I began learning Argentine Tango in 1999 along with other dances like salsa, merengue, swing and other ballroom dances. I was totally hooked on Argentine Tango from the beginning and, at the time, there were no milongas in Richmond, so I began traveling 3 to 4 times a week to DC, New York and North Carolina, taking classes with excellent teachers including : Pablo Fontana, Carina Losana, Joe Petrisco and Anne Sophie Villa.
In 2003, I went to CITA in Buenos Aires and took classes with Tango masters including: Fabian Salas, Carlos Gavito and the Macana brothers. I’ve been traveling regularly since then to festivals and again to Buenos Aires in 2006. I began teaching Tango in 2009 and ultimately opened TANGUEROS in 2011 to provide a venue for weekly Milongas and classes for local dancers.

,Anna León
Anna grew up in Los Angeles listening to tango music at her grandparents’ asados. After graduating from college, she decided to defer her career in architecture for her new-found love of teaching tango. For the next 5 years she split her time between touring the United States and living in Buenos Aires. After a year of living and teaching in Boston, she decided to finally settle down in Richmond in 2017.
Forever a student of the dance, she continues to learn from her mentor, Daniel Trenner in Massachusetts. When in Buenos Aires she studied extensively with her inspirations and maestros Cecilia Garcia and the late Julio Balmaceda. Anna León has taught and performed in cities across North America from Los Angeles to Montreal. When she isn't teaching, social dancing, studying, or performing, she is working on her tango shoe line, Anna León Buenos Aires, https://annaleontangoshoes.com/ and her interior design work
