OUR TEACHERS

Tova and Carlos have been dancing Argentine tango together for over a decade - and they're still just as fired up and passionate about the dance as they were when they took their first tango-steps together in Seattle in 1997. The Morenos regularly teach and perform at tango weekends and festivals across the country. Their performances are applauded for their musicality and playfulness. As instructors, the Morenos hook students with a happiness and sense of fun that is innate to their personalities, but keep students coming back with solid technique and a gentle demand for precision and hard work.

Pamela and Steve Slavsky are not Argentine, though many of her shoes are. They live near Boston, where they have been dancing tango together ever since the new millennium. Having studied tango relentlessly for years with varied instructors both great and inspiring; traditional yet innovative; Argentine and otherwise, they try to enjoy and share its simple charms as a social dance. They have been teaching tango together for about three years and, with friends, organize local tango events such as the Odd Tuesday Milonga. They continue to learn about tango and other things. Steve is a tango DJ and Pamela is studying to become a teacher of the Alexander Technique. They both enjoy long walks with their dog.

Kirill Shklovsky started dancing tango in 2001 in Portland Oregon with Alex Krebs. He's danced in over a dozen cities in eight different countries, and over the years has studied with many different teachers whose styles range from milonguero to nuevo. For Kirill the essence of tango is in music and connection and that is what he tries to communicate to the students. He is currently serving his time as the president of the MIT Argentine Tango Club.
