Began training formally, (in ballet and jazz), as a teenager and as an adult took up the art of Kenpo Karate.
Michelle studied Kenpo for eight years,
while at the same time expanded her dance and stage experience by working with children and adults choreographing,
managing and/or directing musicals and variety shows.
Michelle became intrigued with Argentine Tango in the spring of 1999 and,
by the fall of 2002 was the principal dancer in the Sacramento based Los Tangueros Dance Company.
That same year she met and began teaching and performing with the incomparable Argentine Tango Maestro,
Roberto Riobo. Her partnership experience with Roberto took her dance “to the next level”
by opening up her creative side and helping her to discover the true meaning of “improvisation”.
Michelle is also very proud to have been a founding member and performer with the innovative all-female group,
Tango Con*Fusión. This collaboration, with premiere San Francisco Tangueras Christy Coté, Debbie Goodwin,
Chelsea Eng and Pier Voulkos, was both unique and inspiring.
Michelle currently teaches in Sacramento and the foothills both privately and with her dance partner,
Chris Peake, and co-hosts Tango events at the Fireshouse 5 in Sacramento.
