Hi!

If you aspire to become a world-class tango dancer and/or instructor, I have good news of a very rare find--a tango teacher here in Miami with =
the unique skills and experience to do this---Colette Hebert, 1st place winner of the 2003 IDO US-Arg Tango Competition.

I am myself a professional dance instructor for 7+ years--and personally know 20+ worldclass, famous tango teachers, who I hosted at my own dance =
studio for week-long workshops. All are great dancers and most are great instructors as well.

Colette Hebert is quite special however. Like all worldclass instructors, Colette too is a "goddess" who dances with pure magic, =
beauty and playful creativity.

Unlike any other teacher I know, Colette actually knows how to teach absolute beginners to become world-class dancers themselves. Her =
current partner, Richard Council, danced with her to win the 1st place tango championship in 2003. He too dances like a "tango god" now, but =
just four (4) years ago, when he first met Colette, he had never danced any tango at all. Colette taught and helped Richard grow from a =
complete novice into a master dancer.

Such a teaching feat is quite rare--Colette's knowledge-ability plus Richard's long-term self-discipline. Few teachers are so
lucky to learn the fine art of long-term development, from "cradle to stage." They must contend with students who change teachers, quit, or =
become satisfied with "good." Thus most teachers do not actually know how to perfect your best artistic skills--and have already done so with =
someone else.

Thanks to Richard, Colette is now a tango teacher who has succeeded at long-term development of worldclass dance perfection. Lucky, aspiring =
"tango gods and goddesses" can contact her at www.Colette-Richard.com

Bon chance!
Stephen

I don't doubt that Collette dances beautifully, but you wrote:

It says right on their website, Richard was a ballroom dance competitor.

IMO, that removes him from the complete beginner bunch, as he probably
brought well developed physical skills in balance, coordination, posture,
moving with another persons body and learning steps to the process.

In my experience, followers having danced modern, jazz and ballet since
childhood learn in six weeks what most women take six months to learn.
This won't make them the next Eugenia Parilla of course, but I still enjoy
watching them develop so quickly.

I can't help thinking this applies to Richard as well. More than likely,
his development would have taken several more years, had he had to learn
those skills as well as Tango.
