What our Students have to say about DOTH Classes, Privates & Events
“I am doing remarkably well at not getting a swelled head – thank you for the warning. In the last week, I have been asked twice who my instructors were. I have had women come up to me at the milonga and ask to dance. I’ve had women I danced with previously tell me how much I had improved! I have had many lessons from masters and am still a beginner when it comes to tango. Nevertheless, the one private lesson I had with you has changed my dance experience dramatically, for the better. I am actually doing fewer complex steps, but communicating on a far deeper level with my partners; we join in the dance. I would urge anyone who has a passion for tango to work with you to express that passion more fully.” Student in Madison, WI
“Thanks for the GREAT lesson yesterday!! My husband and I had a blast. He said it was like a Tango shot-in-the-arm! We’re excited about practicing with our new ways of moving! You really helped us–we’re no longer frustrated and discouraged!” Students in Denver
“One of the things I appreciate most about you two is your spontaneity…I could take the same class over and over and never feel bored. It’s almost always fresh and alive– a reflection of your own engagement with the learning process as dancers and teachers. Oh yeah! I really really like the idea of naming your classes after various composers and orchestras.” Students in Ft. Collins
“Watching you dance, taking your workshop & dancing with you both….it’s such a pleasure to see how you have kept on growing as dancers & teachers, opening up new territories, honoring your masters & giving the secrets!” Student in Chicago
“We have been dancing for many years & have taken lessons from numerous international instructors. Deb & Brian are among the best! Their instruction is always clear, beneficial & fun! We are lucky to have such good instructors in the Denver-Boulder community.” Students in Denver
“In addition to being great teachers of all the technical material that you need to get started as a tango dancer, Deb & Brian impart an enormous amount of enthusiasm for Tango in each of their classes. This is infectious, & beginners & intermediates alike enjoy learning in a fun & exciting atmosphere.” Student in Boulder
“Our wedding & Tango were fabulous. The crowd loved us. You two are great. I liked the way you both took us at our own levels & merged us into Tango.” Newlyweds in Estes Park
“Deb & Brian are a dream come true. They teach dance with intelligence, big hearts, & plenty of positive, enthusiastic encouragement. I’ve had many tango teachers, & I began with 2 left feet – but no more! I wish I met this couple years ago.” Student in Boulder
“Deb & Brian really teach from the heart. They encourage anyone who has an interest in Tango to share their love & desire for the dance. People of all levels of ability are truly welcome to join their classes, practicas & milongas. Thanks in large part to the hard work of these two, we have a wonderful, open, thriving Tango community in Boulder.” Boulder Argentine/American Entrepreneurs
“I have participated in all activities sponsored or taught by DOTH. These activities include milongas, group classes, private lessons & special events. In all of these activities, Brian & Deb give 110{c178f97d4d2a73e35feb35eea3294bd75372c1dfd70bfadf1fc56885974cf26d}. They are skilled, energetic & committed. When teaching, they offer insightful & helpful tips to improve dance skills. In milongas & special events, they go the extra mile to make the events successful. I already have & will continue to recommend others interested in tango to study with Brian & Deb. They’re a pleasure to work with!!!” Student in Boulder
“My experience with Deb & Brian continues to help me grow & mature with tango. Each of my contacts with them, whether it’s a lesson, practica or milonga, gives me new information to integrate into my present skill set. And their approach is gentle, supportive & fun. I highly recommend this couple who represent the Dance of the Heart so splendidly.” Student in Boulder
“Having been a ballet instructor for over 20 years, I have high expectations when taking any class myself. Brian & Deb are talented dancers who graciously share their love of tango so that I come away from class uplifted. It isn’t often that you find such gifted instructors.” Student in Seattle
“We don’t hesitate to recommend Deb & Brian, Tango teachers very exceptional. If you want to learn Tango in a great, relaxed, fun & effective atmosphere, sign up with Dance of the Heart.” Students in Denver

What Our Audience Had to Say About our AIResTANGO show at The Dairy Center, May 2004
“I absolutely loved the show!” Heather
“We loved it. The notion of showing us the history of Argentine tango was great. It placed some names we knew like Gardel and Piazzola in a framweork for us. The dancing was great, as was the music and the air pieces.” Jen & Steve
“Very impressive!” Bill
“You guys were awesome… loved the show, it’s always such a treat to see you 2 tango.” Debbie
“Congratulations again! Just a spectacular performance amazingly executed!!! It was just wonderful, you two are so talented.” Jen
“We were all so impressed with the evening that we couldn’t stop talking about your show all the way home. The two of you astounded us, impressed and amazed us entirely. The narrative fit so well with the performance; informative, amusing, educational and overwhelming how you brought it all together to make musical and artistic sense. The last number where the three of you danced (which was brilliant) while that one gal was flying overhead was fantastic as the ‘encore.’ Loved the moment when the one aerialist emerged from her fabric during her solo, like a flower. Beautiful image.” Randy
“The entire show was so professional and polished and entertaining. We were all very impressed… a smashing success!” Bobbi
“There was a sold out house. After the first dance, I felt I had got more than I paid for. The dancing throughout was of a very high level… a triumph.” Roger
“What an incredible show! Truly wonderful. I was so impressed with your professionalism, the script was beautiful, your singing, particularly on the last one, your voices blended as song birds, and your new tango dancing kicked butt to allow people to see the full range and difficulty of the dance. I am so proud.” Pat Patton, Tango Colorado President
“You guys look really good. Warm and passionate and relaxed…” Katja

The singer was incredible…he was so expressive, we just loved him, and the African dancer was HOT and added so much to the show…we also enjoyed the narration, listening to all the fascinating information about the influences that inspired the tango. The band was top notch and your dancing was sexy and elegant…great show…we loved it!”
