PATTY LEVERETT  has a lifelong connection to music, dance and drama.  An upbringing with a musician 
  father and subsequent training in flute, piccolo and piano help her to understand and identify with the variety of 
  rhythms, tempos and moods within music.  Following early jazz, tap and ballet, Ms. Leverett studied modern, 
  ballroom, folk, ethnic and theater dance.  Since 1986, after seeing the Broadway hit "Tango Argentino" and
  then "Forever Tango", she has focused her dance studies on - Argentine Tango, Milonga and Tango Vals. 

  In Tango classes (class schedules), Ms. Leverett & partners emphasize: connections that communicate every move, 
  good posture, grounding, musicality, sensitive lead & follow skills, clean technique, refined styling, and step patterns 
  appropriate to each level.  They encourage partner sharing of the dance through musical pauses and embellishment 
  windows.  Styling and step varieties are attributed to studies with maestros Nito & Elba, Carlos & Alicia,  JC Copes,
  Gavito & Marcela, Gloria & Eduardo, Miriam & Hugo, Fabian & Carolina, Julio & Corinna, Gustavo & Giselle, Paivas, 
  Puglieses, Diego & Carolina, Fernanda & Guillermo, Rebecca, Brigitta, J Bruno, Sandor, Vega, Chicho & more ...

  KEVIN ROSSIO  has a varied musical background in classical and jazz - on cello, violin and saxophone -
  plus a personal interest in theater and the arts.  He credits his studies in Metallurgical Engineering with 
  helping him understand and decipher the structure of tango, while his deep love of art and movement studies
  help refine beauty of line, expression, centering, sensitivity, composition and flow within the dance.

  RANDY RINEHART  has been playing old time music on banjo and guitar since 1975, following in the musical
  footsteps of his father and grandfather, who played OT music.  His love affair with partner dancing began in '87 with 
  contra dancing and soon moved to cajun, zydeco, swing and tango.  Tango, as the essence of partnering dynamics, 
  soon drew him to B.A. for study.  There in '89 he 1st met Fabian Salas, who remains his major Tango influence.

  GREG THOMSEN  took his first swing lesson 45 years ago from his mother.  Several decades later he and his daughter 
  Sara revived a family tradition when they learned ballroom dance, including International Tango and later Argentine Tango.
  After attending a few classes it became necessary to study tango in some depth.  Although Tango steps are important, 
  he believes posture, balance, timing, attitude & attention to the movements of the woman are the sine qua non of Tango.
  It is these elements that give Tango its elegance - its style - its sensuality - its distinctiveness.

  Together we represent an eclectically elegant dance style, which honors the refinement of sensitive partnering 
  and individuality - while embracing the beauty, intricacy and sensuality within Tango music.  Tango can be danced
  to solo guitar, sextet or full orchestra - the movements always reflect the uniqueness of the music.
