Your teachers
This class is taught by Jon and Sue.
Sue has been with ATSE since its inception in 2004. She is an experienced tanguera with the high level of conceptual and technical knowledge for which ATSE is renowned, and a warm, friendly and supportive teacher.
Moreover, she is particularly suited to enabling both leaders and followers to begin their tango journey, since she is not only an impressive follower but also an outstanding leader, able to switch roles instantly to help every member of the class, hands-on.
