Caroline
and Christopher have over eighteen years of tango dancing and fourteen
years teaching experience between them, They gained practice dancing
in the crowded milongas of their hometown, San Francisco, as well as
in Buenos Aires, Germany and Holland. Their forte is teaching dancers
how to improvise in a social setting without breaking the connection
of the close embrace. Genuine and unpretentious, their skill
instruction balances technique and aesthetics with relaxation and
intelligent navigation. Student feedback and progress testify to their
generosity of spirit, and the effectiveness of their
teaching.
Over the years, they have been invited to teach in many cities throughout the U.S. in California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, New York, Massachusetts, Texas, Utah, Arizona, Alaska, Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington DC. Their down-to-earth personalities and community-minded approach to teaching and dancing inspire repeat visits by popular demand.
