Reviews of Miriam Lea | Tango Dance Instructor

Tamara Demarco

Miriam Lea is a great Argentine tango teacher, very entertaining! She makes it fun and doable. She teaches beyond steps that need to be followed, emphasis in connection and with the music! I really like that she knows how the body needs to move in the dance and she helps you pointing out small details that you don't realize. I also like her passion for this dance & music!

Celina Nelson

My first class with Miriam was a special Chacerera class. As a dancer, I wanted to try a new Argentinian Folk Dance. I was challenged but Miriam made it fun and took time out of the class to work with me one on one so I could find the unique rhythm in the music. Her teaching style is clear and fun!

Cathy Baldwin

Miriam did such an excellent job of truly describing how we were to position our bodies to make this be a positive dance experience. My date and I are just starting to get to know one another and this was a fun, comfortable way to learn something new that we might continue to do together in the future! I highly recommend Miriam as a dance instructor!

I had a great time at Miriam's tango bootcamp! She brings her expert knowledge of tango and high energy vibe into the room, which is inspiring and motivating at the same time. She was able to give individual attention to each student and answer everyone's questions. The bootcamp was inclusive for people of various walks of life and levels of dance knowledge- Miriam made everyone feel welcome! I would also recommend taking a private lesson or two with her if you get a chance: she is a very persistent but an amazingly patient teacher! Miriam made sure I truly understood the technique I was working on and was able to execute it mutiple times. I never learned such a great volume of material in such a brief time before like during the weekend with Miriam and my bootcamp classmates!

I have know Miriam for over a year and she has been amazing! I’ve taken serval private and group lessons with her, along with having her come to my town to teach weekend workshops. She has gone above and beyond to help me reach my tango goals and I am so happy that was able to meet her! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my tango journey!

Lizzie Davis

Miriam is an unbelievably gifted dance instructor who has the rare ability to make every student feel comfortable! I came into her bootcamp as a complete beginner and had such a great time. I would recommend this experience to anyone.

Rupinder Singh

Miriam is an incredible instructor and makes her classes fun, lot of attention to posture with emphasis on strong basics and is the nucleus for building tango communities in twin cities. Highly recommend her for your Tango evolution.

Carrie Mason

I took a Tango intro class (by myself!) from Miriam at Del Sur. Miriam took the time to check in on everyone, made people comfortable and broke down the steps so I could understand and feel the proper moves. I have never taken a tango or any dance class previously. It was a wonderful time; I plan to take another class soon!

Sedat Gunes

Miriam has a systematic and almost a scientific approach to the great dance of tango. She easily demystifies it for the beginners and provides an easy to follow framework. Her emphasis on fundamentals of tango and the friendly atmosphere that she facilitates have been very helpful.

Visiting Twin Cities, in August 5-7th of 2022, I had such a great pleasure meeting Maestra Miriam Lea , and participating on hers Tango’s Bootcamp. Hospitality and professionalism… nailed. It was worth each and every dollar spent. Miriam’s tango’s steps and body techniques, blown my mind off. I highly recommend her knowledge to anyone whom wants to bring your tango dancing skills to the next level. Sonja Oliver- San Francisco, Ca

After a two year break from dancing, I felt the need to attend a couple of classes to revisit the basics. With some online search, I found a class by the name ‘Continue Tango’ by Miriam. The class description resonated with what I was looking for. So, I immediately decided to give it a try. It was a 2 hrs class. I arrived a little early and got a chance to talk to some of the other people who had attended a class before. They were very nice people and shared that Miriam is an amazing instructor and the class has helped them improve. Once the class started, I soon realized what my fellow dancers meant! Throughout the class, Miriam made us do some very good exercises and gave individual attention to each person. She helped me see my areas of improvement and showed me how to improve my technique and posture. I could immediately notice a significant improvement in my dancing experience after her feedback. There is one thing I really liked about Miriam - she is really committed to help each individual improve. She observes and helps you understand what is going wrong and what specifically needs to be done to address it. She shows you how much difference it would make once it is addressed. There is so much to learn and to improve on, and if you like the process, you will enjoy the sessions! If you are someone considering getting into tango or if you are someone looking to improve your technique, I highly recommend you to start here.

I have been taking dance classes for about a decade, and Miriams instruction ranks incredibly highly. She has knowledge of the technical aspects of tango that not only help me lead and follow tango, but are applicable to many other dance styles as well. She packs a lot of info into an hour session, and gives plenty of ideas for training on your own at home and while going about your day. Also the scheduling process is incredibly easy, very dependable and has her calendar organized. Great to work with!

Brian Spellman

If I was in her area I would want to study frequently. Miriam will transform your dance overnight, and I really mean *your* dance. She will help you discover how to dance as your truest and most comfortable self. Acute, sharp communication and a great sense of humor to boot!

Peter Radford

In some ways I have been a long term beginner, so I really appreciated the way Miriam and Guillermo broke down the steps into smaller elements during lessons. This really helps me to smooth out my dancing and have a more instinctive feel. It was also just fun learning new techniques. Comparing the dances I do know (ballroom, tap, Latin, west coast swing, etc.) with tango has helped me to realize differences and similarities in technique. I'm happy that tangeras have commented on my progress at practica. Also, I'm a working guy with kids, so good communication, calendar reminders, and flexible scheduling are important and keep me on track.

I recently had my first Argentine Tango lesson/experience with Miriam and Guillermo. By the end of the hour, I felt very comfortable with the basic eight steps. Miriams' style of teaching is engaging and hands-on. She creates a safe space to learn and feel the connection between leader and follower. I had an extremely positive experience, and I will definitely return.

Anastasia Verdoljak

Wonderful instructor and group with whom to learn and try a bit of Argentine tango! Now the path ahead to keep learning is a little less of a mystery...looking forward to doing this again.

Scott Hanggi

In my experience many dance instructors will sometimes try to invent workarounds or compromises to make a lesson easier for students. These workarounds don't feel as good to your partner and can be less safe. Miriam doesn't compromise, she is only interested in producing high quality dancers. She is extremely knowledgeable in anatomy and biomechanics, so she loves to explain why things work and how to move your body safely. It makes her stand out as an instructor and gives me confidence that she will point me in the right direction. I am always impressed by how many things I learn in a lesson. People remember most of all how you make them feel. Doing things the right way makes your partner feel good, and will keep them coming back to you. People notice how much I have improved; I get a lot of compliments now!

I had stopped dancing tango for several years. After taking classes with Miriam, my interest in tango was revived and my dancing has improved greatly due to her instruction. Together, Miriam and Guillermo have the ability to dynamically lead a lesson starting from deceptively simple ideas and build up to far-reaching concepts that appear in many aspects of dancing Argentine tango.

Elise Steichen

Miriam is an excellent dancer and teacher. She quickly assesses areas of improvement and provides great advice about how to get better. I have attended a group seminar with her and Guillermo, a "practilonga" she organized, and private classes and have learned from each experience. I feel like I've learned a lot and made great improvement in only three classes and can't wait to see where I go from here! She supports you learning whichever role you want to dance whether it be leading or following. Her class gives me a lot to look forward to during these times. Gracias, Miriam!!

Bob Barnes

Miriam is a fabulous dancer and a very patient, contentious teacher. She breaks down tango into a few basic rules that make the dance just work. If you are brand-new to Tango, you are in for a treat. If you have taken lessons elsewhere, she will tighten up your form and make moves seem easier and more graceful!

Dan C.

Together Miriam's and Guillermo's deep love and knowledge of the dance, the music and the culture of Argentine tango is reflected in their teaching. Their teaching is characterized by technical excellence and artistic creativity. They break the language of the tango dance apart and put it back together in a way that is clear, and that opens up unlimited possibilities.I feel fortunate for the opportunity to learn tango and study tango with them.

Zulma Beniquez

Never had taken tango lessons before. Her teaching method is easy to follow and made the class really fun. Highly recommend Miriam!!

Charlie Short

Miriam makes dancing look easy and get students excited to learn. She embodies the dance in a way that transcends the art, and makes learning Argentine Tango fun.

Gene Eckhoff

Miriam and Guillermo are wonderful tango instructors that offer a deep understanding of the dance with excellent technical instruction for beginner and advanced dancer!

Charisse Pickron

Miriam has extensive knowledge of the culture and dance of Argentine Tango. She is committed to student growth and building community. Wonderful teacher to have!

Eva Zimet

Miriam's grace, good humor and knowledge make her a wonderful teacher. I'm lucky to have crossed paths with her!

Carolina Li

What a fantastic class! Miriam made it so fun and so easy. Can’t wait to take the next class!

Chris Ketchum

It was good to confront my discomfort in social settings as well as how I may affect others in social settings. I learned a breakdown of the basic 8s and hope to have a good time with others in the future. Meet new people and have a good time. Thank you Miriam for working with me and taking the time to help me work out kinks to connect better with others

Ruben Moreno

Miriam Lea is one of the most dedicated professionals in the Tango world that I have ever met. Here passion & dedication is fundamental. I still have memories of how she helped me to loose fear & gain the best techniques for starters. With out a doubt I'd recommend this fabulous woman for stunning performances and dance coaching. Miriam Lea is an incredible dancer.
