Donald Hsu (Guest Instructor) |
|
 Donald began his tango career overseas and has taught and performed Tango Argentino in the US before returning to Hong Kong in 2000. He has been an instructor and choreographer with some of the major local tango groups. He initiated the teaching programme, Tango Preface at TangoTang and was the original tango instructor at Triospin. A few years ago, Donald partnered with Mona and found Lead and Follow, which introduced tango to many of today's active dancers. Donald's works and performances were featured in various tango productions around town.
Donald encourages creativity and students to have their own styles. His classes are always vibrant and fun and students are drawn by his charisma. Despite his active business routine these days, he still reserves some time for tango teaching every season. |

 Mona first fell in love with tango in 1995 and had to put a brake on the short romance due to her then priorities in life. In 2001, she restarted tango 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.
She left the corporate world in 2004 and dedicated herself to studying tango and yoga. Also a certified yoga instructor and an enthusiast in biomechanics, Mona is fascinated by the transformation tango has done to her and many others. She is well-known for her defined pedagogy. She becomes a professional tango teacher and 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 founded Lead & Follow with Donald in 2005 and was later invited to teach in Shanghai, China. Her works are widely seen at HK's biggest events and functions.
