If there is an underground to the Portland Tango Scene, Joe Leonardo is definitively a part of it. Though unambitious to a fault, he is still a persistent force adding much into the tango community. An accomplished dancer, passionate teacher, and popular DJ, you are almost certain to find Joe either throwing his passion into the dance at the local milongas or lurking quietly around Studio Berretin, where he works.
Joe hosts and DJs both the unique practica at the Bamboo Grove Salon and the lovely "Aime Comme Moi" milonga, does some traveling for work, and enjoys teaching small classes and private lessons, but sometimes prefers just sitting alone, sipping yerba mate and smoking.
