"My husband and I have been regularly attending Trista's practicas, she's a fabulous Tango event host and organizer. The music and the dancing are wonderful, and so are the snacks. It has a very warm and friendly atmosphere, people are comfortable to give and receive advices, and Trista's help is always readily available. We left feel happy and fulfilled every time."

"Trista makes you feel super comfortable to learn Tango by welcoming you with a warm hug and a sincere smile (her perfect Red Velvet cake may surprise you at one of her practicas!) . Not only at her annual Tampa Tango Festhaton but also at her classes, she'll teach and show you important details about Argentine Tango steps, technique and connection. Trista is one of the few talented dancers who can both follow and lead!"

"My very first experience with Tampa Tango Exchange was October of 2016 at my very first tango marathon / festival. I have since then experienced Tampa Tango Exchange (Mainly Trista but others helping the teaching and the goals of TTE too) in many different environments and situations. A small and intimate lessons for more intermediate to advanced dancers, small and big practicas that are open to the whole community, festival/marathon where the goal is to promote and increase the level of local tango community and invite dancers out of city, state, even country, and even a class for very beginners. As someone who has taken classes from teachers who are well known throughout the country through privates and also at numerous festivals, I can tell you that level and depth of teaching Trista provides is amazing. She focuses on body techniques, helping people to approach tango more easily rather than being intimidated. Also as a great DJ who has been invited and played at many different festivals Ana marathons, Trista always incorporates musicality in her class which is one of the important pieces of tango. If anyone wants to start tango and actually dance socially out side of their dance class, I would recommend Tampa Tango Exchange and Trista in a heartbeat!"

"If you're looking for a small class where you can relax with awesome people and get lost in the sweet sound of tango, then this place is for you. Trista carries tango in her blood, and (at a risk of sounding corny), her spirit is infectious! There's no pressure to be really good, or good at all- you learn at your own pace while having fun. Definitely recommend!"

"I am a beginning tango dancer. I cannot emphasize how much learning from Trista has improved my dancing. She brings such a positivity, such an encouraging attitude and such intense passion to her teaching, that one cannot help but just learn and improve ... For those interested in tango, for those for whom the dance is becoming a passion, I recommend paying her a visit ... and I can guarantee you with unequivocal certainty, that you will be back for more ...."
