Wonseon Choi

Wonseon started dancing Argentine tango in 2007. She still fondly remembers her first tango class in a run-down house in Chevy Chase with an old fireplace, sqeaky floor, and the music that made her feel like a heroine in an old black and white movie. She instantly fell in love with the music and the improvisational nature of dance. Since then she has traveled to Buenos Aires, Seoul, all over the US, Canada, and Europe to learn and dance tango. She co-founded the Seoul National University Alumni Argentine Tango Club in 2021 and joined the Tango Mercurio faculty in 2023.

Through decades of training in piano and ballet since her childhood, Wonseon has become a firm believer of artistic freedom based on solid technical foundation. Her teaching thus focuses on proper technique, quality of movements, and musical interpretation to help students enjoy deep connection with a partner and the music.
