She is a founding member of the faculty of CITA in Buenos Aires. The clarity and accessibility of her teaching, at every level, is extraordinary. http://www.tangomotion.com/cv.htm If you're coming to visit Eugene, you should know that the big Milongas are Friday & Saturday nights, but we have smaller regular milongas and practicas in other venues downtown and on the University of Oregon campus, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday nights.
