Meet the Business Owner
Donna T.
Business Owner
Donna began dancing tango in the fall of 1999 and quickly fell in love with the tango. She had danced other dances previously, but nothing caught her heart and soul the way tango did. Seven months almost to the day of taking her first tango lesson, she opened Tango by the River. She has now danced tango all across the United States as well as in London, Paris, Prague, Montréal, and, of course, Buenos Aires. Many fabulous dancers and teachers have influenced her, including most notably Oscar Mandagaran and Georgina Vargas, Miriam Larici and Leonardo Barrionuevo, Mayte Valdes & Carlos Barrionuevo, and Eduardo Saucedo.
In her own words: «Connection … that’s I love so much about tango. When the rest of the world slips away and it’s just me and my partner moving in synchronicity with each other and with the music – that’s tango. And that’s why I started dancing this dance. Well, that and the great shoes!»
