Biography

Brigitta Winkler currently divides her time between New York and Berlin.  She studied ballet and modern dance for many years.  In 1980, her life changed when she discovered Argentine Tango.  She then spent some years in Paris studying with Virulazo, a star of Argentine Tango.   Her first stage appearance was in 1986 in Montreal’s Tangoshow.

Brigitta teaches at festivals in the USA, Germany, Italy and Russia.  In 1987 she opened Tanzart in Berlin, which then became Phynixtanzt, her school in Berlin.  She studied intensively in the early 1980s in Buenos Aires with such noted dancers as Juan Carlos Copes, Antonio Todaro, Pepito, Gustavo Naveira, and Eduardo Arquimbau, among others.  Brigitta studied Authentic Movement and incorporates a four-year program of Body Mind Centering into her approach.  She is also the co-founder of the internationally acclaimed, all woman dance company, Tangomujer.
