About the TANGOCENTRIC Dance Project

The TANGOCENTRIC Dance Project is a learning environment where students study, learn and perform. Our dance projects are a unique blend of tango based choreographies and classic dance forms. These dynamic works of contrasting styles create beautiful and thoughtful dance theatre.

"Using dance as a way of expression, Susan Lake found in the mystery of the tango, a way of blending and expressing a whole array of human emotions.  She is a combination of passion and excellence rarely found in a single person."
