Rebecca Rorick Smith
Rebecca began studying Argentine Tango in 1999, while pursuing her BFA in Eugene, OR. Quickly realizing Tango was the Art medium she had been searching for, she adopted a nomadic Tango lifestyle and then began instructing at the local Tango Center. From 2001 Rebecca has lived and taught within numerous sprouting tango communities in Oregon as well as in St Louis, MO and Juneau, AK . Some of the institutions at which she has taught include MIT, Yale, University of Oregon, University of Michigan, PSU, SOU, Catlin Gable and Linfield College. She has shared tango abroad in Great Britain, Canada, and in India, where she taught in Mumbai, Bangalore, and New Delhi. Rebecca has been fortunate to teach along side the best of North America’s professional dancers at numerous festivals and also spend ample time studying in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Rebecca has always believed in the transformative capacity the structure of Tango presents and is fueled by the metamorphosis of her students. She displays her own artistry through her carriage, creativity, and fiery grace. She offers her students accessible compassionate guidance combined with a deep understanding of both following and leading, movement, music, and technique.
