About me
My name is Emilia Andrada from Argentina.
I started learning tango during my dance studies at university and specialized as a dancer and tango teacher in Buenos Aires.
Today I am very grateful to be able to share my culture with the whole world and to pass on what tango means to me, how it can change our lives and connect us with our feelings.
Throughout my career, I have played a key role as a choreographer, teacher and dancer of Argentine folklore and tango. I have taught courses in important institutions such as the ‘Centro Cultural Rojas’ of the University of Buenos Aires. I also spent several years in Brazil, where I trained and studied ballet at renowned dance schools. As a resident artist at the Reference Centre for Dance SP, I initiated and implemented numerous dance projects. I also had the opportunity to dance with the renowned dance company ‘La Fura dels Baus’ at the prestigious ‘Theatro Municipal São Paulo’. In 2015, together with Benjamin Galian, we founded the dance company ‘Charme Tango’ and had the opportunity to dance on some of the most prestigious stages in São Paulo. As a TangoDJane, I have worked at major European events and taught hundreds of students in Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico, Brazil, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Malta, Tunisia, Cyprus and Japan. With more than 22 years of professional experience in the field of dance, I have also completed complementary training in postural training, a postgraduate course in cultural management and a postgraduate course in the history and politics of tango. I have also completed additional training in the following areas: Make-up artist, audiovisual media, stage lighting, musicalisation of tango (TDJ), integration of music into dance, choreography, dance pedagogy, Feldenkrais, eutony, yoga, contacto-improvisation, anatomy for dance, prevention of physical injuries, biomechanics of movement, etc. This knowledge has enabled me to develop a pedagogical method for teaching tango that conveys information clearly and contextually. The innovative approach, which aims to facilitate the learning process, is based on three pillars: dance, music and tango culture. Germany has been my home for several years and from here I continue to travel, dance and teach tango classes in the region and in other countries. It's just fantastic that I can do all this!
