Smashing smiles and quirky jokes guaranteed at Liz Yannick
Vanhove's tango classes! This was two years ago and we
can't wait to embrace them back into the community again

lessons- something for all dancers!! Complete details

Liz and Yannick Vanhove have returned to Houston!
European Tango Champions, Liz and Yannick Vanhove, are
returning to Houston in October and November to teach
group lessons and intensive weekend workshops. This time
they will be focusing on musicality and mastering advanced
concepts.
Here are some of the things other Houston tangueros like
most about their teaching:
“They are patient, knowledgeable and give great
feedback. And they are so much fun!”
“Technical explanations as to why things work or
not. Personal attention, while in a group class.”
“How they keep everything in balance and everyone’s
attention fresh. They have knowledge of tango in many
aspects and their respect for tango shows in their
lessons.”
In addition to being excellent instructors, Liz and Yannick
are genuinely interesting in building up the Houston Tango
community and have chosen Houston as the first home of
their tango school, Tangorrion. This unique relationship
allows them to return to Houston on a regular basis to help
dancers improve and grow. Because they continue to explore
the richness of tango and develop new techniques, they
are able to bring to fresh ideas and new techniques every
time they visit. We welcome them back with a warm abrazo
tanguero and look forward to what they have to teach us.
