Nicholas Walker
Nicholas is known for his knowledge of the subtleties and nuances of Argentine Tango. His dance reflects discipline and respect for the intricacies of Argentine Tango. His teaching is characterized by the desire to impart the fundamental skills required of leading and following at all levels.
Growing up in Argentina and Chile gave Nicholas an early affinity for Latino culture and unique insights into the music and dance of the area.
