Playshops
You have enough work in your life already. Let's play.
NOVEMBER 24, 1-2:30p
Connection Playshop with Jordana and Miranda
Are you a tango dancer who wants to enjoy connecting with yourself and connecting with others more deeply? If so, please join Jordana and Miranda for this tango connection playshop. It’s a chance to play, experiment, and explore how we connect with ourselves and with others in tango and in life.
$25 on the Eventbrite link below, $30 at the door.
I facilitate tango playshops where we get curious about connecting with ourselves and with each other. We experiment with focus and intention. We investigate our personal relationships with giving, taking, and sharing. We explore how where we put our attention affects our intimate conversations with our partners. And, most of all, we play. Because the greatest discoveries happen during play.
While these playshops are for tango dancers, they are not about high heels, ochos, or me telling you where to put your feet. They're about you asking yourself what's going on inside you and outside you, and noticing how you feel. They're about investigating how we interact with ourselves and with the outside world, and discovering enjoyable new ways of connecting.
Because tango isn't about where you put your feet. It's about where you put your mind, your heart, and your soul.
Tango — Individual Sessions
Feel great sharing what you want to share, how you want to share, with whom you want to share.
We learn best when we play, when we explore, and when we trust ourselves as the authority on what's right for us. I help clients embrace their own dances with curiosity and compassion. I hold a safe space for you to connect with your own journey, your own body, and your own artistic voice.
I emphasize active listening, and developing compassionate, clear, and trustworthy communication between partners.
Some places I have taught include Aosta, Berlin, Catania, Chicago, Lausanne, London, Madison, New Orleans, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, and Tarbes.
Primary teachers include Sebastian Arce, Jorge Torres, Virginia Pandolfi, Guillermo García, Samantha Dispari, Nikita Gerdt, and Ariadna Naveira.

DJ
I love dj'ing milongas and private events. I consider it a good night when everybody enjoys dancing to music they love, they connect with themselves and with others, and they go home rich with tango. I provide old favourites and fresh surprises. Let me take your dancers on a journey of play, discovery, and seduction.
