---------------------

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 partners¹ connection, and in particular
the woman¹s 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 Aires¹ 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 women¹s 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.
