Who is Liz Haight and Masami Hirokawa
Liz began her dancing training at the age of five. She performed with the 
Jose Limon Dance Co. at Lincoln Center and later through the Julliard School of 
Dance. She was a scholarship student at the Alvin Ailey  
American Dance Center. Since 1991, Liz has focused on authentic 
club-style social dances originating in Latin America. She has been dancing 
Argentine Tango for the past eleven years. While she has studied all forms of 
the dance, her love lies in the on-body, “apilado” or  
“milonguero-style” tango – the tango of the Golden Age and the tango of the 
crowded dance floors of Buenos Aires. In this style, she has studied  
extensively with Ricardo Vidort, Alicia Pons, Susana Miller, Osvaldo & Coca 
Cartery and Maria Plazaola. 
    Liz has had her own business teaching dance for the past ten years in 
Santa Fe, New Mexico and now works full-time teaching “milonguero-style” 
Argentine Tango. In addition, she teaches weekend  
workshops nationally, and has taught at four Denver Tango festivals, both on 
her own and with the late Ricardo Vidort, a renowned and deeply respected 
milonguero of the Golden Age.  She also hosts a popular, statewide milonga in 
Santa Fe.  
Liz will be joined by her teaching partner from Sante Fe, Masami Hirokawa. 
Masami comes to tango with a deep understanding of the creative process and a 
natural, delightful ability to interpret music. 
    Liz holds an interdisciplinary Bachelor’s degree in art and psychology 
from Bennington College and a Master’s degree in clinical psychology  
from Antioch University.
