She was so full of life, and brought intense pleasure to those she danced with and taught. Anne-Sophie taught me so much about Tango both in BsAs and in the UK, and it was done with such fun and good humour. She will be missed by so many people, my sympathy goes to her family. She will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. RIP AnnSo P x
About 2001 I made my first foray into Argentine Tango, in the Washington DC area. I had four instructors over a three month period. For me, Anne-Sophie was the best. Unlike the other three instructors, she focused more on the basics like the Tango walk, not rushing into (for me) more advanced topics like Ochos. I particularly remember sitting down at a table with friends at the conclusion of one of Anne-Sophie’s lessons in a restaurant in Northern Virginia. A guy who had cone in near the end of the lesson and who had been watching us came up to our table. He told us he had spent the first five months of his Tango dancing only doing the Tango walk. I appreciated him sharing that with us, as it made a lot of sense to me, a slow learner. I’m now in the fourth month of my second foray into Tango, as now I have more time to focus on it. In another month I should be ready to do more than the Tango walk! I suspect Anne-Sophie would concur that working on the basics for some time is a good way to learn the Argentine Tango.
What the heck happened? She is so young!
Yes, she was in her mid thirties. A very talented dancer and teacher and a warm person with a wicked sense of humour. She died of cancer.
OMG!!!May her soul RIP!

I will share this on the Captital Tangueros Facebook page and my Facebook too. Thanks.
