Guest Teachers:
We met Ann a couple of years ago at a Milonga where we had been teaching and performing. We immediately fell in love with her warmth and energy and when she invited us to visit Tango Cotswold, we quickly agreed. What started as a one-off visit to a new group, has become our home once a month. Why? Ann’s warmth and energy has attracted like-minded souls and Tango Cotswold is full of beautiful, friendly, open people who have opened their hearts to the Tango we teach. We couldn’t ask for more. -- Elizabeth and Luis
Dancers:
Ann is a true free spirit and someone who is a joy to know. Unique. Inspiring. Creative. She’s wise too and hard working. She puts her heart and soul into all she commits to and is tireless in her goal to spread love and kindness. And she’s great fun. She’s one of the nicest people l know and l feel so blessed to have met her at her dance class at Winchcombe which was recommended to me by a number of people in the Tango community. I would always wish Ann the best. She deserves the best because that’s what she puts out into the world. She’s an absolute treasure. --Rhonda

I am very humbled for what people say about me and Cotswold Dance. Without dance friends’ unconditional support, I won’t have Cotswold Dance and gain so such love and joy in my dance journey. These very kind words are always encouragement and remind of me to keep on my good job--to share our love of dance. --- Ann Chen (Cotswold Dance)
