PATangoS is pleased to welcome Alicia Pons of Buenos Aires!
Highlights include:
- Double Decker Milonga (Traditional & Alternative)
- Alicia's signature classes
- Alexander Technique Class
ALICIA PONS of Buenos Aires is an elegant and accomplished
milonguera with refined technique and distinctive
personality. Her ability to imbue the role of the woman
with verve and style has made her one of the most sought
after female partners in Buenos Aires milongas. She is
most noted for her beautiful foot play and the strongly
sensual connection with her partner, which is done with
humor and decorum.
As a teacher, Alicia emphasizes the connection between the
partners, and in particular the woman?s ability to not just
follow, but to be an equal protagonist in the dance. Her
knowledge of the mechanics of what makes the dance work in
the ?milonguero? embrace is unique. As a dancer, Alicia is
simply inspirational. More on Alicia at
