Tango enthusiast and teacher Alicia Jumar-Loffler has over 30 years of experience as modern dance teacher. Born in Argentina, the Tango has always been a part of Alicia's life. Her parents met dancing "Nostalgias" in Buenos Aires and she remembers dancing as a small child in the arms of her father.
