This is a newly managed ballroom, owned and operated by Jordan Jewell. He is a fantastic independent instructor of all things ballroom. He lets me teach Argentine Tango (NOT ballroom) at his location. He has been a friend of tango and of mine for many years and we thank him for letting us use his space.
