Following your heart is easier said than done, but there comes a time when the balance in one's life needs to be satisfied. When asked 'what is your day job?' I always feel a little guilty revealing that Tango is my 'day job'.  The privilege of pursuing a life in the arts takes a certain dedication.  My reward comes from watching students achieve what they constantly tell me is difficult and oftentimes 'impossible'.

Yes, in tango we manage to accomplish the impossible - miracles take a little longer - but we are artists of illusion which takes timing and precision.

Tango Fantástico is not managed single handedly, I have many supporters - family and friends who encourage me to never give up, never surrender - my web wizard who works tirelessly to make sure information gets to you via this wonderful virtual world of the Internet - studio managers with complicated timetables - but the driving force comes from students in search of higher achievement, knowledge and perfection, they challenge me and keep me sharp!
