Many of you know me as the organizer of Portland TangoFest, Portland ValenTango, and Seattle TangoMagic. However, I also have an active teaching schedule and will be spending some time on the road visiting other cities to teach and lead discussion groups on how to develop a successful tango community. My schedule is listed below. If you happen to be traveling yourself, I'd sure love to have you stop by and participate. Or if you have tango friends in other cities that you think might be interested, feel free to share this information and let them know I'm available to visit for a few days or a few weeks to teach, dance, schmooze, consult, lecture, hang-out, or just generally philosophize about tango. My specialties are Tango for Absolute Beginners, Tango that Navigates around the Floor, Social Tango for Advanced Couples, and Discussion Groups on Building a Successful Tango
