Started late and had to figure out it was in the Ukrainian restaurant--but we had one of the best dates we've had in the city. Tango is intimate and not as intimidating as you would expect. Try it!

I've been taking classes with Jon for a few years now, which speaks for itself, and I started as just a beginner. I'm now an advanced student and pretty good dance and all thanks to Jon. His more compact classes, less structured and more programmatic approach to teaching really make one progress quickly. The bigger schools take much longer to teach the same thing and have classes sizes that I have always found to be too big. There is also a camaraderie that develops in a smaller group that makes attending milongas together much easier. So whatever your level, I very much recommend Jon as a teacher. Just GO!
