Christopher Nassopoulos and Caroline Peattie teach Argentine tango
classes based on the milonguero, or social style of Argentine Tango.
They have taught tango both in the Bay Area and other parts of the
country. They emphasize floor craft, musicality, turns, and embrace,
while maintaining a playfulness in their dance. The techniques of both
following and leading receive equal attention.
Christopher and Caroline have traveled to Buenos Aires to study with
Susana Miller, one of the most respected teachers of the "milonguero"
style.
