in Memphis, TN Feb. 4-5, 2006 Hsueh-tze, known for her musicality and for her innovative dancing in close embrace, teaches throughout North America including festivals in Portland, Seattle, & Denver. She coined the phrase "nuevo milonguero" to describe the blending of the traditional with more avant-garde moves in close embrace. Hsueh-tze is also a North American pioneer in dancing both the leader's and follower's roles. A life-long dancer, she has been dancing tango since 1990 and is based in Boston. In her classes, Hsueh-tze integrates her knowledge of dance, physiology and biomechanics to focus on movement dynamics, partner communication, musicality and improvisation. She is appreciated for her enthusiasm, for her skill in establishing a solid foundation as well as teaching complex moves, and for inspiring her students to become dynamic social dancers. Hsueh-tze holds a doctorate in physiology from Harvard University, and won a teaching award as a Harvard Teaching Fellow. A former biology professor at Wellesley College, Hsueh-tze currently devotes her full-time energy to tango.
