Dear Gerd,
I am writing to thank you for another wonderful tango class. I look forward
to each session as I know I will both learn a lot and have a good time. I am
very appreciative of your teaching style. I know that each exercise with which
you begin classes will be directly relevant to the movement upon which you intend
to focus for that evening. I know that each of the movements or sequences will
be adaptable to the various skill levels of the dancers in the class and will
be useful as you help us learn to listen to the tango music and express our
responses to it. Furthermore I know from experience that what you teach us will
stand us in good stead no matter where we may be taking classes or dancing.
As you know, Eph and I love to travel and we invariably find dance venues wherever
we go. We have been gratified and reassured to find ourselves listening to teachers
in Buenos Aires, Japan, Crete and Mexico telling us and working with us on the
very same things you are saying and working on in Norwich, Vermont.
Thank you Gerd. Because of your steadfast efforts for several years, there is
a vibrant tango community in our area of Vermont. It means a great deal to us.
not only during the classes and milongas, but also in the times of relaxation
afterwards.
Yours, Helen
Although Sandy and I are enjoying a break from our sessions with you, I wanted
to thank you for the excellent exposure to the Tango that you have given us.
It's been a pleasure.
Thanks again.

Upper Valley and sticking with us!
If you pursue other possibilities, please don't give up on us!
Have a great day - Miriam&Gary
I began my tango studies with Gerd Hirschmann a year ago which has resulted
today in being an irrepressible enthusiast and devotee of tango. Whether you
have the opportunity to study with Gerd on an ongoing basis or are at a festival
weekend, he has a strength and ability to assess and develop students’
capabilities and challenge students to be successful, particularly with developmental
and interesting exercises that are designed to be seamlessly incorporated into
execution of improvisational steps in the dance. We are lucky to have him reside
in the tango community in Vermont, instrumental in the birth and growth of our
local tango, while his extensive geographic connections in tango bring together
a world of teachers and students, and where dancing with Gerd always inspires
positive surprises and achievement. Joy
