We are so grateful and thrilled to have Alexei Borovik back to teach Classical Ballet at the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School.

He is an extraordinarily kind and generous teacher whose students progress quickly while having a lot of fun.
We will start with a 6-week series:
Saturday, October 18 to November 22
12-1:15 pm
Cost: $150 for the series
I really hope you can join us. Space is limited so please register soon!
