One of the most accomplished teachers of Apilado style tango, Alicia Pons is an elegant dancer 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. She exemplifies communication and presence in the dance, and this is a focus in her teaching for both men and women. Alicia was trained in classical dance from an early age and as a young woman performed in some of Buenos Aires most well known theaters, the Colon, the Coliseo, and the Alvear. Her introduction to tango came later, and her first teacher was Graciela Gonzalez, whose womens technique helped shape Alicias tango footwork. Alicia then gravitated toward the milonguero style and her first inspiration and male teacher in that style was Tete Rusconi, one of the most renowned milongueros of his generation. 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. Alicias teaching methods are grounded in her academic training. She holds a degree in Educational Science and Psychology, and she is currently an instructor for university level education students, in addition to her teaching, being a mother of two sons, and running her family real estate business. She is a very warm and caring person who loves to share her knowledge. INFORMATION: Barbara Bill [email protected] 513-602-7886 --------------------------------- Don't be flakey. Get Yahoo!
