coaching and teaching workshops. She has
taught both solo and with a partner at
both Tangofest and Valentango, the two

Carter has studied various forms of ballroom and social
dance since 1996. He discovered Argentine tango in 1997 and
has specialized in it ever since. After five successive
tours to Argentina studying with many of the old masters as
well as today’s new stars, he began sharing and teaching
tango in Saint Louis.
He brings to tango a lifelong participation in athletics as
well as teaching experience in music and physical fitness.
His approach to teaching tango is a balance of light-hearted
fun and serious instruction, all the while maintaining the
improvisational nature of the Argentine tango.
Karen has been dancing most of her

Argentine Tango.
Over the past seven years, she has trained with numerous
teachers both in the US as well as Argentina. Karen is well
versed in the role of both the leader and the follower and
her
teaching approach focuses on the technical as well as the
artistic.
