Love your dance. Love your life.

What's going on in your dance is what's going on in your life.

Do you want to claim your creative voice? Do you want to enjoy meaningful partnerships on your own terms? Do you want to embrace yourself and others with compassion, intimacy, and understanding?

I help clients embrace their dances with curiosity and compassion. I hold a safe space for you to connect with your journey, your body, and your artistic voice. Because we learn best when we play, when we explore, and when we trust ourselves as the authority on what's right for us.

I emphasize active listening, and developing compassionate, clear, and trustworthy communication between partners.

I offer tango therapy, for individuals and couples, online and in person. It's a whole-intelligence way of learning about our relationships with ourselves and with others, becoming mindful of our patterns, and exploring the factors at play in all relationships. Trust, hope, fear, power, faith, curiosity, control, loss, gain, compassion, joy, vulnerability, social mores, old family stories, communication, need, desire, light and shadow...everything that defines us and everything that defines our relationships shows up when we dance. Stories that words can't reach transform when we explore them with dance.

Are you ready to transform your life with tango therapy?

Jordana honors the trust of her dancers with music that touches the soul. She prioritizes understanding and fulfilling the needs and desires of her dancers (and organizers), in ways that feel richly satisfying for all. She makes sure there's something for everyone, always seeking a balance of popular accessibility and danceable diversity.

Organizers know they can count on her to be a practical, reliable, supportive, and communicative team player. Dancers know that with her in charge they will go home with sore feet and happy hearts.

Jordana has been dj’ing and teaching for ten years, in Europe and the United States. She is also a tango therapist, helping people better enjoy their dances, their relationships, and their lives. She is available for dj'ing, teaching, and tango therapy throughout Northern America and online.
