Nancy
Stevens Mendoza gave her first dance
performance before she turned three
years old. She learned tap and acrobatics
as a youngster; studied ballet with
the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music;
modern dance with Shawl Anderson Dance
Center; Isadora Duncan dancing; Martha
Graham technique; and dance teacher
training at the Metronome Ballroom.
She won first place in the Silver
American Tango meet at the Grand Ball,
a national ballroom competition. She
was a principal dancer with Nora Dinzelbacher's
"Argentine Tango Folk Ballet"
from 1989 to 1994 and performed with
Pampa Cortes' "Los Tangueros
de San Francisco". (Click on

Nancy was one of the first Tangueras
in the San Francisco Bay Area. After
becoming enthralled by the original
Broadway production of Tango Argentino,
which Nancy saw while working for
MTV in New York City in 1986, she
began a long search for locals who
could teach her authentic ARGENTINE
Tango.
