The Tangoflex® Method
The Tangoflex Method, created by Victoria, is an interdisciplinary system that works the body through the application of techniques used in gymnastics, fitness, ballet and tango using a scientific approach. The techniques used in the Tangoflex Method is the result of over two decades of research, study, practice & teaching and is based on three foundational pillars: Strength, Balance and Flexibility that work together and are interconnected with the purpose of creating positive, powerful connections within the body and mind.
Strength focuses on core engagement and the ability to create movement through intention, initiated via neuromuscular connections.
Balance focuses on neuromotor engagement of the body, proper posture and body alignment to keep the body in equilibrium and stabilized.
Flexibility focuses on preparing the body both internally and externally to allow extensions for greater range of motion, lengthening of the muscles and fascia, thus creating a longer, leaner and powerful body.
As a result, the neuromuscular approach of the Tangoflex Method is unique in helping you achieve healthier, powerful patterns within the body, improving quality of movement, coordination and quality of life.
At the heart of the TANGOFLEX® Method is Victoria’s expertise, the exquisite elegance, flexibility, balance, strength and power that is the essence of the program and is geared to improving both dance and life.
Victoria started ballet at the age of 3 and was a competitive gymnast for over 12 years in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is the Director and owner of the Tampa Tango Argentino Dance School in Tampa, FL founded in 2005.
