The method
Tango is a conversation between two bodies. We start every lesson with the embrace, before any step. Once the connection is there, the dance happens almost on its own.
Most students hear tango as background. After a few lessons you'll start catching the pulse, the pauses, the phrasing, and your body will want to move with it instead of against it.
A tense body can't be expressive. We build technique that feels natural, removes the stiffness, and lets you dance for an hour without exhaustion or pain.
No two students are the same. Whether you're 25 or 60, beginner or experienced, dancing alone or with a partner, the lesson is built around your body, your goals and your pace.
About the teacher
I started dancing tango in 2006 in St. Petersburg. Two years later I co-founded TangoVivo, one of the city's leading tango schools, and spent the next decade and a half organizing festivals and marathons across Russia. Many of my students became teachers themselves, in Russia and abroad.
Since 2022 I've been in Israel.
What I care about in teaching is simple: I want you to feel good in the dance. Not to perform, not to impress anyone, not to memorize a hundred figures. To stand in the embrace, hear the music, and feel that this is yours. Everything else, technique, musicality, vocabulary, grows from there.
Outside of tango I'm a former frontend developer, I train in the gym, and I'm 51, which means I understand very well how an adult body learns, what it can do, and what it needs to be careful with.

FAQ
No. Most of my students start between 30 and 60. Tango is one of the very few partner dances where experience and presence matter more than youth or athleticism.
Yes. For group classes a partner isn't required, we rotate. For private lessons you can dance with me.
Depends on the person, but most students feel ready for their first milonga somewhere between lesson 8 and 15.
Probably yes, and it's worth a conversation before you sign up. Write me on WhatsApp, tell me what didn't work last time, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
English and Russian fluently. Hebrew at a basic level, enough for a class.
