LET`S MAKE MUSIC VISIBLE!
By blending technique with musicality, I aim to elevate your dancing experience and deepen your connection on the dance floor. Understanding movement with body awareness allows us to adapt them to the different rhythms (regular movements: beats, double time, compas, pulse... irregular movements: simple syncopations or complex one) that music offers us (tango, vals, milonga).
​Through an efficient and fuctional use of the body your steps become precise, the communication in the couple clear and you can play with the music from a very comfortable and flexible place.
MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Welcome to my Tango teaching methodology, where I merge classical techniques and modern approaches to create a unique concept of movement. My method focuses on the deconstruction of movement, fostering individual body awareness, enhancing communication within the couple and combining technique with musicality.
I teach for more than 35 years with biomechanics and biodynamics in every movement, starting from a conceptual foundation and moving toward the creation of simple or complex elements (such as eights, boleos, turns, ganchos, sacadas, etc.). This method allows dancers to move organically, using the body's natural movements with body awareness, avoiding the use of force or physical effort. An effcient and functional use of the body by using the body center as the engine of your motor skills improves your technique, enhances your coordination, refines your movement and allows to dance with precision and control.
An optimised posture allows for efficient use of body strength and helps prevent injuries. Dancing with increased body awareness refines our body communication and reception.
The steps or sequences that most teachers teach in their lessons don't work immediately because they lack an understanding of how movement is naturally organized in our body.
Join me in exploring this innovative way to express yourself through Tango!

MY EXPERIENCES AS A TANGO DANCER & TEACHER
​I am a teacher, choreographer and dancer with 35 years of national and international experience. Born in Buenos Aires, I made my debut as a dancer in the Amphitheatre Mataderos in 1989 at the age of 15. Among my maestros were Juan Carlos Copes, Antonio Todaro, Gustavo Naveira and Mariano `Chicho`Frumboli.
1999 I moved to Europe, based in London and Palermo founded a school of Argentine Tango in Paris (l`Ecole Tango de Paris) and in Palermo. I travel regularly as a guest teacher to give classes, seminars and shows in more than 30 cities around the world.
In Argentina I am a current teacher at Escuela Mundial de Tango, one of the most prestigious Tango Schools in Buenos Aires. For several years I danced Tango Milonguero, Tango Salon and Tango Escenario, therefore I am familiar with different Tango styles. With time my own dance style expanded and I started to explore the natural movement of the human being - so called organical movement - and experimented to find out how do two persons move together, what is the generator in one`s body that triggers a particular movement in the other body. Through this exploration I created my own concept of movement in Tango dancing and developed my own method of teaching.
