My new program 'Body Therapy for Tango Dancers'

Strengthen, Lengthen, and Tone with my new program for tango dancers "Body Therapy".
  • Strengthen your body!
  • Stretch muscles and become flexible!
  • Find your balance!
  • Understand your muscles' and body's work!
  • Stay in shape!


My "Body Therapy" classes include elements based on the technique of Pilates Mat, Hatha Yoga and Choreography that were tailored specifically for tango dancers. My classes will help dancers to be protected from possible injuries or uncomfortable movements during long tango workshops, all night milongas and to be prepared for more challenging figures in tango such as: high boleos, volcadas with a displacement, deep colgadas or whatever your tango teacher will ask you to do. We will pay a lot of attention to our twisting movements in tango by training twisting and bending postures in our classes, and we will practice stretching exercises (cool-down and warm-up).


I believe that only regular exercises built in a progressive, repeated system might have a result for your body and for your muscle memory.


For best results I separated my program "Body Therapy for Tango Dancers" on two parts "Body Therapy on Feet" and "Body Therapy on Mat".

"Body Therapy" is good for everyone: Women and Men, for people of all ages and all physical level conditions from absolute beginners to advanced tango dancers.
