For Allene, Argentine Tango is a reflection of a culture that celebrates friendship, compassion, and passion. Tango is e-motion: energy in motion.
Tango is the Spirit of "aliveness" breathed between two people and expressed in a creative burst of delightful communion. Tango is communication of one soul to another in a language unique to each couple.

Allene's dancing reflects the elegance and grace of many years of training and practice - not only in tango, but also in Yoga, Tantra, and Ken Wilber's Integral Life practice. Allene's dance experience includes training in salsa, samba, belly dance, and modern dance. Allene is a registered yoga teacher and has been given permission to teach the gold star physical practice designed by the Integral Institute.

Allene's tango influences and teachers include: Susana Miller, Richard Council & Colette Hebert, Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne, and Portland's Alex Krebs and Steven Payne. Allene has drawn from her various trainings and influences to create a class called "Grace in Motion" which includes elements that prepare one's body, spirit, emotions, and mind for this most fulfilling dance.
