He started his tango career in Carmel, CA with an Argentine gentleman by the name of Fernando Fillipelli. Ernest has spent more than 4 years acquiring knowledge and developing his unique style in classes and milongas in over 15 cities across the U.S. Cities such as San Francisco, New York, Denver, Seattle, New Orleans, Atlanta, San Diego, Dallas, Austin, Honolulu and Philadelphia are the most notable. His creativity, musicality and style have turned heads and made him a hot item on many dance floors. Ernest started his teaching career in Hawaii where he taught for almost two years. He then relocated to the East Coast to dance and teach full time first spending 7 months helping the Virginia Beach tango community grow and recently relocating to Maryland to spread his influence. Ernest's dancing is playful, energetic at times; yet graceful, intuitive and full of feeling. His teaching is clear and easy to understand. He can cover a topic holistically and with the necessary detail to get the point across without over-burdening students with technicality. Priding himself as a teacher who can field even the most difficult of questions with clarity, Ernest sees each question as an opportunity to explore many possibilities.
