Come meet someone whose pushing pash three frontiers simultaneously: Evan Griffiths, whose deep understanding Tango comes from his depth of experience as a highly sought after leader, follower, AND musician. "Evan is one of the most dedicated tango professionals in the US. And, in my opinion, he is the single most accomplished American male tango dancer." - Andres Amarilla "Evan is one of the most talented leaders (and followers!) around, with a refined ear for the music, and the technical understanding of the dance in order to interpret successfully what he hears.” - Alex Krebs "Evan’s glowing passion for Tango is most inspiring. His understanding of the musicality and sophisticated interpretation kept my eyes glued to his dancing. As well as being the refined leader and follower he is, I trust his approach to teaching will be rewarding to all students." - Tomas Howlin
