BIO
Alicia Pons is an elegant and accomplished dancer with refined technique and 
distinctive personality. Her ability to imbue the role of the woman with 
verve and style has made her one of the most sought after female partners in 
Buenos Aires milongas. And, she wows her tango partners here in the US when 
she visits.

She is most noted for her foot play and sensual seduction, which are done 
with humor and decorum. She exemplifies presence in the dance, and this is a 
focus in her teaching for both men and women.

As a teacher, Alicia emphasizes the partners' connection, and in particular 
the woman's ability to not just follow, but to be an equal protagonist in 
the dance. She is a very warm and caring person who loves to share her 
knowledge.

Alicia was trained in classical dance from an early age and as a young woman 
performed in some of Buenos Aires' most well known theaters, the Colon, the 
Coliseo, and the Alvear. Her introduction to tango came later, and her first 
teacher was Graciela Gonzalez, whose women's technique has shaped her tango 
footwork. But Alicia gravitated toward the milonguero style and her first 
inspiration and male teacher in that style was Tete Rusconi, one of the most 
renowned milongueros of his generation.
She taught a number of years with Cacho Dante, with whom she has performed 
at the Teatro San Martin as part of the City of Buenos Aires tango festival. 
Alicia has been teaching both private and group classes on her own for the 
last few years; she has become a very popular visiting instructor on the 
U.S. Argentine tango workshop circuit.

Alicia's teaching methods are grounded in her academic training. She holds a 
degree in Educational Science and Psychology, and she is currently an 
instructor for university level education students, in addition to her 
teaching, being a mother of two sons, and running her family real estate 
business.
