Katherine Gorsuch
Katherine's hybrid expression of tango is derived from the many dance influences in her life. Her interest began as a child, exploring various dance forms; ballet, modern dance, and flamenco. At 18, she began dancing tango in New York City. In the last year, she was partnering Robin Thomas, and has also worked with: Adam Hoopengardner, Felipe Martinez, Henry Finkelstein, and Jay Abling.
Katherine has taught at festivals in the US and in Europe and has spent the last few months teaching in Berlin. She is also one of the founding members and organizers of the Hunter College Tango Club, established in 2006. Dancing in Europe, Buenos Aires, and across the United States has contributed to Katherine's inspirational musicality and connection. She brings a youthful energy and sweet madness to the dance floor.
Adam Hoopengardner
Adam's philosophy of tango is centered on the energy one feels from one’s partner, and believes this should inspire the style and movement of the dance. Adam is cherished by followers for his comfortable, clear lead, his creativity, and inspiring musicality.

of tango including his partner Cigdem (Ciko) Tanik, Brigitta Winkler, Rebecca Shulman, Luiza Paes, Katherine Gorsuch, Sylvina Valz, and Mila Vigdorova.
