Women’s technique workshops; workshops on choreographic creation, special thematic classes, group classes.

The teaching method is based on the continuous research of the body’s movement, as well as the main  aspects of a dancer’s character: technique, structure, dynamics, improvisation, musicality, interpretation. The goal is to achieve a unique and personal style, improved with the new elements (both technical and creative) of the new generation of tangueros (tango nuevo), maintaining the essential embrace, the intimacy, the social codes that are part of the tango culture, and the usage and understanding of the “salon”, the physical space of the dance floor.

The research of choreographies intends to break grounds in terms of structure or traditional lines, towards a more plastic and free movement.
