Strictly Tango

Nadia is simply the best tango instructor I've taken classes from, and I've taken *lots* of classes in my 10 years of dancing (6+ with Nadia). In addition to tango, she has classical ballet and musical backgrounds, so to say she's knowledgeable is an understatement. She's also incredibly generous: she cares about each one of her students, tracks their progress, and gives them all the one-on-one attention they need. I'm not even mentioning how wonderful of a person she is - come and see for yourself.

Studying Argentine Tango with Nadia will change your life - in more ways than one. Her teaching style is imbued with a deep understanding of how bodies move naturally and inevitably. Her love and passion for the dance and for her students is ever present. It is strictly joyous to dance and learn in her studio and I cannot imagine my world without Argentine Tango nor without Strictly Tango. Such a privilege, thank you, Nadia.

If you would like to start learning Tango, as an absolute beginner - don’t go anyone but Nadia (Strictly Tango). I started learning Tango in July 2013 which totally changed my life. Nadia was (and still is) my teacher, I was so fortunate to have her as my first Tango teacher, as she has very detailed eyes which she would not miss anything that should be corrected on your movements. You’ll have a lot of attention from her during the class, as it’s small size and she always keeps the role balance (Follower/Leader role). She teaches not only steps but musicality, mentality, etiquette, and culture background of Tango - in short, what the life like with Tango. Richer your tango experience than just learning steps to show off.

Someone said “Tango is the life and beyond.” Tango is not something you can learn in short term. Nadia is THE teacher I always would like to come back to relearn basics and remind me of why I dance social Tango.

There are many Tango teachers in Vancouver, and everyone has own style, method of teaching which is great to expand your Tango world but again, if you’re an absolute beginner - Go with Nadia.

Nadia's tango classes are the very best. Unlike a lot of teachers who focus on footwork and patterns, Nadia focuses on really teaching technique so that when you get to any of the more elaborate patterns, you know what to do with your body and how to connect with your partner. It makes a huge difference to have solid technique, and Nadia won't let you get away without it! Nadia is passionate and warm and her class environment is friendly, caring, and fun. Love!

I studied Ballet with Nadia for two years.
She was my favourite teacher in the 14 years that I studied Ballet.
Now I study Tango with her and she instructs it much like she did Ballet.
She makes sure you have the steps solidly before pressing forward, and this gives confidence, and a feeling of success to the student. She is a stickler for detail!
This is what I look for when studying.
Nadia is not only a magnificent instructor, she is a warm, humorous, considerate, and kind human being.
All of these wonderful attributes come into play in her fabulous Argentine Tango classes!!

Thank you
