I trained and performed as a modern dancer before starting to study Argentine Tango.  I was fortunate to study with a number of respected teachers in New York and Buenos Aires including Daniel Trenner, Rebecca Schulman, Brigitta Winkler, Erik Jeurissen, Carlos Gavito and Luciana Valle. 

The most important aspect of Argentine Tango is clear communication between the leader and the follower to create elegant and smooth dancing on the dance floor that is both passionate and fun.  I have been studying, teaching, and running Milongas and guided practicas for the past 17 years and try to be a stable leader in the growing of an Argentine Tango Community.  I especially love working with beginners in order to introduce them to the exciting world of Argentine Tango, but I also enjoy working with intermediate and advanced dancers who want to be the best they can become. I currently teach group tango classes at Yale University, Ballroom Experience Studio in Milford and individual private classes.  

A foundation in authentic traditional Argentine Tango can provide a lifetime of pleasure in social dancing. Like the elegant traditional Argentine Milongueros and Milongueras, we can continue to grow into this dance indefinitely. In Buenos Aires it is almost impossible to take your eyes off the dancers in their 60’s and older when they get up to dance at the milongas. They have had a lifetime of dancing to fully understand what they are dancing about beyond the physical movements they are executing.

That is one of the main reasons I have been drawn to the Argentine Tango: plenty of room to grow.  The best part is enjoying the journey even as we are learning.
