Hsueh-tze Lee


Known for her musicality and innovative approach, Hsueh-tze teaches Argentine Tango across North America and internationally. 
A life-long dancer, Hsueh-tze has been one of North America's pioneers in Argentine Tango since 1990.  She draws inspiration from her extensive experience dancing with milongueros of Buenos Aires over many extended trips.  Her dance blends the richness of tango tradition with exploratory possibilities.

Equally adept in both leading and following with 17 years of experience dancing both roles, Hsueh-tze is sought for her skills and insights.  She has taught throughout the US, and also in Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, Mexico and Buenos Aires.  In her classes, Hsueh-tze integrates her knowledge of dance, physiology and biomechanics to focus on movement quality, partner communication, musicality and improvisation. She imparts a dynamic and distinctive perspective to her students.  Hsueh-tze hosts and DJs Blue Milonga, the popular second Saturday milonga in Boston.

Hsueh-tze holds a doctorate in physiology from Harvard University, and won a teaching award as a Harvard Teaching Fellow.  Formerly a biology professor at Wellesley College, she now teaches tango full-time.
