Instructor: SHIWA NOH
Shiwa is a dedicated Argentine Tango and Tai-chi instructor based in Maine and a leader of the Argentine Tango community in Bangor and Orono since 2011. Originally from Korea, Shiwa began training in Korean Traditional Dance at a young age and earned a BFA in Choreography from the University of California, Irvine in 1996.

In 2004, Shiwa began a study that continues to this day of Yang Style Tai-chi under the tutelage of Vernon Edwards. Her Tai-chi practice is integrated with Argentine Tango as she explored the similarities that exist between the two disciplines.
