RITA YANSON studied classical ballet in Russia for eight years at a 
sister studio of the famous Vaganova Ballet School.  The Vaganova Ballet 
School has trained all the famous Russian ballet dancers. Rita has a 
vast experience of performance in the Russian ballet productions.

She started her tango career at the Sacramento studio of Tango by the 
River and continued to study tango in San Francisco and Buenos Aires. 
The most important influence on her style of dancing and her teaching 
methodology was Andrea Monti, who trained her in tango technique for an 
extensive period of time.

At present, Rita Yanson teaches the Saturday program (levels 1-3) and 
tango technique at Tango by the River with her partner Paul Wheeler. 
Rita also assisted El Gato and Andrea at the Lake Merritt Dance Center

follower and the leader.
