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 womans 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.
