Biography: Maestro Gonzalez-Becerra is the founder and director of the Tango Academy Arizona. His teaching is rooted in the traditions of the neighborhood of the barrio Balvanera - Congreso in the city of Buenos Aires -Argentina where he was born, raised and educated. His dance is inspired primarily by his family whose tango legacy as well as their love for thoroughbred racehorses, closely related to the tango culture, was passed onto him and it became an extension of himself, a way of life, indeed. Maestro Gonzalez-Becerra was educated and trained in the performing arts from a very early age.
Our Philosophy & Vision: The Academy was founded in 1996, aiming primarily at educating and teaching the very essence of the true Tango de Buenos Aires. As an educator, Maestro González-Becerra leads his students through the path of recognition of the truth as part of their journey towards freedom, which is the uncompromised step prior to reach completeness as a tango dancer. "Authentic Argentine Tango, Milonga, Candombe and Vals" is taught exclusively by Argentine Teachers, who will introduce you to the art of Tango Argentino. "Beginner, Intermediate, Intermediate-Advanced and Advanced" levels offered by the Tango Academy Arizona prioritize on musicality, interaction and communication between partners. The intention of the dance, character and individuality in concept, interpretation of the music, redefinition of corporal expression is taught at the academy. The students learn to tango who they are. This program emphasizes not on predictable steps and figures, nor just on learning how to dance, but in a much broader spectrum of concepts that this art form known as the Tango Argentino has to offer. It's not the dance that matters, it's the music. Tango Argentino is a language to be spoken through your emotions. Once the student immerses himself in the language of tango, the transformation begins.
