About
I have been dancing tango for 23 years and Cuban salsa for 25 years. I toured the world with five major dance companies, dancing as a principal dancer in the most beautiful theaters, from San Francisco to the Baltic Sea. I have been to Argentina 14 times, where I was in two tango shows and have had the honor of studying with the greatest tango masters. I also have studied Cuban dance extensively from Master Roberto Borrell and Roy Land! I have been dancing professionally since I was a child, and being able to share with others the beautiful expressions of dance makes life fulfilling for me! Currently, I teach Argentine tango and a variety of Cuban dances, including Cuban salsa at two colleges, College of San Mateo and Skyline college in San Bruno. I simply love what I do. I am passionate about acquainting the dances of love to others! I have found such joy in helping couples prepare for their wedding dances and teens learn for their quinceaneras! To be a part of such beautiful events has really been rewarding for me, and as a bonus, I have built such great friendships with my students! To see more of my background and read my reviews, I welcome you to visit San Francisco Tango by going to my website! I look forward to sharing my lifetime of dance experience with you!

Taking dance lessons with Ken was such a marvelous experience! He hosted his lessons at his home atop a hill overlooking the Bay, which really set the stage. We had taken dance lessons before, but felt awkward and out-of-sync trying to mimic a series of "fancy" moves. Instead, Ken started us off by making sure we were comfortable with the fundamentals and built up from there. He is a very patient and accommodating instructor, who worked around our schedule. He listened very closely to our feedback and gave us a completely customized experience. His experience, professionalism, and overall friendliness are what make him a superstar instructor. We can't wait to showcase our newly acquired skills during our first dance!

Excellent, personable approach. Solid teaching skills. High level of enthusiasm and communication. Provides an ambiance that defuses peoples fears about learning a very difficult dance and where they can enjoy the experience. Ken's approach does more than just teach a difficult skill, it gives people a lifelong love of dance. As a major plus, his students quickly find themselves in a class full of friends rather than strangers. Highly recommended!

Ken is something very rare in dance, not only is a master of dance he is a master instructor. He truly takes the time to build foundations and is incredibly patient, which is hard to find with such a technical dance as the Argentine Tango. His enthusiasm and passion is the icing on the cake. If you want to love dancing and excel at the same time look no further than Ken!

I really love Ken's class. He is my first dance teacher, and I have had a lot of good experience from his classes. He knows what he teaches and enjoys his job. He also pay attention to details. I highly recommend his class if you are trying to be a good dancer and really want to learn.
