  Tony and Ilana are some of the most approachable and friendly tango instructors around! They have come to teach several Argentine Tango workshops at our studio and they have been amazing each time! They are able to make tango easy to understand and bring fun and humor into the process. You couldn't find more helpful and supportive people in the dance world. We can't wait to have you back up!

  Review of Tango Argentino, April 13, 2009

  Tony and Ilana are really Great teachers! My husband and I have been taking classes from them for about 3 years and find they continuously present their classes and material with a fresh approach. Tango is not a dance one can learn quickly, it requires a passion for the form and music which they definately have. And yet with just a few simple moves it can be Enjoyed quickly by a beginner in a social dance setting. Tony and Illana also provide that in their weekly Milonga dances.

  One of the things I find outstanding is their ability to present the material from a variety of perspectives. After all these years teaching they clearly understand that their students are a mix of learners. And they are able to teach any given step from several perspectives so that every student will eventually understand and be able to start mastering the step. They are VERY encouraging and Welcoming to every new student and all returning students. Although it is easy to get a bit serious and concentrated while learning a new dance, Tony and Illana lighten it up with laughter and humor with out ever loosing their commitment to expand your joy of the Dance! Their Weekly Milonga is a great place to use all your new steps. I definately recomend them for any level of student.

  I have been taking Argentine Tango lessons from Tony and Ilana for about 5 years now and can't praise them enough! Their style is unique and amazing to watch and learn. As teachers they are very patient and take the time to make sure you understand each step thoroughly. After 5 years I am still learning and I get something new from each lesson. Not only do they teach but they put on a tango dance weekly that is the best in Seattle so you can dance the steps you have learned in an Argentine atmosphere. You won't be disappointed!

  Review of Tango Argentino, March 16, 2009

  In my estimation Ilana Rubin and Tony Fan are absolutely Seattle's best tango teachers. They have been studying, dancing and teaching together for over 10 years, and it shows.
  First, they are incredibly beautiful dancers. It's not easy to be really good at tango. It takes years of dedicated study and practice. Tony and Ilana have put in that time and effort. They have learned from experts and have become experts, themselves.
  Second, teaching isn't something that "just anybody" can do, especially in the close team teaching required of partner dancing. It takes a special kind of talent and skill. Tony and Ilana are talented as teachers and they have developed and honed their skill so that their teaching is clear and precise and their teaching style is easy to understand and learn from.
  Third, maintaining the delicate balance between teaching partners, and addressing the needs of both leads and follows takes particular skill in teaching dance. Tony and Ilana have developed and refined that skill very well, so both leads and follows get precisely the information and practice they need to learn their part in the dance.
  I always recommend Tony and Ilana when students ask about learning tango. They are Seattle's best tango teachers.
