Instructor Bios

Patrick Marsolek and Lori Mitchell are based in Missoula, Montana. They teach regularly in Missoula, MT and travel to teach tango around the region. They focus on developing dynamic and living connections in the dance — connections can be within ourselves, with our partner, with the music and the other dancers on the floor with us. Within these connections they explore a full range of communication and creativity within the dance.

They are also passionate about building community around tango, recognizing the value of social connections and involvement for dancers. The tango culture involves a rich social experience that is especially valuable since it can help provide more connection and belonging in our lives.

Patrick discovered tango in 2005, and studied in Argentina. He also organizes regular workshops with visiting tango instructors in Missoula and hosts the Missoula Tango Marathon each year. For his ‘day job’, Patrick is a clinical hypnotherapist, writer and researcher, and teaches classes on compassionate communication, self-hypnosis, and personal empowerment. He's also plays the bandoneon and is interested in creating more culturally accessible music for North American tango dancers.

Lori brings 30 years of experience a modern, ballet, jazz, tap, flamenco and trained in Pilates, Gyrotonics, and Laban movement fundamentals, and unites the worlds of health and dance with an eye and heart informed by the joy and wisdom of the importance of movement, self expression, and acknowledgement.
