📌It doesn't always take two for things to work...
To begin to connect, assimilate and experiment with new KNOWLEDGE, the most IMPORTANT thing is the body, the attitude, perseverance and a great pinch of confidence!
I always like to approach the codes of different dance disciplines, based on structures that work on the physical, rhythmic, and creative aspects.
There is an idea that Tango is difficult to learn, and of course if we approach it with that label, it will be that way. Starting from the main concept of tango, WALKING, something that we all do most of the time, dancing tTANGO is within everyone's reach.🤗
Another very important point is the way to assimilate and understand it 😉😅
❤️‍🔥What will the classes be like, you ask?
I'll tell you a little bit, we are going to develop the structure in the work of weight changes, the step, projection of the walk, the pivot, understanding the kinesphere individually and as a couple translated into the hug, the turns and the spiral torso to understand the momentum in various exercises, the eights so famous in tango, the basic step and universal exit, walks with the concept of lanes and much more from various sequences that familiarize you with the technical needs to be able to perform the steps without leaving aside the dynamics, pulse, accent and compas of the tango. Everything will be raised in the background in a more organic way. It's not just about learning individual steps, and then...what do we do 🧐? It is not the form that should take the leading role, but the way in which you express that form.
We will also let your creative and playful side be part of the process, through a tool that I consider very valuable, which is improvisation 👌 since it allows you to find your own style and recognize your strengths and weaknesses to continue growing in your passion for dance.
With all these tools, entering the world of more complex sequences and why not, creating your own, will be one more step and not an impossible challenge to achieve.🤩
Don't forget that the steps that are known today and a large part of the sequences emerged from a restless and creative mind, which explored synonymous with IMPROVISE❗️
Let's go through the process together and hold each other in a hug.
Extra information
🔆A space to work, it doesn't need to be very large.
🔆A floor that allows you to slide.
🔆Shoes that give you security and control without getting stuck. (tango shoes if you like)
🔆Internet connection
🔆Portable device
🔆Chair, Bar or wall for some exercises.

About Me
Hello!
Thanks in advance for your interest in reading a bit of my profile and approaching some of the proposals offered 🤗
Well, first of all, my name is Carla and I would like to tell you that I am a Professional Dancer and Teacher in the discipline of Classical and Contemporary Dance. I was born in Argentina, but I have lived in Mexico for about twenty years now 🔥🙏
In addition to my profession, I love to dance everything, especially salsa and tango. I feel happy in contact with nature, lately I have been interested in plants and the garden, it takes time 😉
I am a lover of observation and the way in which the body adapts to the rhythm. I love analyzing the biomechanics of actions and finding ways to improve them and give them the individual touch that each person requires.
I love traveling, meeting people, although I admit to being selective with who enters my environment 🙃
I am curious, knowing and acquiring new skills. I feel happy to be accompanied by my pet guides 🌺
In my dance work and lifestyle, I have experienced bodily and emotional injuries that have led me to seek other parallel axes of encounters with my way of being in my present with and from the body and my faithful companion the mind. As far as being physical is concerned, I approached intuitively at first and then more formally to various knowledge related to the processes of re-training, rehabilitation and improvement of postures and muscular compensations for repetitive sports gesture or unnecessary muscular tensions for accumulation of efforts and anchored emotions.
Trust the body for its own realignment, through analytical and comprehensive work.
During the Pandemic, the time available, I favor the exploration spaces to result in a training that today I call
"BALANCE WORKOUT". ✨🙏 One of the class proposed on this Platform.
Since then, I continue to merge the work approach in the rest of the activities that I manage, observing very beneficial results. I mention it on a very personal note, since I have experienced it myself. 🔥
On the other hand, I am gradually making the proposal known and trusting, opening my work to the online market and leaving aside the obstacles that one usually puts up. 😅


"Small changes, generate big benefits"❗

The classes are aimed at the assimilation of technical elements with a biomechanical approach, focusing on the development of appropriate mechanics based on muscle chains and joint release. Knowledge of the objectives of the class sequences with a methodology broken down into the steps, theoretical and practical, will allow a more conscious execution in the long term, preventing short-term injuries. The importance of identifying body strengths and weaknesses individually, to program an exercise plan and overcome technical challenges in the development of a ballet class. Coordination, agility, resistance, stability, flexibility and proprioception will be objectives within reach during classes!
Commitment and dedication will be our allies 🤗
There is always time to start with your dreams and goals, whether you are just starting out, you have been training for a while and you want to give your work a twist to the codes of classical dance from a more organic perspective or dance has simply been part of your life and you like to be active based on the psycho-physical benefits of this discipline.
Together we can share the process of training from a different consciousness, attending to the body as a whole.😁

Are you seeking for a creative and uplifting way to consciously reconnect with yourself ? Transcendental Dance® is a practice that will guide you to embrace your emotions and help you to reach your true authentic self. Through meditative dances, guided imageries, and energy healing modalities.

As a body-mind-soul coach, and professional dancer, I'm here to support and guide you in your process of discovering your inner power through:
- energy alignment, guided meditation, breathing exercises
- self-expression & subjective experience through dance
- expanding your heart space, emotional awareness, and healing in movement and dance
- release of stress, judgment, and trapped emotions
- grounding, self-care, resilience
- and more...

Dance can be a practice of introspection, transformation, and transcendence of one’s subjective experiences into a worldwide journey.

*

Instead of suppressing these emotions and creating energetical and mental blockages (that can end up into somatic pains or burn-out): we should pay more attention to these inner warning messages and strengthen our emotional intelligence to be able to cope with the infinitesimal external stimulus and daily-stress of our very fast lives.
It can be challenging to sense with clarity what is the origin of some feelings of frustration, unsatisfaction, discomfort, or grief, and it can be intimidating or discouraging to walk alone on that path.

It is a safe space to open yourself, to release the fear of judgment and limiting beliefs that keep you confined to an outdated version of yourself, preventing you from becoming who you are truly meant to be and from sharing your light with the world.

This class helps you to commit to your better-being, presence to oneself countering wellness procrastination.
What do you need to feel lighter, brighter, or happier in your everyday life? What is your self-achievement potentiality?

* For who? : For anyone who enjoys movement and dance, and desires a better connection and understanding with their moving bodies. / ​One-to-one or group sessions.
* ​Where? : Online via SKYPE or at the student's location.

The sessions are tailored to the specific needs and capabilities of each individual.

* More about the story behind this practice:
Transcendental Dance® originated as a personal movement practice and was later deepened through a university thesis at Panthéon-Sorbonne University (Paris 1), alongside ongoing lectures on sacred and healing dance.
It is grounded in a phenomenological inquiry into the spiritualization of dance today, often referred to as sacred dance and its therapeutic and inclusive dimensions. The research explores the metaphysical unity between the tangible body, understood as the material vehicle, and the intangible bodies (psychological, emotional, energetic, and spiritual).
At its core lies embodied phenomenology: the study of pre-motor movement and the energetic movement of consciousness that precedes physical gesture, revealing the adhesion of the invisible to the visible. This approach does not advocate an escape from the body in order to transcend; rather, it affirms that there is no ascension without descent, and that transcendence is accomplished through full incarnation.
Transcendental Dance® thus proposes a post-dualistic vision uniting body, soul, and spirit, integrating human existence within both natural and spiritual cycles, and unfolding as a practice of embodied spirituality, a dancing prayer, and a conscious methodology for personal transformation.

Classes, choreography and staging! in person or virtually

Are you going home and want to do something special? Let's do it together, whether it's a dance, a performance, or whatever you want—alone, with your partner, family, bridesmaids, or whoever you want. There are two options: I'll teach you how to dance the genre you're going to dance plus the choreography, or I'll just teach you the choreography. It's up to you.

The cost of creating choreographies depends on their duration (in addition to the cost of the class and/or rehearsal).

All ages and levels, don't wait any longer!

What was Mikhail Barishnikov, Rudolf Nureyev, Natalia Osipova, and all the other Russian dancers’ secret to success? The one thing they all have in common is their training in the Russian ballet method of Vaganova. This professional method has been developed over the decades to become the most effective method in the world. The grandeur of the legendary Russian Bolshoi and Marinskii theatres speak for themselves. For this reason, I have gone to Russia to study for my bachelors in this method at the University of Moscow, and together with my collective experience in teaching ballet, am waiting to train you to become the next ballet legend.

WHAT DO CLASSES LOOK LIKE? Each lesson is 1 hour 30 minutes, the sweet spot between length of attention span, physical endurance span, and building stamina. Ballet classes are structured according to the Russian ballet method of Vaganova, and body conditioning classes include professionally developed exercises specifically for dancers. I customize lessons to work on what my students most need, and therefore weak spots are attended to until they are wiped out. Lessons are conducted online in the convenience of your own home, saving both time and transport costs.

WILL YOU BENEFIT FROM THESE LESSONS? My lessons are for you if you any one of the following scenarios describes your situation:

1) YOU DO NOT ATTEND ANY OTHER BALLET CLASSES - classes include a full syllabus, examinations are optional, and you can therefore attend my online lessons as your only source of ballet.

2) YOU ALREADY ATTEND OTHER BALLET LESSONS - I also offer the option for you to take these classes as a supplementary addition to classes at your studio in order to boost your scores in exams and competitions, and improve your technique, strength, allegro, and stability in pirouettes, balance, and pointe. This gives you the chance of becoming the new class hero, and enjoy the freedom of dancing without worrying about stamina, faulty technique, low leg height, weak allegro, and gruesome posture.

3) YOU ARE A DANCER, BUT YOU DO NOT DO BALLET - my body conditioning classes are beneficial for dancers of all genres. It teaches complete control over the body, promoting stability, strength, leg height, good balance and stamina.

WHAT LEVELS DO I TEACH? I currently teach beginner, intermediate and semi-advanced levels (RAD levels would translate as all levels up to Advanced 1), for children from age 10+ and adults. Although I am qualified to teach higher levels, I currently do not have time to choreograph full classes at such high intensity and complication.

ABOUT DANÉ - I am an experienced ballet teacher who loves ballet, people and teaching. To make it more interesting, here is my experience starting now and going backward: Currently I am studying at the university of Moscow where I have been voted the best student of the institute by my lecturers, and have attained cum laude so far in all my subjects. I began studying for my bachelors in Moscow September 2020. I have 14 subjects including the Russian ballet method of Vaganova and several other dance styles, body conditioning for dancers, choreography, music and acting. Due to current events I study online from South Africa for now. In my free time I teach ballet and write scripts for productions, sometimes staging my choreography when time allows. Prior to this, I studied Russian for a year in Kazan, Russia (this is a requirement if you study choreography in Moscow). Before going to Russia I founded and directed my own ballet school in Johannesburg from 2017-2019, and staged 3 productions. During this time I trained with the Russian School of Ballet in South Africa, attained a distinction for my exam and took part in their production at the Roodepoort State Theatre. Before this I trained with the RAD with many distinctions up to Advanced 1, but changed to the Russian method just before taking my Advanced 2 exam (if you take classes with me you will understand why;)). Furthermore, I won countless gold, A+ and special awards in festivals, eisteddfods and competitions, several of them including my own choreography. I was part of a theatre group from 2016-2017, where I performed the lead role in the Roodepoort State Theatre. I have done ballet since 2003, and was schooled in an American syllabus from grade 1 to graduation.

Class Description:
Welcome to a journey into two beautiful South Indian classical art forms — Carnatic Vocal Music and Bharatanatyam! Children are welcome to choose either discipline based on their interest, or explore both.

Carnatic Vocal Music: Students will learn the foundations of this classical singing tradition, starting with sarali varisas, janta varisas, alankarams, and gradually progressing to geethams, varnams, and keerthanas. Lessons focus on voice culture, raga identification, tala (rhythm) awareness, and pronunciation of Sanskrit/Tamil/Telugu lyrics, building a strong foundation for confident, expressive singing.

Bharatanatyam: Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of this classical dance form, including adavus (basic steps), postures, hand gestures (mudras), facial expressions (abhinaya), and rhythm coordination. As they progress, they will learn small items such as alarippu, jatiswaram, and simple padams/keertanams, developing grace, discipline, and stage confidence.

Classes are tailored to each child's age and pace, with a nurturing approach that builds both technical skill and a genuine love for Indian classical arts. No prior experience is necessary — just enthusiasm to learn!

Let's do it together, whether it's a dance, a performance, or whatever you want—alone, with your partner, family, bridesmaids, or whoever you want. There are two options: I'll teach you how to dance the genre you're going to dance plus the choreography, or I'll just teach you the choreography. It's up to you.

The cost of creating choreographies depends on their duration (in addition to the cost of the class and/or rehearsal).

All ages and levels, don't wait any longer!

What was Mikhail Barishnikov, Rudolf Nureyev, Natalia Osipova, and all the other Russian dancers’ secret to success? The one thing they all have in common is their training in the Russian ballet method of Vaganova. This professional method has been developed over the decades to become the most effective method in the world. The grandeur of the legendary Russian Bolshoi and Marinskii theatres speak for themselves. For this reason, I have gone to Russia to study for my bachelors in this method at the University of Moscow, and together with my collective experience in teaching ballet, am waiting to train you to become the next ballet legend.

WHAT DO CLASSES LOOK LIKE? Each lesson is 1 hour 30 minutes, the sweet spot between length of attention span, physical endurance span, and building stamina. Ballet classes are structured according to the Russian ballet method of Vaganova, and body conditioning classes include professionally developed exercises specifically for dancers. I customize lessons to work on what my students most need, and therefore weak spots are attended to until they are wiped out. Lessons are conducted online in the convenience of your own home, saving both time and transport costs.

WILL YOU BENEFIT FROM THESE LESSONS? My lessons are for you if you any one of the following scenarios describes your situation:

1) YOU DO NOT ATTEND ANY OTHER BALLET CLASSES - classes include a full syllabus, examinations are optional, and you can therefore attend my online lessons as your only source of ballet.

2) YOU ALREADY ATTEND OTHER BALLET LESSONS - I also offer the option for you to take these classes as a supplementary addition to classes at your studio in order to boost your scores in exams and competitions, and improve your technique, strength, allegro, and stability in pirouettes, balance, and pointe. This gives you the chance of becoming the new class hero, and enjoy the freedom of dancing without worrying about stamina, faulty technique, low leg height, weak allegro, and gruesome posture.

3) YOU ARE A DANCER, BUT YOU DO NOT DO BALLET - my body conditioning classes are beneficial for dancers of all genres. It teaches complete control over the body, promoting stability, strength, leg height, good balance and stamina.

WHAT LEVELS DO I TEACH? I currently teach beginner, intermediate and semi-advanced levels (RAD levels would translate as all levels up to Advanced 1), for children from age 10+ and adults. Although I am qualified to teach higher levels, I currently do not have time to choreograph full classes at such high intensity and complication.

ABOUT DANÉ - I am an experienced ballet teacher who loves ballet, people and teaching. To make it more interesting, here is my experience starting now and going backward: Currently I am studying at the university of Moscow where I have been voted the best student of the institute by my lecturers, and have attained cum laude so far in all my subjects. I began studying for my bachelors in Moscow September 2020. I have 14 subjects including the Russian ballet method of Vaganova and several other dance styles, body conditioning for dancers, choreography, music and acting. Due to current events I study online from South Africa for now. In my free time I teach ballet and write scripts for productions, sometimes staging my choreography when time allows. Prior to this, I studied Russian for a year in Kazan, Russia (this is a requirement if you study choreography in Moscow). Before going to Russia I founded and directed my own ballet school in Johannesburg from 2017-2019, and staged 3 productions. During this time I trained with the Russian School of Ballet in South Africa, attained a distinction for my exam and took part in their production at the Roodepoort State Theatre. Before this I trained with the RAD with many distinctions up to Advanced 1, but changed to the Russian method just before taking my Advanced 2 exam (if you take classes with me you will understand why;)). Furthermore, I won countless gold, A+ and special awards in festivals, eisteddfods and competitions, several of them including my own choreography. I was part of a theatre group from 2016-2017, where I performed the lead role in the Roodepoort State Theatre. I have done ballet since 2003, and was schooled in an American syllabus from grade 1 to graduation.

Class Description:
Welcome to a journey into two beautiful South Indian classical art forms — Carnatic Vocal Music and Bharatanatyam! Children are welcome to choose either discipline based on their interest, or explore both.

Carnatic Vocal Music: Students will learn the foundations of this classical singing tradition, starting with sarali varisas, janta varisas, alankarams, and gradually progressing to geethams, varnams, and keerthanas. Lessons focus on voice culture, raga identification, tala (rhythm) awareness, and pronunciation of Sanskrit/Tamil/Telugu lyrics, building a strong foundation for confident, expressive singing.

Bharatanatyam: Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of this classical dance form, including adavus (basic steps), postures, hand gestures (mudras), facial expressions (abhinaya), and rhythm coordination. As they progress, they will learn small items such as alarippu, jatiswaram, and simple padams/keertanams, developing grace, discipline, and stage confidence.

Classes are tailored to each child's age and pace, with a nurturing approach that builds both technical skill and a genuine love for Indian classical arts. No prior experience is necessary — just enthusiasm to learn!
