Nina's Tango Dance Background
Nina Tatarowicz is one of tango's new generation of dancers.
Captivated by it's soulful expression as a partner dance, she moved to
Buenos Aires in 2001 to deepen her
study of the art form. During her time in Buenos Aires, she was
recognized as an up and coming dancer of the new generation, offering
her the opportunity to become one of the few instructors to teach in BsAs from
outside of Argentina. She taught at Tango Elite Argentino and Tango
Brujo studios, and performed in acclaimed venues such as the Teatro
Avenida in 2004, and El Cubo and Teatro Solis in 2008. Her extensive
experience studying with tango masters such as Chicho
Frumboli, Eugenia Parrilla, Pablo Villarraza and Dana Frigoli, Melina
Brufman, Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa, and Gustavo Naveira,
led her to develop a clear technique and teaching method accessible to
all.
Drawing from the roots of tango’s past,
Nina's dance infuses traditional elements of Tango with a
contemporary feel. Her strong background in partner dance, musicality
and body conditioning
work through yoga and
GYROTONIC® contributes to her unique style. Nina
incorporates the principles of breath, rhythm and elasticity to create
the organic movement and connection that is characteristically Nuevo*.
Her teaching style incorporates these elements to help her students
understand the technique behind the movement. By breaking down the
patterns to their improvisational roots, she provides the tools for
dancers to express their own personality in the dance.
Nina is one of the founding instructors of the Milwaukee tango
community established in 2002. Since then, she has taught in Buenos
Aires, Egypt, Lebanon, New York, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Miami, and
throughout the Midwest. Currently, Chicago is Nina's "sweet home" for
tango where she teaches, organizes events and performs. In addition to her steady exploration into the evolution of tango as a social dance
form, Nina's latest endeavors involve testing the boundaries of tango
language, harnessing its potential to touch audiences from a theatrical
point of departure.
*What is "Tango Nuevo"?
Tango Nuevo ("New Tango") is a style of Argentine tango that developed
in response to the excitement generated by the Broadway tango shows in
the 1980s. It emphasizes a structural analysis of the dance
and organic connection between the dancers to create both fluid and
dynamic
movement. Now, two decades after the first explorations and the
creation of "Nuevo Tango," the evolution of the dance has spread like
wildfire. Dancers around the world have developed their own individual
styles of tango, making it a living, breathing art form.
