Guest Teacher:
Born in Chile, Isabel was immersed in dance from an early age. She began taking tango classes in 1999, learning from the old-generation masters. Isabel acted as a real founder and promoter of the tango scene in Chile; and helped give birth to a whole new generation of Tango dancers. During her regular visits to Buneos Aires, she gave shows for three years in Tango Mundial, an event organized by Parakultural in the Tango Club Salón Canning. In 2008, she settled in Buenos Aires and began her professional career as a tango dancer and teacher, also pursuing studies of the rich history and traditional essence of tango within the culture of Argentina – from early beginnings to modern day. Her main influence for the next three years was Argentine maestro Andres Laza Moreno, with whom she developed her present Villa Urquiza style of tango salon and with whom she toured throughout Asia in 2010 and 2011.
