About Us

ROXANNE McKENNEY-MAIER

Roxanne has been a social and competitive dancer and teacher since 1985. She has trained extensively in the United States as well as in Argentina and Cuba.  Roxanne has performed in La Ideal and Nino Bien (Buenos Aires) as well as in Europe and across the United States. She regularly brings master teachers to the Saint Louis area for master classes and dance events.

In addition to offering group and private lessons in Saint Louis, Roxanne travels nationwide coaching and teaching workshops. She has taught both solo and with a partner at both Tangofest and Valentango, the two largest dance festivals in North America.  She brings her experience and love of dance and music into the classroom. Her classes are technical and precise but her method makes it fun and easy which allows students to get back to the enjoyment of listening to great music and dancing at the same time!

Although fluent in most dance styles she offers group classes only in today's most popular social dances: Argentine Tango, Salsa, and Swing.  Ballroom and wedding dance classes can be arranged on an individual basis.


CARTER MAIER

Carter has studied various forms of ballroom and social dance since 1996.  He discovered Argentine tango in 1997 and has specialized in it ever since.  After five successive tours to Argentina studying with many of the old masters as well as today’s new stars, he began sharing and teaching tango in Saint Louis.

 He brings to tango a lifelong participation in athletics as well as teaching experience in music and physical fitness.  His approach to teaching tango is a balance of light-hearted fun and serious instruction, all the while maintaining the improvisational nature of the Argentine tango.



KAREN MOEHSMER

Karen has been dancing most of her adult life. She began with ice dancing, a love which would lead to a gold medal in ice dancing, numerous performances in ice shows, and a career in teaching. Her love of dance included studying ballet, jazz and ballroom, and finally, Argentine Tango.
Over the past seven years, she has trained with numerous teachers both in the US as well as Argentina. Karen is well versed in the role of both the leader and the follower and her teaching approach focuses on the technical as well as the artistic.



ROBERT MCKENNEY

Robert grew up around dancing.  He has watched hundreds of lessons and worked with countless teachers over the years.  Because of this his dancing is great blend of intuition and technical expertise.  His areas of specialty are Argentine Tango, Salsa and Swing but he is also well versed in the other Latin styles of dance such as Bachata, Merengue, etc.  He is one of the new generation of dancers that is incredibly creative and full of energy.  He studies every year in Argentina to stay on the cutting edge of the dance scene and his generous spirit and friendly attitude make him a great teacher to work with.
