Our Teachers

“The moment when the student stops, looks at you with that dazzled look and exclames: I can’t believe it is so beautiful… – that moment is addictive. That’s why I teach.”

My strength is observing and understanding your tango, thus helping you improve and enhance it instantly. You should feel a strong difference already after one class.

We build together a basic structure for your dance, this is the automatic pilot which will keep you in the ronda, while enabling you to celebrate the music, create the addictive feeling of flow with your partners and add effortlessly distinctive elements when needed.

You can film yourself and send me a 60 sec take of your dancing, I will analyze it and make suggestions how to improve and why. It is not about single steps, but rather about structural pathways which open completely new possibilities. As any architect would make first a plan of the house you are going to build, I can illustrate (dance) your dance now and the way I can imagine it later, so we discuss and adjust any details.

Here you can read more about my teaching background. Teaching over thousand private classes every year and being obsessed with the dance quality of my students, I expect my own classes to be highly cost efficient: to help you improve throughly in record time.

“Tango is a sharing of emotion that through the embrace transforms two bodies into an entity that expresses itself by floating on the waves of music.”

I felt the passion for the dance when I was 8 asking my sister to teach me Ballet and modern dance. I continued with funky, hip hop, break dance till I was 16, then I started with Ballroom for 4 years where I won several competitions and after 2 years more of Salsa and bachata and finally at 22 I met the Tango. After 1 year I entered in a Tango company with who I made some show in a theater while I was training around 30 hours a week and I started to give my first class to beginners. During the next 11 years I made several workshops and seminary with the most known Argentinian Tango teachers while I was teaching and assisting class for all levels. From 2019 I started to teach for La Pantera (formerly Cuartito Azul Tango) where thanks to the big infrastructure of the school I could improve my teaching skills not only for group classes but also for my woman’s tecnic teaching methods thanks to the thousands of private classes that I gave in those 3 years.

For me, Tango is not just a way to dance or steps on the dance floor. It is a philosophy of life that we live every day in Argentina.

I have been connected with this beautiful dance for almost 20 years. I learned Tango in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and after years of studying with the greatest Masters of Argentine Tango, I started my career working, teaching, and dancing in different countries around the world – in Europe, Asia, and America. I have experience in both Tango salon and Tango stage.

Now, I have the opportunity to be based in Zurich and teach at the amazing Tango school “La Pantera”.

I can help you develop your Tango skills, from the basics to the highest levels and sensations. Let’s create a new paradigm in your dance. With my private lessons and customized practice programs, I can design a plan that suits your specific needs.

Tango is waiting for you!

Dancing is an essential part of my life. After a few years of salsa, merengue and bachata, I found my way to the Argentine tango. From then on, there was no turning back – tango became my passion. That was more than ten years ago. Since then, several trips to Buenos Aires and many classes followed.
Today, when I dance tango, not matter if I dance the role of the leader or the role of the follower, sensitivity is most important to me. Sensitivity for the partner, sensitivity for the music, sensitivity for the surroundings as well as sensitivity for my own movements. This is also what I want to transmit as a teacher. I believe this multifaceted sensitivity is the key to a well rounded dance including a comfortable and functional embrace, which is the essence of tango and the greatest joy of this dance.
Thanks to my pedagogical education, I know exactly what quality teaching looks like and how to learn successfully. I also appreciate that one can always deepen the understanding of tango and learn new things.

“There is no better addiction than tango.”

I have been passionate with tango since 2012. Since then, it is an important part of my life and I am regularly taking part in social tango events.

I love Argentine tango because it is improvised and gives to the dancers a lot of freedom to interpret the music. Therefore, when I dance tango, I feel that I can truly express myself.

For me, learning tango is learning to how to communicate without words in order to move together with the music. Learning tango is without an end, but my main goal is to be able to make any dancer happy.

In my teenage years I fell in love with the temperament of Latin American dances and the soulful music. So I first danced salsa for years, until a tango show ignited a fire in me. After a year of tango classes, I was driven to Buenos Aires in 2014… Back in Switzerland, I missed the Latin American lifestyle. So I successfully focused on my career. I had the opportunity to travel through many latinamerican countries in that period, but that also left me no time or energy for anything else. What I was missing? This unique feeling of being able to express myself and feel free while dancing, this danced secret between a dancing couple in their connection, the embrace and energy…! It’s simply as Paulo Coelho said “When you dance you can enjoy the luxury of being you”. Now I am overjoyed to have left everything else behind me. Today I am the proud manager of La Pantera and with all my tropical heart involved – as manager, dancer and supporting teacher.

So, why Tango? Its appeal lies in its inherent elegance and the authentic emotions that dancers pour into each movement. Tango has taught me to express myself through movement, to trust and listen to my partner, and to embrace the present moment. It brings me joy, passion, and a sense of connection like nothing else.

In my tango journey, I have focused on connection, embrace, and musicality – topics I could discuss endlessly. If you share similar interests, let’s grab a drink, and dive into these discussions.

The dancefloor, for me, is a place of pure happiness. It’s where I can communicate with my partner without words, creating a beautiful story together. It’s a unique joy – a shared experience marked by synchronized and harmonious movements, that comes from the pleasure of dancing as one.

My journey into dancing started a few years ago as a complete dance newbie with Lindy Hop. Immediately, so many things changed in my life and I couldn’t get enough of it!

The movement, the laughter, the escape from everyday life. It was amazing!

Curiosity was ignited deep within my cells. Shortly after, I also fell in love with Collegiate Shag and Solo Jazz. But what touched me the most, and still does, is Argentine Tango! And so, in the fall of 2018, Tango became a part of my life. One of the most beautiful aspects of Tango for me is the concentration and diversity. I could ask every dancer what the essence of Tango is for them, and they would all answer differently, yet I would understand and resonate with their answers.

In Tango, I have the freedom to interpret movement and expression. Because you make the dance into what you want it to be! In every dance class I attend, I discover something new, and with every Tango marathon I enjoy, I grow even more. Tango has become so intertwined with my body that I never want to be without it.
