A life-long dancer, Hsueh-tze has been one of North America's pioneers in Argentine Tango since 1990. She draws inspiration from her extensive experience dancing with milongueros of Buenos Aires. Her dance blends the richness of tango tradition with exploratory possibilities.

She has taught in Mexico, Canada and throughout the US, including at major festivals in Denver, Portland and Seattle. In her classes, Hsueh-tze integrates her knowledge of dance, physiology and biomechanics to focus on movement quality, partner communication, musicality and improvisation. She imparts a dynamic and distinctive perspective to her students. Hsueh-tze hosts and DJs Blue Milonga, the popular second Saturday milonga in Boston. Hsueh-tze holds a doctorate in physiology from Harvard University, and won a teaching award as a Harvard Teaching Fellow. Formerly a biology professor at Wellesley College, she now teaches tango full-time. More about Hsueh-tze at: http://www.bluetango.org/
