Veronika Kruta in CLE 2025

Veronika Kruta Returns to CLE! Oct. 16-21, 2025 Veronika Kruta is touring the U.S. this fall, and we are thrilled that she has decided to return to Cleveland as one of her stops. About the artist: Veronika has been dancing tango since 2005 and teaching since 2011. Known for her clear, effective and encouraging style, she brings a charismatic presence to the classroom. With a background in yoga, fine art, and life coaching, Veronika's teaching is rooted in a deep understanding of anatomy, body mechanics, creativity and personal growth. She is passionate about strong fundamentals, believing they empower students to dance with confidence, authenticity, and expressive freedom. Veronika has studied with many world-renown instructors, explored a variety of styles from salon, milonguero, and nuevo, and is fluid in both the roles of follower and leader as well as different modes of embrace including close, open and everything in between. Veronika currently lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she hosts yoga and tango retreats several times a year, and travels to teach workshops abroad.
