Music. “Tango is like a smile that opens our hearts to a sense of wonder; the depth it conveys has nothing to do with heaviness. On the contrary, it is filled with lightness and amazement.” In 2008, I discovered tango, which shaped me both in dancing and in my understanding of tango music and culture, thanks to my teachers Marco Evola and Laura Mommi. I studied with them consistently, eventually becoming their assistant and later a teacher in the stable courses for the Scuola Traspié. In December 2014, I co-founded the Associazione Alchimia with Emanuela Filippelli, with whom I have taught in Perugia and Montepulciano. I have studied with many teachers, but in greater depth with Javier Rodriguez, Maria Plazaola, Ricardo Viqueira, Carlitos Espinoza, and Osvaldo Roldan. Since 2022, I have been living in Milan, where I work as a teacher offering both group and private lessons and as a Tango DJ (TJ) in the city’s milongas. One of my strengths is my ability to create cohesive groups of tango dancers. I teach not only the fundamental techniques but also promote the sharing of emotions and a sense of connection among my students, fostering a community of tango enthusiasts. My private lessons are highly tailored to the needs of each student. Every session is designed to address individual requirements, ensuring skill development and confidence in tango. My goal is to help each student discover and express their unique tango!
