Personal Dance Trainer Tango | Dance | Wedding | Show | Workshop. Express your soul through movements. TANGO SHOWS
When we dance, we infuse our soul into our dancing.

Nothing else exists but the here and now. Idea Tango shows are characterised by the depth and intensity of the music and the vibrating energy of the tango embrace. Our emotions become perceivable during the tango performance and captivate the audience. Whether you are you organising a wedding, a festival, a party or any other event, we can spice it up with some Argentine Tango entertainment! TANGO

LESSONS & WORKSHOPS
When we teach, we take our students by their hand and accompany them on a voyage through their own emotions. An inspiring, energising, step-by-step journey that makes them feel more confident, accomplished and able to express their soul through their dance. At Idea Tango we give tango private lessons in Leiden, tango lessons online, tango workshops and weekly group tango courses in Leiden and Den Haag. TANGO VACATIONS
Idea Tango organises tango vacations in Italy. Our tango vacation in Rome, in October, is the perfect occasion to visit a unique town that you must see at least once in a lifetime. Among all the tango vacations in Europe, a tango vacation in Italy is certainly without equal if you would like to combine tango with art, culture, history, fashion, delicious food and the "dolce vita" lifestyle.

🚨Don’t miss Part 2: follow along. 💃

You can hear Di Sarli.
But are you actually DANCING Di Sarli? 🤔

⚠️ Recognising an orchestra and allowing it to change your dancing are two different things.

👉🏻 So the question becomes:
“What does Di Sarli ask from my body?”

🌺 What happens to your energy?
🌺 Your timing?
🌺 The way you move?

Because you don’t necessarily need a new vocabulary of movements for every orchestra. 👣

Musicality is to learn how to let the music transform the vocabulary you already have. 🎶

This is Part 1 of my mini-series exploring 3️⃣ very different worlds:
✨ Di Sarli — elegance and refinement
⚡ D’Arienzo — rhythm and energy
🎭 Pugliese — tension, drama and contrast

Next: D’Arienzo.
And yes…your body will need to wake up a little differently. 😏

👉🏻 Real musicality is learning to listen deeply enough that you can understand what the music is asking from you…

👉🏻 and developing the tools in your body to answer.

🎥 That is what I explore in depth inside my Advanced Tango Musicality course.
💃 If you want to move beyond “dancing to the beat” and learn how to truly translate what you hear into movement, the link is in my bio.

💬 When a Di Sarli tanda comes on, what changes in your dancing?
I’m curious to know 👇

Let’s express the tango music together 💫

P.S.: In this reel I am wearing another beautifully crafted piece of the collection ❤️. Where refined design meets exceptional quality, for tango dancers who believe comfort should never come at the expense of elegance. 💃

When I first started tango, someone told me:
“Tango IS walking. If you can truly walk well, you can dance tango.” 👣

I remember thinking:
“well…I have been walking my entire like. How hard can this be?!” 😏

Then I moved from open to close embrace and realise:
“Uuhh…that’s way more difficult than I thought…” 🤯

A few years into my tango journey, I discovered there wasn’t such a thing as THE tango walk. 😫

Nope!
🚩Because the walk changes with the music.
🚩With the orchestra.
🚩With the melody, rhythm, accents, phrasing…

And just when I thought, OK, now I finally understand it…
Someone would tell me:
💥“Push the floor more”
💥“Connect from your hips”
💥“What about your heel?”
💥“Your toes?”
💥“The inside of the foot?”
💥“And the outside?”

And that’s when I finally understood what they meant:
“If you can walk well, you can dance tango.” 🤷🏻‍♀️

❌Not because walking is easy.

✅ But because learning to walk in tango means learning to organise your body, communicate with your partner, and respond to the music - over and over again.

And apparently, I’m still not done exploring it. 😉

🎥 I’m currently preparing Embodied Tango Mechanics, where we’ll take the tango walk apart and look at what is really happening inside your body when you walk.

💬 What was the biggest “aha!” moment you had about your tango walk?
Tell me in the comments 👇🏻

🌀And if you’d like to go deeper, follow me - I’ll let you know when Embodied Tango Mechanics is ready. 💃

Walking with you 💫

Getting a dance with the leaders I wanted to dance with has not always been easy.

Sometimes getting ANY dance would not be easy! 🙈
Even as a pro! 🤯

Throughout the years I have danced tango socially in milongas, festivals, marathons and several countries. 🌍

And milonga after milonga I have refined my strategies. 😋

👉🏻 This is what has been working best for me.

Which other tip or strategy do you use❓
💃Share it in the comments to help each other 🙌🏻

To enjoy milongas even more 💫

The first time I rewatched myself dancing, I didn’t like what I saw. 🫣

Has this ever occurred to you too❓

👉🏻Eventually, I realised that I didn’t like what I saw not because the steps were wrong.
💡But because the lines were the problem.

🤷🏻‍♀️ Nobody told me this at the beginning of my tango journey:
💠 technique and aesthetics aren’t two separate things.

🔆 The way you organize your spine.
🔆 The position of your head.
🔆 How you place your free leg.
🔆 The relationship between your limbs and your torso.
🔆 The way you create space around yourself.
All these details change the way a movement looks.

And no, I don’t think caring about how your tango looks means caring only about appearance. 🤪

💃 Tango is a physical conversation. 🕺

Your body communicates through movement, through space, through shape — and yes, through visual lines too.

🇮🇹 Perhaps I am biased because I’m Italian… but I do believe that a pleasure for the eyes is part of the experience. 😉

The beautiful thing is that this isn’t about being naturally elegant.
💡Body lines can be trained.💡

🔥 And once you become aware of them, you may be surprised by how much more beautiful your tango can look — without learning a single new figure.

💬 Which side do you recognize from your own videos?

Which interpretation do you prefer: melodic or rhythmic❓
Let me know in the comments. 👇🏻

❌ You do NOT need to know hundreds of embellishments.
✅ You just need to know HOW to transform the same movement.

👉🏻 In this reel I’m dancing exactly the same embellishment every time.

🤷🏻‍♀️What changes? 🤔

✨ My body energy.
✨ The quality of the movement.
✨ The intention behind it.

A melodic phrase asks for one kind of energy.
A rhythmic phrase asks for another.

💡The movement stays the same.
♻️ The expression becomes completely different.

🎼 Musicality isn’t about collecting movements for different types of music.
👉🏻 It’s about learning how to change your body energy and quality of movement according to the musical layer you want to interpret.

🎧 Of course, before you can express the music, you first need to recognise what you’re hearing to decide what you want to interpret.👂🏻

📽️ That’s exactly what I teach inside Tango Musicality Explained:
💠 practical tools that help you hear the music and translate it into movement,
💠 not by memorizing more steps,
💠 but by transforming the ones you already know.

📩 DM me and I’ll send the direct link.

Let’s dance rather than move 💫

👉🏻Want to improve your tango connection?
👉🏻Follow for more tips!

In my 1:1 coaching sessions, I work with dancers of all levels. 💃🕺From beginners to highly experienced tangueros & tangueras.

😯 Surprisingly, they often share the same challenge:
🚩communicating and connecting through their frame.
✔️Leaders and followers alike.

Many dancers believe they’re using their frame correctly, yet a large part of the information they intend to transmit never reaches their partner. ⛓️‍💥

Simply because they’re not using their frame to its full potential. 📶

The key lies in engaging your latissimus dorsi (lats) so that your 🔸lats, 🔸obliques, and 🔸transversus abdominis work together as ♻️ one integrated system, especially during upper-body dissociation.

While this connection 🔗is often easy to find when practicing alone in static positions, maintaining it while embracing a partner and moving together is a completely different challenge. 🤯
👉🏻That’s where communication, connection, and the quality of the embrace can start to fade. 🌓

💥On top of that, an inefficient frame can contribute to unnecessary tension, discomfort, or even pain - for you, your partner, or both.💥

🌟 Share this with a fellow tango dancer who would benefit from it.

📌In my next post, you’ll find a simple exercise to help you develop the connection between your lats and your core.

Stay tuned! 💫
