                                                    This is not a gigantic ballroom dance studio where you would sit and not be noticed.  It’s a cozy, friendly place where everyone is approachable and everyone will know each other by name and as friends.  The idea building this studio is to provide people desiring to learn Argentine Tango in the South Sound in a friendly home town atmosphere.

   What you will find being taught at this studio is intensive classroom instruction taught in a workshop format that concentrates on the elements of tango.  Emphasis is paid to the intricacies and proper performance of the elements.  Patterns associated with each element will be taught to allow for variation on entering and exiting the elements.   

If you are already dancing Argentine Tango and want to better your technique, this is the place for you.  You can concentrate on any one of the elements.  Classes will be offered at different levels as required.

Comments:                   

Daisy Z, Who has been dancing Argentine Tango for ten years.  Comments: the methodology is great in that an element is continued for a month and getting into and out of an element is given considerable attention. The dance floor is excellent . I received great tips and improved considerably by the end of my first private lesson.  I would definitely recommend Backstreet Tango to everybody interested in learning Argentine Tango. 

Kazuko Schewess:   Luis is an excellent teacher very clear in the how and why of his instruction. He has an enormous amount of patience. The order in which things are taught are very logical.  Class times are always very convenient for me even upon short notice.  Luis is always challenging me. I always get more time than what we agree on. The dance floor is great to dance on. I would strongly recommend his classes to anybody.

Ralph F  I first came to Luis because he had an excellent record of training
students and I wanted all the expert training I could get. What I like
most about Luis' teaching is that he does everything in his power to
accommodate the students' needs and at a very
reasonable rate.
