About

About

Jon was introduced to tango in 1997, and in 2002, he started teaching weekly tango classes in Canterbury, Kent. Sarah began tango in the late Autumn of 2003. We discovered a shared passion for and commitment to this beautiful dance, and quickly became dance partners. In 2004, we started teaching together as ATSE.

During the first ten years of our tango school in Canterbury we developed our own pedagogy (philosophy and method of teaching),we are still the only tango school in Kent to offer tuition in all styles.

It has not all been plain sailing. We each gave up established careers to teach tango full time in 2007, only for Sarah to discover she required emergency brain surgery. During her recuperation, Jon and Sarah's mother, Sue, a gifted tango dancer in her own right, kept ATSE going. Sarah's experience of 'relearning' tango (albeit at an accelerated rate), though stressful, proved also valuable, enhancing her appreciation of what is required from the body and mind as one acquires the necessary skills for dancing tango. 


We are lucky to have found a partnership in which each of us brings a different approach and personality to the creation of our dance and the formulation of our teaching, yet we share a common vision of what we are aiming to achieve. In 2014, as we celebrated ten years of tango in Canterbury, we paused to formulate our tango philosophy - how and why we dance and teach tango as we do.


Into the future

Crucially, we continue to develop our own dancing, attending classes, specialist workshops and festivals, taking private tuition, and dancing as often as we can. In particular, we continue to study in Europe and Argentina with some of the very best dancers and teachers in the world, especially Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne.


We also give more formal performances, beyond the teaching context, eg. on stage or for private groups (at birthday parties, anniversary parties, and so on). Occasionally, we develop choreographies for these performances, though often we will simply improvise. Even when we present a choreography, we will always include some improvised tangos alongside, because this is the essence of real Argentine tango.
