If you asked Mike where the turning point was, he would probably tell you it fell somewhere between driving twelve hours for a weekend festival and putting his chances of graduating college on time at risk so he could fit in a trip to Portland for Valentango.
Mike has studied privately with a plethora of world renowned teachers including Alex Krebs, Tomas Howlin, Brigitta Winkler, Homer and Cristina Ladas and Robin Thomas to just name a few.
Mike’s philosophy on tango revolves around an emphasis on pure kinesthetic communication. He works to empower both the leader and the follower to take control of their own voice within the dance.
Mike is available for private lessons in NY from Sept 14 until the 24th. Contact Mike at:
