Thank you, Ron, for the nice words about Portland in your recent post about communities. We were extremely fortunate to have Clay Nelson as our original resident teacher and primary organizer in the mid-90's. His "If it's good for tango, it'll be good for the community" approach has remained a significant factor in sustaining Portland's positive attitude toward, and acceptance of, multiple styles of dancing and teaching.
We also have several outstanding, influential, long term teachers, DJs, hosts and promoters who continue to set high standards for maintaining a cooperative/collaborative community that is based on sharing the wonders of tango, and who support individuality while emphasizing the benefits of mutuality. (Megan Pingree, Robert Hauk, Alex Krebs, Bill Alsup, and Jay Rabe for examples.) People have been known to move here because of the abundance of friendly people and great tango. We'd love to have you visit.
