Every time I watch your videos
your clarity and accuracy amazes me anew.It is rewarding to see my partner's transformation...
He is more confident, and a lot more playful and creative.
I've been with 7 other Tango teachers in Melbourne, Sydney and New York.
Your videos give more relevant practical info in 60 seconds than most students get in 10 years, if ever...
I really need to compliment you on your teaching methods, because
I grow as a tango dancer very quickly with the MasterCourse, so I stopped doing regular group classes.
