Testimonials:

I have been dancing Argentine Tango for almost two years now, Greg & Lera have been my guides since the start and I could not consider myself luckier. I think that Greg & Lera are the best teachers in Seattle. Greg & Lera are always able to provide that perfect balance of interesting movement with technique. I am always amazed at how they are able to breakdown complex moves into several simple steps related to a very fundamental concept. Their willingness and patience to share their knowledge has enable me to achieve my goal of dancing.

Christopher Crammond

Greg and Lera are easily one of the most distinguished teaching couples in the country. Not only are they invariably the ones who people are watching at the milongas, but they possess a wealth of knowledge about the dance that is nearly encyclopedic. Their popularity, accessible teaching style, and distinct high quality of dance among their students are a testament to their skill. They provide a tremendous source of inspiration for dancers of all levels, and their ongoing pursuit of knowledge and new ways of expressing themselves creatively have kept their dance as well as their teaching fresh and unweathered. Their obvious and earnest passion for teaching comes through in their group as well as private instruction in an atmosphere that is friendly, supportive, and individualized. I have personally experienced and witnessed significant breakthroughs as a result of their incisive diagnostic ability and approachable instruction. They are a treasure!
