DDL COVID POLICY: Detroit Dance Loft uses state and federal government mandates as a guide in operating our dance studio in these changing times. In Michigan, there is currently no statewide requirement to wear a face mask in most settings and currently no proof of vaccination requirement to patron most businesses. However, in accordance with CDC recommendations, we encourage getting vaccinated, and kindly request masks be worn regardless of vaccination status. The decision to wear a mask will ultimately be left to each individual and respected equally. Alex has been teaching Argentine Tango in Detroit for over three years.  She has been dancing tango for ten years, trained in Argentina and later NYC before moving to Detroit.  Her goal is to use dance as a tool for community building and positive social change, teaching both the dance and an appreciation for Argentine Culture.  She also teachs with Randy Fisher, both working to grow tango in Detroit.  Join us...let's have some fun and let's dance!
