About the Star

Afrim teaches Physics Labs at UMass Lowell as Adjunct Faculty. He is good at ignoring things like religion, indoctrination, politics, watching sports, fashion, soap operas, and other things with no sense of humor. Obviously he can't ignore dancing Tango. He did not know how to dance before Spring 2009.

About his Partner

Stacy Kadesch has been dancing since the age of three - but has only started studying ballroom dance for the past year. She is captain of the newly formed UMass Lowell Community Club, which enables local dancers to participate in the ballroom club, without official affiliation with the university. She graduated the Hartt School of Music with a degree in Performing Arts Management, and has spent her life pursuing the arts, namely musical theatre. She currently works at CDIA at Boston University in tuition planning. She really loves performing this dramatic tango routine with her Star - and she hopes you love it too!
