Hsueh-tze
is known for her connection, musicality
and innovative teaching. She has taught Argentine Tango
for over 30 years, both across North America and internationally
(e.g., Singapore, Hong Kong, Mexico & Buenos Aires).
A life-long dancer, Hsueh-tze is one of North America's tango
pioneers. She is also among the country's first
women leaders, dancing both roles since 1990.
While Hsueh-tze's early tango exposure came from classes ranging
from salon to nuevo, she ultimately learned to dance in
the milongas of Buenos Aires. Since 1998, she danced extensively
with milongueros from tango's Golden Age at many of the classic
milongas that thrived in the early days of
tango's current revival (e.g., Pavadita, Almagro, Regin, Canning,
Sin Rumbo, Niño Bien, etc.). Though
milongueros all danced differently (having developed their
individual dance over a lifetime), they shared a common regard
for the importance of the music and of the embrace.
Over
the years, Hsueh-tze applied her background in physiology
and biomechanics to develop ways to help students move elastically,
efficiently and musically; and refine their connection with
the diverse range of partners typical of social tango. Her
dedicated students are highly sought for their partnering
skills and musical voice.
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 transitioned
to be one of the first full-time professional Argentine tango
instructors of North America.
