Clay Marshall and Cherie Lanier started Bourbon Tango to pursue their idea that dance can save the world.
Social dancing teaches you how to enjoy yourself, and where you are at, while pursuing growth. It teaches you connection and listening skills that any partner will appreciate, and if you can dance through your challenges and the adversity of life you will be happier for it.
While known for their Argentine tango they teach most social dances including Salsa, Bachata, Cha Cha, East and West Coast Swing, Blues and much more, in addition to private lessons and performance group classes.
They created Bourbon Tango as a highly adaptable social tango fusion dance, 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.
While at its most advanced, you get to enjoy unfettering all the beauty of Argentine tango and let run like the horses through all your dances. Come enjoy life, and Louisville with us.
Cherie Lanier has been teaching 25 different ballroom and social dances for 20 years. She is renowned for dedication to technique and compassion on and off the floor.
Clay Marshall is co-owner of Bourbon Tango. He always has had a passion for storytelling through dance, but fell in love of the idea Cherie inspired of creating a space where people can come learn to truly connect to and enjoy each other.
