Biography

Note from Rui

– Dance with confidence.
– Update/brush up your skill to make you and your partner to feel better.

In tango there are many different styles, musicalities, and personal expressions to choose from. Many local (porteño) dancers tend to have their own ways of dancing, and professional dancers are open to more styles so that they can dance with different dancers and orchestras. It is exciting to discover all the details of each dancer’s way. However, in social dancing, there are three important, fundamental elements that all dancing styles share, which are the keys to dancing freely in a way you want, no matter what style you choose. We will explore, clean up, and deepen these three elements in 4 classes, each of which goes for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
