  Jaimes Friedgen is a great tango teacher who combines physical expression with an intellectual understanding of tango's origin and place int he world. He is honest, kind, and patient.

  I've been regularly taking Sunday drill class with LATA in the last 4 months, after starting private training with Jaimes last year. Both group and private has been invaluable, and in lots of unexpected & amazing ways. I was frustrated with what is currently available in greater LA / OC area in terms of material, level of intensity and practice partners. Richard and Emma, the other 2 instructors, are amazing to work with and learn from. Very highly recommended. I only wish I am not an hour+ away, and have the time to take more classes here.

  Ok, I am a year into my tango career and am enjoying it more and more. I have not danced since high school and am now retired but due to the great instruction from Jaimes and his talented instruction team of Emma, Richard and Giavonna , Milongas have become a way of life for me.
  
  ... We all look for quality in our lives and LATA delivers just that...quality in all its activities .... great instruction, several hour practicas,, drills, website, and woulderful friendly atmosphere that is very very affordable.. Look at its students and you see happy people.... that says it all.
  
  Thanka LATA!!!
  
  BTW...they also through a cool tango BBQ :)

  I started taking tango classes 45 days ago for the first time. I was always fascinated with tango but never really found a good place until I encountered LATA (La tango Academy) ...
  
  What makes this place the best is the professionalism, skills, and communication of the whole team. Richard and Emma are so kind and talented. James is sweet and professional and always gives historic knowledge on tango. Christa's technical classes are so helpful.
  
  ... Love it!

  ... Brian, Yuliana and James all have the ability to diagnose issues quickly. For example, I was having problems with walking forward and Brian helped me fix it within five minutes. I was walking towards my own axis instead of identifying and walking towards my partner’s axis. I had this issue for a year and Brian found a solution in five minutes! For those who haven't danced tango, walking is one of the hardest parts. Just making sure you don't think I'm a crazy lady who can't walk ;)
  LA Tango Academy provides everything I want in a class: excellent teachers and assistants, clear instruction and a warm environment.
