As a teacher, my approach to tango is rooted in clarity, structure, and presence. I believe tango is best learned by building a solid foundation — one that supports confidence, creativity, and authentic expression over time.
In my classes, we work progressively, combining:
* Clear structure and technique
* Body awareness and connection
* Musical understanding
* Improvisation and personal expression
Rather than simply memorizing sequences, students learn how tango works. They learn sequences by understanding them, breaking them down into their fundamental elements — gaining the tools to adapt, combine, and create their own dance with intention.
These classes are open to anyone curious about Argentine tango — whether you’re taking your first steps or looking to deepen your understanding. Each class offers space to learn at your own pace, be challenged where you are, and enjoy the process of moving, listening, and dancing together.
Starting in February, I’ll be offering weekly Argentine Tango classes in Chattanooga:
📍 Location: Emilie Cole Studios (St. Elmo, Chattanooga)
🗓️ Thursdays 7:30 p.m.
⏱ Duration: 1 hour
What we’ll work on:

(including variations and simple combinations)
• Technique
Individual technique and partner technique
Balance, posture, weight transfer, and clarity of movement
