Hi, Elena---
I read your article, "Rules for the
Followers" a few weeks ago, and
appreciated your great insights
into tango and the nature of men
and women.  How similar the
dynamics are.
I especially liked that you gave
specific advice on how to follow
and improve. You really have
something to say, and everything
you write seems to be rich with
meaning and insights.
This is not surprising, since you
radiate with a passion to
communicate the heart, adventure,
and discovery
of tango to others. Warmest
thanks and regards, Billie

It was also great to see other
instructors and tango icons
from the community
supporting and enjoying this
venue, as well. Elena Pankey,
with husband, Victor, was
radiating her usual passion
and skill—a great example
to all of keeping the adventure
and discovery of tango fresh
and alive.

I have observed with joy the quality of
their performance, the responsibility
towards their engagements and the
professionalism with which they handle
their contracts.
I have given them training in Tango with
the true Argentinean technique. In various
occasions we have given performances on
the Caborey Cruiser, as well as in other
locations in Cabo San Lucas. Due to the
aforementioned, I fully recommend them.
They have always shown to posses the
energy and character to continue
improving in their endeavors.
