Testimonials

"Studying with Lya allows you to enter a world of self-knowledge and well-being. Her classes combine great technical depth with a unique perception so that, through your strengths, you can consciously improve your relationship with your body."
Rocio L.
Professional Tango Dancer, Buenos Aires, Argentina
"Super exciting and I highly recommend it to all those who, for different reasons, spend a lot of time sitting, and to all dancers who want to deepen their technique and knowledge of the body...(t)hanks to her experience, knowledge of biomechanics, love of teaching and the great desire to help, you get to feel the body more deeply, open it and achieve mobility and strength in postures, which seemed impossible."
Katia S.
Tango Teacher, Kazan, Russian Federation
"I’ve been working on refining my tango balance for many, many years with many different kinds of body work practitioners. My very first lesson with Lya gave me the piece that I didn’t know was missing. She is a master teacher (and I know, because I was one myself) and what she teaches is the cleanest and smoothest tango I’ve ever seen."
Antoinette O.

"Lya is such a gifted and caring teacher! Her deep knowledge of the workings of the body always amazes me. She is very perceptive, and masterfully creates individualized lesson plans to address the unique needs of her students. Her group and private lessons have improved my dancing, and my ability to move with ease and grace. I have become stronger, more grounded and more connected to my body by working with Lya. Highly recommended!"
