Vladimir Estrin

Originally from Russia, Vladimir came to United States with his family in 1993. He fell in love with Tango long before he could even walk… Growing up in a very musical family, from the very early age he has been listening to the tangos played by his father and grandmother.

After taking his first Argentine Tango lesson about two years ago, he knew that he found his passion. In January of 2004 he became the instructor at the 3rd Street Dance Studio, teaching beginning and intermediate Tango classes. Together with Evita Arce, Vlad participated in the First International Argentine Tango Competition and Showcase in San Diego, California in January of 2004.

Vladimir is currently working on his degree in Information Systems from the California State University Northridge. Being a professional web designer, Vlad runs www.TangoAfficionado.com - online information resource for the Los Angeles tango community.
