Private Argentine Tango Lessons

Wendy L. Hatanaka
Argentine Tango Instructor

Private lessons for beginner and intermediate students.

For the beginner I can get you started in the dance with basic movements and an introduction to musicality. However, please be advised that there is a huge learning curve and it is not a dance that you can learn in one or two lessons.

For the already initiated intermediate dancer I can help you improve your musicality and your understanding of the role you play as a leader or follower so that you can improve your technique and become a better dancer. I feel that one of the biggest mistakes intermediate dancers make is that they are unaware of what they are doing wrong and therefore do not continue to grow. This is a difficult dance to learn, but the rewards of learning it well are well worth the time and effort!

My dance background consists of dancing Argentine tango for 10 years and taking lessons from various instructors from local teachers to international teachers including many from Buenos Aires and have travelled to Buenos Aires to experience tango at it's roots.
Prior to dancing Argentine tango I danced ballroom for three years, and since I've made the switch I have never looked back.
I am an active member of the tango community. I co-host the Tuesday night milonga - Milonga del Martes at the Polish Community Centre, co-host the Granville Island Outdoor Milongas in the summer and I have a weekly practica held on Wednesdays at Edam Dance Studio.
