They attend and assist  as lead or follow in  every class and practica.             We have known Marcy for quite some time now, she has been such a tremendous treasure for Tango and I. Always willing to lend a hand, even when her wrist was broken, she was brave enough to come and help out!  We adore her optimism and positive spirit. Many students have complimented her kindness and her helpful attitude in the classroom! We asked Marcy how she got started in Tango; I started dancing Argentine tango 13-14 years ago. It didn't seduce me immediately however, as it was foreign to my background in ballroom dance. It was, frankly- work. I practiced tango walk while walking my dog, in grocery stores and parking lots. My refrigerator was my partner as I practiced my ochos.  Then one day, that magical dance- effortless, infinitely connected and relaxed- happened, and I was hooked.Like a lab rat running a maze chasing cheese, I hungrily pursued tango magic with lessons, practice and travel. I still do, and I plan to continue for as long as I am able. My work as a nurse in the army reserves taught me the benefit of perseverance and delayed gratification. Tango is well worth this effort. Would you like to learn more about the Tango Fast Track? Come talk to Sabine Tango Bootcamp!!!     Help us plant the tango seedlings by spreading the word about our upcoming tango bootcamp.
