MATIAS

Born in Buenos Aires in 1985, he is a multidisciplinary artist. Tango dancer, teacher and choreographer, Matias has traced an atypical course at the crossroads of disciplines.
Matías has trained in traditional tango venues in Buenos Aires since the age of 17. With a degree in linguistics and literature at the University of Buenos Aires (2012), he nurtured an aesthetic curiosity inspired by tango which led him to question several disciplines such as writing, drawing, video and in particular contemporary dance.

Her approach and her experiences have led her to specialize in the integration of tools and languages to solve, create or support various artistic projects.

Since 2012 he has participated in contemporary dance projects. In 2011/2012, he provided tango workshops at the Tanztheater Pina Bausch (for the piece Nur Du), and in 2016 he participated in a tango intervention in the framework of the "PINA BAUSCH" exhibition in Bonn, Germany . Since 2012, he has particularly developed choreographic creations with an imaginary inspired by tango. In 2013 he spent a year in Marseille during the year "Marseille, the capital of European culture". From 2015 to 2017 he was an associate artist at Incidence Chorégraphique, composed with dancers from the Opéra national de Paris. Matias has followed the work of several companies, for example Les Choses de Rien, by Boris Gibé. In 2017 Matias began a series of collaborations with the Ballet of the Opéra national du Rhin: he participated in the Atelier (a week of research with others artists) and he designed the scenography of the program “Danser Bach au XXI” (choreography by Chaix, Bouché and Mercy). In April 2019, also with the Ballet de l'Opéra national du Rhin, he directed and choreographed the tango opera “MARIA DE BUENOS AIRES”, by Astor Piazzolla and Horacio Ferrer, as part of the ARSMONDO festival Currently, Matias is associate artist of LA FABRIQUE AUTONOME DES ACTEURS (Lorraine), for the 2019/2020 season.
At the same time, and between dance and linguistics, Matias created his own movement notation system in 2013. Matias has published three books around this subject: in 2016 the Spanish version of the system, in 2017 the French version, and in 2018 a study around his analysis of movement for the tango. This approach feeds an important part of his questions in dance and the possibilities of transposing the constituent elements of tango to other areas.

The imagination and the combination of tools, such as in language, give a unique profile to his way of facing complex artistic challenges.

About Me
Independent artist, I explore with several languages around the dance of tango: choreography, drawing, writing. I invented a system to represent the movement of the tango. I propose a corporal practice for the tango but also to explore all the cultural and personal dimension that this dance allows to develop.

Transmitting the transmitting tango is one of my vocations.
Education
I am Argentinian, living in France since 2015.

I trained in ACETA Tango Academy, Buenos Aires, Argentina and with tango dancers in Buenos Aires, who passed on to me a rich cultural heritage.

I also trained at the University of Letters, Buenos Aires, Argentina for my linguist degree.

I took intensive training in other techniques, contemporary dance, ballet, feldenkrais, improvisation techniques and pilates.

Born in Buenos Aires in 1985, multidisciplinary artist. Dancer, teacher and choreographer of tango, I trace an atypical route between Europe and Argentina, at the crossroads of disciplines. Trained in the traditional places of tango in Argentina since the age of 17, I nourish an aesthetic curiosity inspired by tango, which led me to question several fields such as writing, drawing, video and contemporary dance.
Since 2012, I have developed choreographic creations, and worked in collaboration with: the Tanztheater Pina Bausch, the dancers of the Paris National Opera, the ballet of the Leipzig Opera, the company Les Choses de Rien, the Fabrique Autonome Actors, and other independent companies.
In 2017 I began a series of collaborations with the CCN Mulhouse / Ballet de l'Opéra National du Rhin, under the direction of Bruno Bouché, fundamental in its trajectory: I participated in the Atelier (multidisciplinary research residency) , designed the scenography of the program “Dancing Bach in the 21st”. As part of the Arsmondo festival, in 2019, at the request of Eva Kleinitz, he directed and choreographed the tango opera, the piece allows me to make visible a research involving several codes and aesthetic forms , beyond tango.

Dancing should feel fun, accessible, and personal. In these private lessons, I come to your home in Paris or teach you online to guide you step by step, no matter your level or experience. Whether you are a complete beginner, someone who simply wants to feel more confident on the dance floor, or looking for choreography for a special occasion, I design each class around your goals.

With a background in professional dance and training across multiple styles—including commercial, hip hop, contemporary, girly, and fusion—I’ll help you build strong foundations while keeping the experience enjoyable and inspiring. I have trained and danced in both Europe and Los Angeles, giving me international experience that I bring into every class. You’ll learn musicality, rhythm, body control, and performance skills, while also gaining confidence and having fun.

Alongside dance, I have trained in rhythmic gymnastics for over 10 years, which means I can also incorporate gymnastic tricks and elements into your lessons if you’d like to explore flexibility, balance, and acrobatic movement as part of your dance journey.

Each lesson is fully personalized—we’ll discuss together what you’d like to focus on, whether it’s learning a choreography, improving your basics, or exploring something new.

Classes are tailored for:

Absolute beginners who want to start dancing in a relaxed, encouraging way
Dancers who want personalized corrections and faster progress
Anyone who prefers private, at-home training instead of crowded studios
Students interested in adding gymnastic tricks or rhythmic gymnastics elements to their dance practice
Learners from anywhere who prefer the flexibility of online lessons

My mission is to make you shine through dance—whether it’s your very first step or the start of a new passion.
