My Tango Journey in Vancouver

Email me

I started dancing tango in London, England in the Spring of 1993. On my first night I met my first legendary teacher Carlos Gavito. His influence on my dancing lasted for years.

I came to Vancouver in September 1995. We did not have Tango here then but luckily I had phone numbers to connect with dancers in Seattle. They had 2 milongas a week then, Friday and Sunday evenings. I drove 5-6 hours back and forth several times on Friday or Sundays for 2-3 hours of dancing. Crazy, huh? That's what I thought!

I started first regular Milongas here in a Greek Restaurant called Panorama on Commercial Drive in January 1996. Since then I organized several milongas, workshops as well as hosting several workshops with tango masters from all over the World. I started to teach the first Close-Embrace/Milonguero lessons and workshops after my first trip to Buenos Aires in 1998.

I performed Tango in and around BC with my dance partner Elaine Carson and the local Tango band Tango Paradiso for years. 
I also performed in international festivals including at the most prestigious tango festival Milongueando in Buenos Aires, partnering my teacher Susana Miller in 2008. I was the first non-Argentine performer in this festival.

As a Tango DJ, I am passionate about the "Golden Age" era and only play the best music of Buenos Aires with unforgettable tangos, valses and milongas. I also DJ-ed at tango festivals in North America and Europe.

I started a family in 2014 and after taking a break from active tango life, I am now excited about offering lessons and workshops again.
