Mona was in love with tango at her first sight but had to put a brake on the short romance due to her then priorities in life. She met tango again in 2001 and began her annual pilgrimage to Buenos Aires and Europe to study with various tango masters. Her training in other dance forms and yoga provide her with a solid foundation and thorough understanding in the principles and techniques of tango.
In 2004, she decided to leave the corporate world and dedicate herself to studying tango and yoga. A certified yoga instructor and an enthusiast in biomechanics, Mona is fascinated by the transformation tango has done to her and many others. Over the years, Mona has gained her fame with her defined pedagogy and well-structured classes. She celebrates the joy of inspiring people to share and to connect with one another through the beauty of Tango.
Mona has always been at the forefront of the development of Argentine Tango in Hong Kong. She was the co-founder of the then Lead & Follow and is now an owner of 2 studios. She regularly brings in visiting teachers for tango workshops and is the organizor of Wednesday Milonga M.
