Are You a guy experiencing midlife crisis?  Don’t blow your money on an expensive car- take some lessons with NINA and You’ll feel like a New Man!

This woman is not just an eye pleaser- she is a VERY SKILLED DANCE INSTRUCTOR.

To spice it all up, she brings all that Argentinian heat to our corner of the world and makes YOU feel it!  Great attention to detail, time spent with every student & words of encouragement make it a SUPER PLEASANT LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

I took BACHATANGO lessons with Nina. It blends the passion of Bachata with the class of Tango in the seamless flow, which makes it an AMAZING dance.
Women seem to love it, so the guy can learn how to pleasure many women SAFELY!
Thank You Nina!

Nina came into our school and taught us the tango and we seemed to learn fairly fast! The steps are easy to follow when taught and we had fun also. Thanks Nina!

Nina’s tango classes were amazing! She carefully, and slowly went over each technique, making it extremely easy to follow along.  Also, she spent time with each student helping to improve our dancing. The class flowed & everything was natural, rather than technical. Because it was so easy to follow along and I feel as if I actually learned something and wasn’t faking it the whole time, I would recommend Nina’s classes to anyone. 

I’m a dancer.  The music starts…my body moves.  The only thing is I have no idea what I was doing.  Nina has given me the fundamentals I needed to look more elegant, feminine and sexy in my dancing and to relax enough to actually follow.  (Sorry salsa men I am still working on it.)
   

- I LIKE THE BACHATANGO BECAUSE IT ALLOWS ME TO IMPROVE MY LEADING         SKILLS WICH ARE REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU ARE DANCING ANY KIND OF BALLROOM DANCE -

Grabbing your dancing partner’s hands and looking into each other’s eyes full of passion to finally end up into a tight hug and start moving your body to the sensual rhythm of the music, it is the image that immediately comes to my mind when talking about Bachatango. By definition the Tango and the Bachata are two of the most sensual dances practiced by millions of people worldwide, but if you mix both styles what you obtain is romanticism pure.  I started taking the Bachatango class at the Baila Vancouver Dance School some weeks ago and it has been a wonderful experience, but I was really suprised when Nina told us that she is the first dancing instructor ever, introducing the Bachatango in Vancouver. I definitely recommend all the people out there that are willing to try some new and exciting ways of dance to come and join us, what you are going to find here is a friendly atmosphere to learn created by one of the best dancing instructors in Vancouver, what else can you ask?

I started taking lessons with Nina less than 6 months ago and now I am hooked. Nina’s classes are fun and very effective. She makes time for every single student and pays great attenton to details. I recommend repeating each level a few times and taking private lessons with Nina to improve upon what you learn in the group classes. It is really worth it.”

thank you for your awesome dance instruction!
I know that I’ve only gone to a couple of classes so far, but I really enjoy your teaching style.
You are such a sweet chica bonita, and you really have a gift for making people feel comfortable about their dancing.

I love Nina’s’ Tango Classes because she incorporates the nuances of authentic Argentine Tango in her lessons, by teaching dance partners to be aware of the kinetic synergy between them.  Nina’s personal attention to each student has helped me improve my technique, refine my style and increase my confidence as a tanguera!

Nina’s passion for Salsa is infectious!  Her classes are fun and the dance combinations easy to learn and remember.  Because Nina begins with a strong foundation of steps, the gradual progression to more complex choreography comes quickly. I like that she teaches many levels of Salsa, this way it’s easy to be part of a community of dancers.

I have been to a number of different salsa studio’s in Vancouver and Nina’s is by far my favourite. Both the class atmosphere and the level of personal attention are fantastic. Nina fosters a friendly and fun enviroment in class and really focuses on each student to ensure that he/she develops proper dancing form. I have recomended her to many of my close friends and would reccomend her to anyone interested in salsa dancing.

Nina created a really fun, safe and friendly environment. She is very warm and open and friendly.  Nina is awesome at explaining things breaking them down into small pieces/moves and explaining how to do it.  Also, she is really respectful of where people are at/their process—She never seemed annoyed or frustrated when it took a long time for us to learn things. Thanks a million Nina!  you’re class was a really great experience.  I learned a lot, had fun and felt very encouraged about continuing to dance salsa.  See you on the dance floor!”

Nina is able to improve your dancing technique while making you feel good about yourself at the same time.….it is obvious she loves to teach and it is obvious she loves to dance…”

We started taking beginner Salsa classes from Nina in March just to try something new and we had a blast!  Right from the start we felt comfortable in the group classes and met a lot of great people.  Nina is a great teacher, offering different perspectives and ways of learning and remembering the steps so that when you leave her classes you can practice on your own.  You can always ask her questions and she is always willing to help; whether you are a lead or a follow.  We also took a private lesson with her and she did a great job answering our questions and helping us reach our goals for each session.  We’d recommend Nina in a heartbeat!  - Camilo & Julie (Vancouver)

Nina could teach a robot to dance. She’s a pleasure to watch and learn from, and it makes all the difference in the world because class becomes fun and something you look forward to each week. She lays the groundwork for future steps and combinations instead of making you learn set routines that would seem dull and limited. Nina shows you how the steps flow into newer steps, on which you will soon build, and it all begins to make sense. You quickly lose your fear and shyness of dancing as she helps you discover the dancer within.

The Open Hold Bachata course allowed me to do more than the basic steps on the dance floor in only three classes. Thank you Nina!

today was my first class with NINA, and WOW… i love the learning style, intuitive and natural. I have done other courses before where its very technical, with lots of things to remember. With NINA its all from the foundation of balance and weight transfer, from that foundation, the techniques and movements flow naturally. i am no longer asking   “which foot is next” I am very happy to be doing the private and group with NINA.

“I can’t tonight, I have to go to tango,” seems to come out of my mouth a lot in the past few months. And this “having” to go does not come from obligation but from a real desire and excitement to be in class- to learn, to progress and have fun. 

That’s what Nina’s tango classes are for me- a place to grow but also to enjoy myself. No matter what kind of day I’m having, I always look forward to the class.  It takes me away from any stresses in life and gets me to focus on the moment.

Nina teaches strong fundamentals (technique, posture, connection and attention to details) while still emphasizing and bringing out the passion and emotion behind the dance within her students.

I was out tango dancing one night in the U.S and an instructor complimented me on my ability to follow the tricks that he threw at me.  He asked me where I learned to dance. I told him about Nina, and his response was, “She’s done a great job.”

I couldn’t agree more. Thank you Nina for allowing me to feel that connection. I have had the pleasure of enjoying dances with people I have never danced with before because you have taught me to really feel the lead and the music, rather than just to memorize steps.

I have been realizing more and more that tango is not just about a connection to your partner, but also a connection with yourself.  That is not something that is easy to teach.  But Nina is constantly taking workshops (various dance types, business and personal growth), reading books, and learning from the people around her to increase her knowledge and growth as a teacher, but also to better connect with herself. And by sharing these findings and inspiration with her students, she reminds us to continue to connect to our own selves to develop as dancers and individuals. Now that’s the sign of a great teacher! 

There are just not enough ‘thanks’ available, so, for my salsa teacher:

I’m a busy professional with a background in athletics and a dominant left brain (analytical versus creative).  Nina is able to flexibly accommodate my schedule and in class give me analogies that make sense to me; provide me cues and associations in the form of sounds, words, feeling and rhythm that allow me to both learn easily and retain what I’ve learned resulting in progress that’s been extremely satisfying and fun.  Nina is the Yoda of salsa!
