Teaching Style

the navigation on the dance floor.
She stresses musicality, posture,
coordination, balance, rhythm, and the distinctive improvisational aspect of
the dance. This provides the students with the basic skills needed to dance
tango anywhere the world. Alicia does not merely teach steps; rather,
