About Leigh

Leigh first learnt ballroom, salsa and ceroc, and then started Argentine Tango with Graciela Heredia, one of the teachers who introduced Argentine Tango to NZ.  Leigh moved to London in 1999 and was fortunate to attend courses and classes with some of the best known and respected teachers in the industry who were regularly and frequently teaching in London at that time.  Leigh then moved to Melbourne in 2002 and runs her own Argentine Tango classes and teaches in association with Bill Jarman of Tango Bajo (also known as L'Affaire de Tango).

Leigh has always studied and danced both the followers and leaders roles, giving her an excellent depth of understanding of the dance, and she travels every year to continue her development. In the past year she has travelled to Buenos Aires to undertake two courses with Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne and to Istanbul to study with Murat and Michelle Erdemsel.

Leigh also teaches pilates (mat pilates) and runs "strength & stretch" classes. Both are excellent for assisting with balance and co-ordination which are vital for a dancer. The stretch class is especially good for all those "tight" areas which can limit freedom of movement in dance.

Leigh Rogan and Bill Jarman,  both independently and jointly, have an indepth understanding of how the body moves and are experienced in teaching all levels of Argentine Tango from beginners through to performance standard.
