tai chi chuan on east coast?

[svenfeynord]

I have been turned on to tai chi chuan. I understand this is the best internal art for health and internal fitness. Throughout the summer I will be traveling down the east coast. From NY to MD, VA, NC, SC. I am looking to find the best schools for information and teachings. It is possible I may move to Atlanta, GA at the end of summer. What are the best schools to study Tai Chi Chuan? I decided to study this first before I begin to study kung fu.

I go through Raleigh, Chapel Hill is not that far out of the way. Asheville is too far.
Looks like he is a good teacher if he studied at wudang mtn.

Anything in other states, Charelston? Atlanta?

dunno if you did this already but you might post this thread on the tai qi board too. You might get a lot more responses there. also you might want to look into the different styles of tai qi and see if you have a preference. the main families (and i might get this wrong so anyone feel free to correct it) are chen, yang, wu, sun and ...?... the other one ( i am blanking on the name.) also you might want to check the school out and see if they are teaching the trdaitional forms or the shortened competition forms.
