Private Lessons

Private lessons are an excellent way to polish and deepen your tango.  They also are a great option for those who cannot commit to the weekly Thursday class series.  Each lesson is tailored specifically to you and your tango goals!  I can work with individual dancers, couples, or even small groups. 
Price: $70 an hour.
Sliding scale is available for students, K-12 educators, and professional dancers employed in a dance company.  Contact Matthew to schedule your lesson!​
