Known for her musicality and innovative approach, Hsueh-tze teaches
Argentine Tango at international festivals and across North America.  A
life-long dancer, Hsueh-tze has been one of North America's pioneers in
Argentine Tango since 1990.  She draws inspiration from her extensive
experience dancing with milongueros of Buenos Aires.  Her dance blends the
richness of tango tradition with exploratory possibilities.

Equally adept in both leading and following with 16 years of experience
dancing both roles, Hsueh-tze is sought for her skills and insights.  She
has taught in Mexico, Canada and throughout the US, including at major
festivals in Denver, Portland and Seattle.  In her classes, Hsueh-tze
integrates her knowledge of dance, physiology and biomechanics to focus on
movement quality, partner communication, musicality and improvisation. She
imparts a dynamic and distinctive perspective to her students.  Hsueh-tze
hosts and DJs Blue Milonga, the popular second Saturday milonga in Boston.

Hsueh-tze holds a doctorate in physiology from Harvard University, and won a
teaching award as a Harvard Teaching Fellow.  Formerly a biology professor
at Wellesley College, she now teaches tango full-time.
