About Meg

Meg Crosby has been dancing tango for 25 years. She began her training at the (now-closed)Tango...Nada Más, a tango school in Chicago. It was there that she had the opportunity to studywith many distinguished Milongueros, including Gavito; Nito and Elba; Leandro Palou and AndreaMissé; and Oswaldo Zotto. She danced with Zotto and remembers that his embrace feltlike velvet. As she recalls, he had a light, gentle touch and yet, he had complete control. Fromhim she discovered that a follower may not remember the steps a leader leads, but the memory ofa good embrace is never forgotten.

In 2000 she joined the newly established Milwaukee Tango, and she has been an active memberof the community ever since. For many years she took classes from Marek Szotkowski and NinaTatarowicz. Currently, she studies with Jacques and María, Jesica Arfenoni, and Maxi Cristiani,whenever he is in Chicago. She supplements her tango training with weightlifting, a vigorousIyengar yoga practice, and multiple, daily walks with Edo, her smooth fox terrier.

Meg holds a Ph.D. in Romance Languages (Spanish and Portuguese) from the University of New Mexico. For 35 years she taught Spanish language, and Latin American literature and culture courses at several colleges and universities. She is an avid traveler and has traveled extensively throughout Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean. She especially likes Argentina and France.

Meg is honored to facilitate a workshop at Café Coda. She looks forward to sharing herknowledge of tango, to coaching new and experienced students, and to learning from her fellow Tangueros/as.
