This multi-workshop intensive is designed to deepen your tango—whether you’re polishing fundamentals or expanding your expression. Across the workshops, you’ll explore connection, presence, and quality of movement in partnership, with plenty of time to practice, refine, and play on the dance floor.
Come ready to listen, respond, and let your dance grow under the guidance of two passionate, experienced tango artists who live and breathe this form.
Josefina Stellato
Do you recall the first time that watching a tango performance virtually swept you off your feet?!? That’s the feeling you’ll get watching and learning with Josefina Stellato! The closeness, the confidence, the breath-taking swoops and tantalizing pauses.
Josefina Stellato has been dancing Argentine tango at the highest level for more than two decades. She’s now arrived at Still & Moving Center as our Artist in Residence for about 6 months!
As a performer, Josefina has been a member of renowned choreographer Leonardo Cuello’s tango company at the National University of the Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She’s been a cast member of Social Tango Project for the past decade, performing in multiple theaters in Buenos Aires! In 2023, Josefina participated in the company’s North American tour and performed at Kennedy Center in New York City.
As a teacher, Josefina deepened her understanding of pedagogy under the direction of Dana Frigoli and the DNI Tango school in Buenos Aires, where Josefina served as a senior faculty member. She was also an official member of the DNI Tango Company, where she participated in the live shows “Dos, lo que se disuelve”, “Asimétrico”, “Seres Materiales”; a film version of “Dos”, and “Remueve la piel suspire”, which Josefina created and choreographed.
Josefina has taught and performed at international festivals in Europe and during the pandemic gained a devoted following for her online lessons. Welcome to Still & Moving Center, live and in person, Josefina!
David Palo
With over 20 years of international experience, David Alejandro Palo is one of the few tango teachers with a university-trained pedagogical background. His versatility has positioned him at both ends of the tango spectrum: from world-acclaimed stage productions to the heart of the social dance floor. What bridges these worlds is his deep study of the body, connection, and the subtle architecture that exists between two people when they dance.
