Cherie Magnus, a California native, returned to Los Angeles in 2014 after teaching tango in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for 11 years. Before her life as an expatriate, she was a dance research librarian in the Los Angeles Central Library and a dance critic for local newspapers before moving to France, Mexico, and then to Argentina in 2003.
Many of her articles on dance, books, travel and international culture have been published in magazines, professional journals, and several anthologies.
A Finalist in the Buenos Aires Tango Championships of 2006, she has appeared in several podcasts, as well in two video tango documentaries. She wrote a blog, tangocherie, on expat life, Buenos Aires culture, and the tango from 2008-2014. The prequel to The Church of Tango — Arabesque: Dancing on the Edge in Los Angeles — was published December 2014. Intoxicating Tango: My Years in Buenos Aires in 2019, the third in her memoir trilogy.
At each crossroad in her life, she made difficult choices of roads to take, resulting in three memoirs of “Death, Dance, Destiny,” sometimes with love along the way. With each problem that arose, she dances her way through it.
