🌺 About Eleonora;
Eleonora Kalganova is a dance artist and teacher who focuses on exploring improvisation, flow, and communication as process and performance in Argentine tango ( since 2009 )
Growing up in post-Soviet Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Eleonora has been fortunate to extensively study, from an early age, many different and unique forms of dance: folk, ballroom, character, historic, ballet and modern. This combination — the remarkable and rare educational experience — formed Eleonora as a very special and distinct dance artist, tango dancer and improvisor.
After successfully completing 9 years of rigorous study, Eleonora graduated from the State Dance Academy in Tashkent and became a principal dancer with the prestigious Alisher Navoi Theater of Opera and Ballet. As a professional dancer, she gained a solid understanding of movement, anatomy, music, performance and dance composition.
With time, Eleonora became increasingly fascinated and involved with the social aspects of Argentine tango. After years of study, with intelligence, passion, professional dedication, and her unique dance background, Eleonora started to develop a one-of-a-kind Flow style of Argentine tango.
The joining of many disciplines and influences allows Eleonora to create and develop her own particular and unmistakable style of dancing and pedagogy. Breaking from rigidity of steps and memorization, Eleonora encourages students to develop improvisational skills through simple and dynamic techniques, achieve relaxed and released style, and most importantly, find new and liberating ways of relating, expressing, and communicating non-verbally with others. A generous, sensitive, and kind teacher, Eleonora finds the special “keys” in every student.
Eleonora lives the United States (New Jersey). She travels extensively nationally and internationally, performing and conducting workshops. She continues to be a student of life and tango.
Her Concept:
My mission is to improve my skills every single day, find a new concept, which will make us, me and my students, embrace and fall in love with tango more and more every time. I want them recognize the high sense of rhythm in order to fulfill every movement and step with the deepest definition.
Nowadays, tango sufficiently "gains momentum". There is opportunity for people to gather huge amount of information from tango coaches, but it is a matter of importance for every person to find out their own way, style and source of impression by taking the warmest pleasure. My concept "tango flow" is to deliver idea of giving the opportunity in developing various ways in the choice of dance.
