blair kaufer

Blair Kaufer found Tango during her last year of college at Western Washington University and felt immediately transformed and awakened by the dance. She enjoys the complexity and subtlety of the music and appreciates feeling rooted in her own body while connecting with others. Her style has been influenced by a number of professional instructors that she has studied with over the years, which has helped her discover more freedom and vocabulary within the dance. During her most recent travels to Buenos Aires, she studied intensively with Virginia Pandolfi y Jonatan Aguero, Mariana Dragone, and at the DNI tango school. In the local Seattle area, Blair has performed at Folklife and Dance Underground. Blair’s ten years of experience with gymnastics as both an athlete and a coach has helped her understand the body mechanics and proper alignment for the dance, as well as how to communicate these core movements to students.
