Clay Marshall and Cherie Lanier started Bourbon Tango to pursue their idea that dance can help the world by building connection and community through music and movement.
Social dancing helps you embrace fun in the present moment while fostering personal growth. It nurtures connection and listening skills that any partner will value, and by dancing through life’s challenges and adversities, you’ll find greater joy along the way.
While known for their Argentine Tango, Cherie and Clay teach most social dances including Salsa, Bachata, Cha Cha, East and West Coast Swing, Blues, Lindy Hop and much more, in addition to private lessons and performance group classes.
They created Bourbon Tango as a highly adaptable social tango fusion dance company, taking Cuban and Blues dance roots and applying Argentine connection, musicality, and the freedom that comes with a good glass of Bourbon. It’s simplest forms can be danced in the grass or at your favorite concerts, at weddings and holiday parties, or romancing in the kitchen with the one you love.
At its highest level, you get to experience the full beauty of Argentine Tango - where grace meets freedom, and every dance runs wild like horses across an open canvas. Come enjoy life and Louisville with us.
