During my BA in Dance & Related Arts at Chichester University, I started offering Argentine Tango classes because my choreography and dance teacher, Dale Thompson, said during a class: "If you really want to know something, teach it!" The classes attracted a nice group of enthusiasts, as there was very little happening in that area in 1999, except for Tracie's Club in Southampton and Carola's classes in Brighton. I taught both lead and follow roles on my own, and I am doing this to this day. Of course, I would incorporate exercises from techniques I was studying, such as Skinner Release Technique, Contact Improvisation, Cunningham Technique, etc... The students often requested those exercises as they provided a gentle and effective warm-up.
I have never been a full-time tango teacher, as that is not in my interest.
Since 2016 I have been offering courses at the City Lit College. Please see below for information on the upcoming ones.
Lastly, I share a video from a 2006 tango performance at the Flora Hall (Royal Opera House, London). The first legs you see are mine!
