Anchored in the international queer tango community since 2018, she has since interpreted, organized, danced, or assistant taught for queer tango events in Valencia, Paris, Berlin, New York, and Buenos Aires.

Advanced Beginner Series: Patricia Maria
For Patricia Maria, tango is a language that allows communication between bodies, minds, and souls. By using a certain grammar of the body, tango creates a frame that allows each dancer to influence the other in a flowing conversation of complex creativity. As a social dancer and a teacher, Patricia encourages all dancers to invite their inner follower/leader, listener/speaker, giver/receiver to the dialogue--regardless of their roles in life or on the dance floor. As a performer, she invites you to eavesdrop on her next intimate tango conversation. Find Patricia Maria at @patriciamariamoves
