IXI DANZA is proud to present “The Art of Tango” workshops with Hsueh-tze Lee - teacher, milonguera and deejay, from 10 March to 18 March. This workshop series consists of progressive classes, guided practicas and two special milongas to mark her stay in Singapore.

Known for her musicality and innovative approach, Hsueh-tze has been one of North America’s pioneers in Argentine Tango since 1990, the early days of Tango revival. She draws inspiration from her extensive experiences dancing with milongueros of Buenos Aires. Her dance blends the richness of Tango tradition with exploratory possibilities.

Hsueh-tze dances “Tango milonguero” - the way Tango is danced in the milongas of Buenos Aires. It is the essence of Tango - a social style that emphasizes the connection between the couple and musicality. While it looks deceptively simple, the milonguero style is a rich form of subtle body signals exchanged between the couple, that truly respects Tango’s rhythms.

Hsueh-tze is also a pioneer in North America in dancing both the leader’s and follower’s roles, hence the title “The Woman Who Leads”. With 16 years of Tango experience, she is widely sought after for her skills and insights, and regularly invited to teach at major national Tango festivals such as those in Denver, Baltimore, Portland, and Seattle. Currently a full-time Tango teacher, Hsueh-tze holds a doctorate in physiology from Harvard University and was formerly a Harvard Teaching Fellow and a biology professor at Wellesley College. In her classes, Hsueh-tze integrates her knowledge of dance, physiology and biomechanics to focus on movement dynamics, musicality, improvisation, and on the communication between partners that makes the Tango such a special dance. She will teach you not only the steps, but most importantly, how to step, thus transforming your dance. Under her guidance, students will improve their posture, balance and become a more confident and sensitive dancer.

Hear what others say about her -

“A handful of Tango classes with Hsueh-tze might just change your Tango dancing. It happened to me and since then, I call it the “Hsueh-tze’s effect”. The “Hsueh-tze’s effect” works its magic on leaders and followers because she focuses on dancing quality and body mechanic. She is by far the nicest teacher I’ve taken classes with.”

- Jean-Michel Ledeur, former Tango instructor in Singapore
