She met Gen in 2005 at a ballroom dance event where they did their first Argentine Tango dance together. Although Lily had since taken numerous lessons on Tango dance techniques and routines, she strongly believes in mastering fundamental Basic, techniques rather than routines and moves to ensure quality in her dance. Her emphasis is on flawless footwork and movements of the body & music.
