New Class! Tango Connections

taught by En-Chi Lin

Starts Tuesday, May 20, 7:30 - 8:30p (6 week course)

Class description:  Discover the elegance and rhythm of Argentine Tango in this welcoming beginner class. "Tango Connections" focuses on the fundamentals of movement, timing, and leading or following with clear, comfortable connection. No partner or experience required—just bring comfortable shoes and an open mind. This is a perfect starting point for anyone curious about tango and ready to enjoy the music and flow of the dance.

En-Chi began her journey in partner dancing with Argentine Tango in 2008 and has been dedicated to the art of social dance ever since. From 2013 to 2015, she served as president of Dancing Illini, a student organization at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she taught a variety of social partner dances and helped organize numerous community events.

In 2018, En-Chi turned her focus more deeply toward Argentine Tango, drawn by its rich music, improvisational spirit, and expressive variety. Her passion for fostering tango communities led her to co-found the CU Tango Music Festival in 2021—an annual weekend of workshops, concerts, and milongas that brings together dancers and musicians from across the country.  

With a warm and encouraging teaching style, En-Chi loves helping dancers connect more deeply—with the music, with each other, and with the ever-evolving dance of tango itself.
