. 9 and continuing through Aug. 30. Classes will resume in November. The hour class starts at 11:30 AM and costs 80 pesos. No partner is needed. Directions: driving out towards Dolores Hidalgo, the little alley of the Privada Aurora is on your right before the bridge. If driving, look for somewhere to park and then walk a block or two. Or park at the Fabrica. The street is narrow and a cul-de-sac, and not a good place to park.
