Kate Rosalik and Levi Anthony are Argentine Tango Professionals whose dedication to the dance spans more than 20 years each. They are co-owners of Tucson Tango School, LLC.
Passionately dedicated to helping people discover and deepen their love for tango, Kate Rosalik and Levi Anthony started Tucson Tango School in 2018. Kate and Levi teach private lessons, group classes, workshops, and are available for private parties and performances.
Kate Rosalik’s first day of tango was in the fall of 1997 when she relocated to Tucson from Michigan. She worked her way from being a diligent student to a teacher’s assistant, to teaching on her own. In 2005, she decided to pursue certification in all of the other partnership dance styles and completed a teacher training program in Tucson.
Kate met Levi Anthony in 1999 in a teacher training program at a local ballroom dance studio. She decided not to pursue her dance training at this school but connected with Levi and introduced him to her professional tango partner. Tango’s improvisational and deep connection captivated his attention and it quickly became Levi’s favorite dance. Argentine Tango became his specialty as he continued to teach and manage at the local dance studio.
From that point, Kate and Levi have worked with tango maestros from Portland, Argentina, Chile, and performed throughout Arizona and in California. Their passion for sharing their love of dance led them to start Tucson Tango School, where they have worked with scores of couples – beginners to advanced dancers – as well as teaching group lessons and providing private lessons and consultations.
In 2023, their teaching and choreography skills were front and center in the production of the Noel Coward play, Private Lives. They had the privilege of being the principal choreographers for the play, and they taught the actors several complex choreographies and consulted with the production team along the way to make their visions come to life.
"We continue to grow our community through our passion for Argentine Tango and all it has to offer."

Our Approach to Tango
We are dedicated to teaching and growing the tango community in Tucson, AZ. We teach weekly Monday night group classes, private lessons for individuals, couples, and semi-private lessons (3 to 4 students). We are available for workshops, private parties, and we perform at corporate events.
Our mission is to spread the joy of this elegant artform to the community; not only the dance steps, but the culture, the music, and the connections that come with learning together. We love creating a fun, playful, safe and inclusive environment for learning.
Argentine Tango is known as the dance of the close embrace. It is a language of movement in which both partners are sharply aware and present as they communicate and interpret the music. Many dancers quickly become addicted to this artform, and the farther they progress, the more rewarding the connection and the mutual experience.
By learning this dance, students have noticed remarkable improvement in their balance, mobility, body-awareness, and confidence. Research studies have shown that Argentine Tango dancing can slow the progression of degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s/dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, and the harmful effects of a sedentary lifestyle (National Institute of Health).
When teaching these elements, we focus on the connection to your own body, the connection between partners, the music, and the community. There is a big difference between Ballroom Tango, Tango Choreography for the Stage, and Social Tango. We focus on social dancing in our classes, which is based on walking, along with smooth circular movements, and fun rhythms. Students who enroll in our private lessons and group classes will find themselves prepared to dance Argentine Tango anywhere around the world, including Buenos Aires!
We welcome all ages and backgrounds in our classes, and we teach complete beginners through advanced students.
We look forward to meeting you!
