PH: Tango D J Rado
I’m a dancer, teacher, and movement explorer with over two decades of experience. My background includes tango, contemporary dance, contact improvisation, acrobatics, somatic practices, and performing arts. Throughout the years, I’ve integrated tools from these disciplines that help me inhabit the body with greater awareness, sensitivity, and freedom.
I believe in a way of dancing that feels comfortable, fluid, and honest... a dance that listens: to the body, to the other, to the music, and to the space around us. For me, teaching is about creating spaces for transformation and dialogue, where each person can discover their own way of moving, guided by desire and care.
I’m passionate about building bridges between traditional tango and contemporary approaches, honoring the roots while embracing evolution. My work blends technique, improvisation, and reflection, always with a strong focus on connection and on inhabiting the body without rigidity or automatic patterns.
Beyond the artistic practice, I hold a strong social commitment that informs everything I do. I strive to create spaces where dance becomes a vehicle for awareness, empathy, and more equitable human relationships.
I’ve shared my work across Argentina, Europe, and the United States, collaborating with dance companies, independent projects, and schools. I currently live in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where I founded Buenas Vibras Tango Šola (Tango Infinito), a space to keep learning, sharing, and experiencing tango in a vital and genuine way.

My relationship with Tango began at a very young age, when I used to dance in the living room of my grandparents' house, sharing those moments with them before my grandfather passed away when I was only 10 years old. That special connection to dance became the seed of my love for tango, which grew throughout the years.
In 2011, I began taking formal tango classes in my hometown and soon joined my teacher's ballet group. In 2013, I moved to Buenos Aires, where I continued my training and immersed myself in the vibrant tango scene of the capital. In 2014, I decided to pursue a tango degree at the University of the Arts in Buenos Aires, but at that time, my path shifted toward economic science, which led me to take a break from formal dance studies.
However, my true dedication to tango began in 2020 when I met my current partner and husband, Gerónimo. He offered me a new perspective on movement and the use of the body in tango, a revealing approach that allowed me to deepen my technique and sensitivity in the dance. Since 2023, I have expanded my training by studying the Feldenkrais Method in Ljubljana, which has further enriched my understanding of the body and movement in dance.
In addition to tango, my dance journey has been marked by salsa, which I started practicing at 15, as well as exploring other disciplines such as Contact Improvisation, Contemporary dance, and Slackline. These practices nourish and enrich my tango, offering me different perspectives on body use, which is, after all, the only thing we truly have.
Through my classes and teaching, I aim to convey the deep connection tango has with the body and soul, inviting my students to explore dance from an integrated and conscious perspective, where movement is not just a technical exercise but a genuine form of expression.
