DJ Rebecca Rorick Smith

Rebecca’s Tango journey began in Eugene, OR in 1999 while pursuing her BFA at the University of Oregon. Through Eugene’s Tango Center she began teaching and 22 years later her feet have not yet stopped dancing! From 2000 Rebecca has lived and taught within numerous communities in the USA, and around the world. After 5 years teaching, organizing, and djing in Berlin, she is settled back in Portland, OR. Currently she offers classes in Portland as well as workshops and residencies across the Country. As a teacher Rebecca has always believed in the transformative process of learning Tango and is fueled by the metamorphosis of her students. She is richly influenced by her background in Yoga, Aerial Acrobatics, Visual Arts, and her passion for Horticulture. She offers accessible, clear, compassionate guidance combined with a deep understanding of both Following and Leading, Music, and ever-evolving Technique.
