Gainesville Community Plaza and the Thomas Center. They are co-founders of
"Tango From The Heart" the Online Publication about tango, relationships and

teaching, which includes weekly classes and private lessons, monthly

Tom Stermitz is a well-know and highly respected tango teacher and organizer
from Denver, Colorado.
He is the Artistic Director and Producer of the Denver Tango Festivals over
the Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. These are two of the top tango
festivals in the US, drawing 300 - 400 of the best dancers in the country.
Teaching in Boulder & Denver since 1996, Tom is a specialist in the
rhythmic, close-embrace social style of tango typical of many clubs in
Buenos Aires. This specialty has earned him invitations to workshops and
Tango Festivals around the US and abroad, including Berlin, Moscow, Ann
Arbor, St Louis, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Portland, San Francisco,
Champaign/Urbana, Hawaii.
Tom believes, as we do, that at its best Argentine Tango is a trance, danced
so closely that you feel your partner's heart beat and share the rhythm of
their breathing. Tom believes that you can succeed more easily if you
approach tango as an improvised, rhythmic walk rather than a lot of
memorized patterns.
Tom's classes are taught with a progressive curriculum. He starts with
fundamentals, emphasizing improvisation, rhythm, music, heart & soul, and
especially the connection between the leader and follower.
He is co-teaching with his wife, Melinda Quiat. Melinda was formerly a
professional ballet dancer who has become proficient in the authentic social
style of tango. Women will be especially appreciative of her teaching,
because she gives lots of attention to the the role of the follower in the
dance of tango, stressing the importance of technique and the art of
energized and responsive following.
