“My dance style and teaching is emphasizing the elegance and the
quality of movements from the footwork to the entire body through the
connection between the couple - the leading and the response to the
leading. my preferred style is the tango salon incorporating some
modern movements always paying attention to the esthetic and
elegance.”
