Her range of experience prior to tango encompasses ballet, hip hop, salsa and other latin dance, as well as a thorough grounding in Tai Chi, yoga and other bodywork. Fifteen years ago, Argentine Tango completely captured her soul and changed the course of her dance life. AnaLinda has danced and studied Argentine Tango on three continents and in dozens of cities worldwide. She's taught it for the past ten years in the Boston metro area, and is currently a faculty member at the Dance Complex in Cambridge, where she runs group lesson series throughout the year. AnaLinda also teaches classes and private lessons at Movimiento, a combined Art Gallery and dance space which she co-founded in Boston's South End arts district. As a hands-on instructor, she is highly regarded for her enthusiastic teaching style, with the gift of engaging students of diverse backgrounds and abilities toward personal expression in their tango journey. AnaLinda stresses connection to the partner of the moment, and draws out the essential musicality dancers will need to create their own authentic Argentine Tango triadic relationship (with music as the third partner). AnaLinda excels at teaching students on all levels, from professional dancers to those without previous dance experience. AnaLinda has also performed tango publicly at venues such as the Harvard Club, and at festivals, colleges and cultural institutions in the Boston region. Even within these performances, the dances are entirely improvisational, as they would be in any social dance setting. This is the essence and the magic of authentic Argentine Tango.
