About our stars:
Greg and Lera are teaching the ever expanding vocabulary of Nuevo Tango from the basics to the advanced creative process in Seattle.

Greg’s early performance career in dance extends from ballet in San Francisco to modern dance performances throughout the US and Europe. Since 1997 he has studied Tango and danced extensively throughout the US, Buenos Aires and parts of Europe.

Lera has been dancing Tango since 2002. Among her first teachers are Fabian Salas, Mario Consiglieri, Cecilia Gonzalez and Luciana Valle. From early on, she was assisting local tango teachers in all levels of classes both in Seattle and in Vancouver, BC. She has taken ballet and modern dance classes at University of Washington to improve her understanding of movement.

Greg and Lera became partners in 2004. They have taught in California, New York, Mexico, and Hawaii. Together, they strive to improve their dancing and teaching skills by attending seminars in Europe, throughout the U.S.and in Buenos Aires every year. Among their most influential teachers are Sebastian Arce and Mariana Montes, Chicho Frumboli, Eugenia Parrilla, Pable Inza, Damian Rosenthal, Celine Ruiz, and Mario Consiglieri and Anabella Diaz-Hojman. Their ongoing personal training in Gyrotonic Expansion System has been very helpful to promote relaxed, centered, clear and technically correct movement.
