Rebecca Rorick Smith
Rebecca began studying Argentine Tango in 1999, while pursuing her BFA in Eugene, OR. Quickly realizing Tango was the Art medium she had been searching for, she adopted a nomadic Tango lifestyle and then began instructing at the local Tango Center. From 2001 Rebecca has lived and taught within numerous sprouting tango communities in Oregon as well as in St Louis, MO and Juneau, AK . Some of the institutions at which she has taught include MIT, Yale, University of Oregon, University of Michigan, PSU, SOU, Catlin Gable and Linfield College. She has shared tango abroad in Great Britain, Canada, and in India, where she taught in Mumbai, Bangalore, and New Delhi. Rebecca has been fortunate to teach along side the best of North America’s professional dancers at numerous festivals and also spend ample time studying in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Rebecca has always believed in the transformative capacity the structure of Tango presents and is fueled by the metamorphosis of her students. She displays her own artistry through her carriage, creativity, and fiery grace. She offers her students accessible compassionate guidance combined with a deep understanding of both following and leading, movement, music, and technique.

Eric Lindgren
Eric’s passion and ambition for Argentine Tango have been apparent from the moment he started dancing. Within weeks of his first class, he had moved to Buenos Aires. Over the following few years he made frequent trips to Argentina becoming increasingly certain of his desire to teach the dance professionally. In 2007 he began teaching full time at the well known Dance Manhattan in New York.
Since then he has worked extensively throughout the United States. Having lived and taught in many of the largest tango communities in North American (including New York, San Francisco, and Portland, OR), Eric decided to spend a full year touring with his partner, Rebecca Rorick Smith. Their teaching has taken them to locations as distinct as Juneau, AK, Ashville, NC, and Devon, England, with many stops in between.
Eric’s teaching focuses on strong use of metaphor and imagery with an emphasis on holistic learning. He believes that by transforming the way we see and relate to our partner, the music, and our movements as a whole, we can progress with the greatest ease and efficiency.
