Our group classes are relaxed, fun, informative, and no partner is required in group classes as partners are constantly rotated. This accomplishes two things – students get used to dancing with different partners, honing their skills for the social dance scene and everyone get a chance to meet new people and make new friends... after class stay for a while and practice your new steps... Dinner and drinks are optional... dinner & drinks at the Ukrainian is delicious and inexpensive...

Anthony Blackwell and Ye-Ling Chen have been teaching tango for many years. Using a strong psychological approach to teaching and a thorough knowledge of technique helps to convey the concepts of dance effectively making the learning process easy and enjoyable for their students. Using a holistic approach, they aid students' development in every aspect of dance and at every level, from basic beginner to professional. Cultivating a connection between dancers to foster musicality, improvisation and self-expression, with unique and innovative ideas on the social dance floor, remains "true" to the essence of the social dance. They promote a thorough understanding of the contributions of both dancers (leaders & followers) while emphasizing technique, including balance, posture, and muscle tone. Anthony and Ye-Ling are a dynamic duo. They have performed at Lincoln Center and been featured on Fox News and written up in the New York Times and countless other appearances on TV, Stage and print.
