I am the Treasurer for Tango del Barrio and an Instructor for Level I classes. I dance for enjoyment in the context of practicing and continually improving on Tango fundamentals and protocols. I was introduced to Argentine Tango through a friend from the salsa community and a good tango movie.

I love to share my passion with other extant and somewhat sentient beings. Along with and apart from her, I studied with many tango legends, some of whom no longer dance in this dimension. Then, out of the east came my talented learning and subsequently teaching partner, Debby. For the next year, I wandered aimlessly into the dark and arcane world of this mysterious dance. Sometime in the late 20th century, I stumbled into Argentine tango along with a group of similarly unwitting middle-aged pilgrims. In addition to teaching, which I really enjoy, Ella and I often host our Saturday milongas where I also DJ. Around the same time we joined the board of Tango del Barrio. Around 2009 I began teaching with Ella, my dance and life partner. I started dancing in 1999, stopped for awhile and resumed in 2004, dancing continually into the present. My involvement with tango started with the music, which I remember hearing at home since childhood. I teach with Jake, my dance and life partner, serve on the board of Tango del Barrio, and often cohost our Saturday milongas. I danced for awhile, stopped for a few years and in 2004 returned to tango with a vengeance. In 1999 a group of friends and I decided to take a tango class together. I help to teach the beginner class -Reid enjoys being a DJ. We discovered a welcoming community, wonderful teachers, and a great way to keep active. It has become my tango home – I have shared many dances, made many new friends, and continue to learn so much.Ībout 14 years ago my husband Reid & I decided to take advantage of a Tango del Barrio groupon and learn to dance. I now enjoy serving on the board and teaching beginner classes at Tango del Barrio.

I was quickly made aware when it was my turn to try, that I’d have to learn how to walk again. As Director, I work to help Tango del Barrio provide a home for people to learn and dance tango by providing class instruction and social events (Milongas and Practicas) in a way that builds interest and skills in a growing and vibrant Cincinnati tango community so that we support personal growth and a feeling of inclusiveness and energy for dancers at all levels.Īfter I was invited to my first Argentine tango event, a Milonga, I watched all night and immediately fell in love with the dance. I currently dance as much as possible and serve as the Board Director for Tango del Barrio. I started dancing Argentine Tango in advance of attending a destination wedding Buenos Aires in 2009.
