Corina de la Rosa

Dancer, choreographer, and tango teacher.

Corina de la Rosa

She was born in 1970 into a tango family, where she grew up listening to tangos. She became acquainted with this dance at the age of 16 as a complement to her training as a dancer, but it was only in 1994 when she met her first teacher, Nestor Ray, and discovered the world of "social tango".

In 1996, she met Julio Balmaceda, who became her partner for 20 years. They were creators and bearers of a unique and innovative style, forming a great duo, a reference in tango dance teaching during the flourishing 90s.

In 1998, they became part of the Broadway cast of “Forever Tango”, for which they were nominated for a Tony Award. They directed several shows, choreographies, and productions, including “Tita - Una vida en tiempo de tango,” awarded the ACE Prize. Corina and Julio shared their tango in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Corina's style and teaching approach grew and evolved over the years, eventually becoming a reference in the world of Tango, which is why she is invited as a judge in international and national competitions.

Since 2007 until the present, in Buenos Aires, she has been leading the Estudio de la Rosa, where she combines the teaching of tango and training with the Gyrotonic method.

Corina is passionate about the study of body movement. She ventured into and trained in various disciplines such as Ballet, Contemporary Dance, Rolfing, Alexander Technique, Nature of Force, Gyrotonic, and Gyrokinesis. This search allowed her to develop a teaching technique that helps people find pleasure and harmony in dance through conscious and healing movement; primarily focusing on those who approach tango without a body trained for dance and on professional dancers who want to dance without injuring themselves and, at the same time, find a personal and organic way to dance and express themselves.

In 2024, she created Inspiring Tango, a training program (in-person and online) designed for professional dancers, tango teachers, and individuals who, without aiming to teach, want to deepen their learning. Inspiring Tango offers in its classes all the paths that Corina has traveled to train herself.

Tango is the expression, the chosen language, but the body is worked through different somatic techniques and movement that awaken the possibilities of each person who encounters them, showing doors or paths for students to continue participating and finding their own way, their tango, and how to teach it.

Amplify and share knowledge, understanding that we are all part of the same and that exchange is evolution. Deconstruct tango without losing its essence and history, thus building a new way of approaching it, more in line with the times and the needs we live. Value the embrace as a meeting, the act of being together, and in community. This is the essence of Inspiring Tango, inspiring to create, to learn, to dance, to share, and to transmit everything experienced.
