For those new to the tango, private lessons can be an excellent way to get comfortable with the fundamentals of tango before you join a group lesson or begin dancing tango socially. For those with a little more tango experience who perhaps are currently studying tango in group lessons, private lessons can be an excellent way to work on specific problem areas or to make sure that bad habits are recognized and stopped before they become ingrained. And for those more intermediate/advanced dancers, private lessons can be an excellent way to further refine your tango and perhaps even develop your performance skills.
Bio of Donna Williams, studio owner & main instructor
Donna began dancing tango in the fall of 1999 and quickly fell in love with the tango. She had danced other dances previously, but nothing caught her heart and soul the way tango did. Seven months almost to the day of taking her first tango lesson, she opened Tango by the River. She has now danced tango all across the United States as well as in London, Paris, Prague, Montreal, and, of course, Buenos Aires. Many fabulous dancers and teachers have influenced her, including Oscar Mandagaran and Georgina Vargas, Carlos and Maria Rivarola, Miriam Larici and Hugo Patyn, Marcos Questas, Orlando Paiva Jr. & Mariana Melling, Pampa & Valeria Cortes, Marcelo Solis and Romina Hahn, Fabian Salas and Carolina del Rivero, Claudia Mendoza & Luis Castro, and Lucianna Valle--just to name a few.
Now, countless hours of tango later, she enjoys helping people discover the beauty and joy of tango. Donna excels at breaking down difficult concepts and reducing complex steps to their simplest components.
