Current Cincinnati Ohio Tango Instructors:

Michael Wizer

         Michael began dancing tango more than twenty years ago. The foundation of his dancing comes from Danel and Maria in New York City. Early in his development he had the good fortune to see and take classes with some of the great show dancers and milongueros from the earlier generation, such as Juan Carlos Copes, Maria Nieves, Pepito Avellaneda, as well as some of the more contemporary dancers, such as Miguel and Osvaldo Zotto, Milena Plebs, and Gustavo Naviera. More off his recent development comes from teachers such as Brigitte Winkler and Tomás Howlin, who are gifted at explaining how the dance works.

        He taught weekly tango classes for 9 years beginning in Pittsburg, and is proud to have had an important role in getting the dance community started there. He subsequently visited Lexington, getting that tango community started. He has taught in Cincinnati for the last fifteen years.
