Argentine Tango                

I started dancing tango in 2002 in Washington, DC. I took classes with several instructors and learned something different from each of them. 

In April 2004, I traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina to learn tango "at the source".  It was a very exciting trip, but I stopped dancing for a year following the trip to Buenos Aires.  I was overwhelmed with everything that I did not know and believed I could not do.  This was sad, especially for the five pairs of tango shoes that I had just purchased.  A friend said to me "well, Lois, what are you going to do with all those tango shoes, wear them to the supermarket?"

A year later, in April 2005, I was walking to work and passed a Turkish restaurant called Meze in Adams Morgan.  There was a "tango lesson" sign outside which used to mock me every morning on my way to work.

Finally, in June, I decided to walk in and take a lesson.  That was a changing point in my life.  I loved the place and have been dancing ever since.

I now instruct beginner tango with my partner Dennis Sadler.
