Pimon Martell

Argentine tango found me in the Summer of 2006. This art form was filling a need since I left the Theatre in my home Thailand. From that day on I took weekly classes from local instructor Francis (El Centro) over 6 months, attended 3-4 workshops a year with Susana Miller (Argentina), Alicia Pons (Argentina), Robert Hauk (Portland) Pimon has been to Buenos Aires to participate in the Milongueando 2010. She also took many classes with local instructors. She continues learning Tango in different styles & technique from a lot of instructors from around the world. As a follower she believes: to learn every style will help her adapt her to many different leaders. As a leader, when Music is right, she can bring happiness to another friend & herself. After she took many workshop with Semiral, she started assisting the classes and got inspired to teach. With Semiral's support Pimon was ready and started teaching tango in October 2012. While feeling happy to contribute other dancer's skills, teaching also helps me improve my skills and keeps my passion for TANGO growing even more.
