About Me
Silvia takes her students by the hand and accompanies them on a voyage of discovery through tango land. An inspiring, stimulating, step-by-step journey to self-confidence and comfort that will ultimately enable the tango dancer to fully express themselves in dance.

Using her structured and tailor-made teaching methodology developed over more than 20 years, she empowers her students to overcome their fears and achieve what they are looking for.

Silvia and her dance partners focus the lessons on teaching a solid technical foundation, posture, walking, hugging and musicality, so that a harmonic connection with the partner and the music arises that unleashes creativity, elegance and emotions.
Education
Since I was 6 I have been developing, expressing and mastering the mechanics of the body movement. I competed as a rhythmic gymnast, studied ballet, modern and contemporary and performed with the Aleph and Il Gruppo Italiano dance companies in live concerts, TV shows and movies.

I discovered Argentine Tango in 2006. I immediately started an intensive learning path of the tango culture and its expressions, mostly fostered by my teacher Andrés Bezem and also with other renowned and outstanding names such as Alejandra Mantiñan, Sebastian Achaval, Roxana Suarez, Sebastian Arce , Juan Martin Carrara and Stefania Colina, among others.
Experience / Qualifications
Since 2009 I have been teaching tango across Europe and performing at competitions, milongas, festivals, theaters and TV movies. I am currently based in the Netherlands where I teach regular tango classes.

Hi! My name is Ioannis. I am a professional dancer of Greek traditional dances. My passion for Greek dances started 25 years ago when I was only 5 years old! I have been an active member of the International Dance Council (CID, UNESCO), the official organization for all forms of dance in all countries of the world. I successfully participated in numerous national and international festivals worldwide, with many awards, while I am a certified teacher by Greek Dances Theatre “Dora Stratou”.

During my courses, you can learn several dances from all the Greek regions. Together we can learn how to dance in an authentic way, getting to know in depth the Greek heritage. The lessons include the provision of cultural and folklore knowledge for each specific region as well as dance explanation style based on the socio-economical and geological characteristics. The dances options may include: Zempekiko, Ikariotikos, Syrtaki, Pentozali, Xasapiko, Zonaradiko, Tik, Serra, Tsamiko, Syrtos and Ballos.

The lessons are tailor-made based on every student’s focusing on every student’s skills and knowledge, always focusing on personal wishes.

Tango dance is an endless treasure. Join the exciting Argentine Tango adventure guided by an instructor with three years of experience.

Do you want to dance as energetically as the dancers of Beyonce, Rihanna or other top artists? Then you are in the right place. Commercial dance focuses on exactly that, and originally comes from show business! You guessed it, this dance style is all about beautiful, tight movements and the focus is on performance. So we will definitely work on appearance, because a depressed backup dancer doesn't make anyone happy.

Do you want to participate in high-level competitions, or make unique and fun videos for your social media? Maybe you like to step into the spotlight with your friends for a workshop and make lasting memories together? Everything is possible!

I am a USA-trained figure skater. With my private tutoring, learn all the basics of figure skating up to some more advanced basic moves. The curriculum includes:
Swizzles
One Foot Glides
Forward Crossovers
Backward Crossovers
Inside and Outside Edges
Two Foot Spin
Spirals
Three Turns
Off Ice Strength Conditioning

And more!

I focus very closely on maintaining correct form. Coaching can be customized to your preferences if you would like to focus on improving certain skills. I am not affiliated with a rink so our class is informal and done at times when the rink is not busy, ie late on weekdays.

I started my journey of learning how to shuffle/cut shapes a little over a year and a half ago and it ignited a flame of passion in me like nothing had in a very long time. I'd say it's turned into a somewhat spiritual experience for me. Although there is of course still a lot for me to learn and improve on and I feel like my journey has just started, I feel confident that I can help others get started on their own journey. My fundamentals as well as my knowledge and understanding of the dance are pretty solid and I would never try to teach you something that is outside of my expertise. I think at the end of the day though, the most important thing with dance is to just have fun and to learn to find confidence and freedom in your expression through it, so most of all I hope I can help you find that.
