Hsueh-tze,
known for her musicality and innovative
approach, teaches Argentine Tango across North America and
internationally.
She is a life-long dancer and one of North America's tango
pioneers since 1990. Hsueh-tze
has been traveling to Buenos Aires regularly since
1998. She draws inspiration from her extensive experience
dancing with milongueros, especially at many of the classic
milongas of the early days of tango's current revival (e.g.,
Pavadita, Almagro, Regin, Canning, Sin Rumbo, etc.).
Her dance blends the richness of tango tradition with exploratory
possibilities.
Hsueh-tze
is highly regarded for her skills and astute insights.
She is equally adept at both leading and following, with
30 years of experience dancing both roles. She
has taught throughout the US, and also in Singapore, Hong
Kong, Canada, Mexico and Buenos Aires. In
her classes, Hsueh-tze integrates her knowledge of dance,
physiology and biomechanics to focus on quality of movement,
musical communication and improvisation.
Her dedicated students are sought as perceptive and musically
expressive partners, having solid fundamental skills that
enable them to develop their own style.
Hsueh-tze
hosts and DJs Blue Milonga, the popular second Saturday milonga
in Boston.
She
holds a doctorate in physiology from Harvard University, and
won a teaching award as a Harvard Teaching Fellow. Formerly
a biology professor at Wellesley College, Hsueh-tze became
one of the first professional North American tango instructors.
