My teaching style
I offer small group classes and private lessons in YogaPilates and Tango. Each class is individualized based on the participant's level, resources and learning requirements.

Through personalized content and detailed feedback, I support participants in their learning process. I place special emphasis on strengthening body awareness, teaching correct body alignment and developing a solid basic technique. All this not only makes it easier to learn complex figures and tango elements, but most importantly opens the doors to improvised dance to music.

About me
My first encounter with tango was in 2004, when I attended a concert in Australia that was followed by an introductory course. After 1½ years of intensive training in Sydney I travelled to Buenos Aires to study tango more in depth. During the following 2½ years, I lived between Buenos Aires and Basel and dedicated myself to bodywork and tango.

My inspiration comes from numerous stays in Buenos Aires, from the exchange and collaboration with well-known and unknown tango dancers, as well as from attending workshops and individual lessons with guest teachers.

Tango for me is the manifestation of the music through the physical communication of the tango couple. It is important to me to preserve the essence of tango as well as personal expression.

Lifelong learning and discovery is essential for me. Various body techniques and movement methods, as well as their teachers, have influenced me and contribute to enrich my teaching.
