About Me

Dancing is my passion... especially tango (not ballroom tango or international tango etc... simply TANGO!) I attend at least one practica or milonga a week in the Cleveland area... so if you're looking to dance let me know!

I travel a few times a year to tango events... especially ones starring Fernanda and Guillermo!
I also love Ballroom Dancing, country dancing, and am starting to toy with latin dancing.....
I love trying new wines... a couple of my favorites are Amarone and Sangiovese
Just found a new wine I like... from Argentina (wohooooo).. "Clos de los Siete" by Michael Rolland. More complex than the average S. American wine I have typically come across... strongly recommend this surprisingly good, cheap ($17/bottle in OH), and young(2005??!!) wine.
Check this out... Shalene Archer Ermis at the Cleveland DanceSport Challenge.... the word 'WOW' just isn't enough.....

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who loves or is at least curious about tango! (Did I have to say that?) Ballroom dancers too......!
