Private Tango Lessons with Donna Williams

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 opened Tango by the River in Old Sacramento on April 7, 2000. She has danced tango all across the United States as well as in London, Paris, Prague, Montreal, and, of course, Buenos Aires. “What I love so much about tango is how it connects us all together. We live in a rather sterile world with boundaries everywhere — from fences around our yards to cubicle walls that separate us from people, experience, life. But tango let’s us get close. Close and connected . . . . When the rest of the world slips away and it’s just me and my partner moving in synchronicity with each other and with the music—that’s tango. And that’s why I started dancing this dance. Well, that and the great shoes!” Now, countless hours of tango later, she enjoys helping people discover the beauty and joy of tango at Tango by the River. Join her on Tuesday nights!
