I specialize in making Argentine tango accessible, fun and enjoyable for students of all experience levels and abilities to learn. I feel deeply passionate about this dance and I love to share this with my students. Tango is above all connection - connection to oneself and one's own body, connection to one's partner, connection to the music. Besides learning to dance an elegant and fun dance, through learning Tango you will gain body awareness, improve posture, connect to your partner, and discover many surprises that Tango has to offer along the way! My classes focus on learning connection and technique that are integrated into the whole body. I love helping beginners to discover this dance, and I am equally happy helping intermediate or advanced dancers to find more ease, creativity and freedom in their dance. I also encourage students who are interested to learn both the leader's and the follower's role. My experience has found this to pay off as students gain better technique, balance, and overall understanding of the dance.
