Workshops & Private Lessons Now Open
The Gala Weekend will inspire you.
The workshops and private lessons will change your dancing.
Festival learning is different. You’re immersed, alert, surrounded by motivated dancers, and working with teachers who are completely focused on the week. This is the moment to refine technique, sharpen musicality and resolve the questions you’ve been carrying for months.
Meet the Teaching Artists
Analía Morales & Gabriel Ponce
With over 25 years of international experience, Analía and Gabriel have developed a teaching method grounded in tradition, continuous study, and practical understanding of how tango evolves in real settings.
Their work focuses on three pillars: movement with purpose, connection within the couple, and musical interpretation. Classes address posture, axis, projection, weight transfer, clarity of embrace, adaptability, and phrasing.
They aim to develop structured, aware dancers — not students who rely on memorised sequences
Noelia Hurtado
Grounded in the Villa Urquiza tradition and shaped by decades in the Buenos Aires milonga scene, Noelia is widely respected for her work on the follower’s role.
Her teaching focuses on active, intelligent following — balance, grounded pivots, timing, projection, and musical response within the embrace. Embellishments are approached as deliberate musical choices rather than decoration.
Her workshops develop clarity, control, and confidence in the follower’s contribution to the couple.
Fabio Robles & Michelle Di Monte
Fabio brings decades of performance and choreographic experience across theatre, orchestral productions, and competitive tango. Michelle began tango later in life and developed through structured mentorship, giving her insight into adult learning and technical progression.
Their teaching combines clear structure with practical application. Sessions focus on reliable lead-and-follow mechanics, stability in turns, clean transitions, and functional social dancing.
The emphasis is on building technique that works consistently on a crowded floor.

Private Lessons – Focused, Personalised, Fast Progress
A private lesson compresses months of trial and error into one hour.
All private sessions are 60 minutes and held in the Perth Tango Hall. Lessons are private between you and your teacher. The hall will be arranged to allow multiple sessions to run simultaneously with appropriate space separation.
