Ilona Rios
Ilona Rios, a professional in Tango Argentino from Monchengladbach, Germany, dances together with Salvador Rios and are well-known Maestros in Latvia – they have been participating in all Tango Sun Festivals since 2008. Besides this they have also been in Riga for different workshop weekends. They are well-known and beloved by our Tango dancers. Tango ladies in Latvia, for sure, will remember women class with Ilona and Gaia Pisauro from one of the previous Tango Sun Festival!
Ilona and Salvador started to dance and teach tango together in 1998. Since 2008 Ilona uses her experience with Alexander-Technique in her tango lessons. It’s all about how to feel more comfortable in their way to dance and also in their body movements.
Ilona started making her first dance steps in Ball-Room dancing, especially for Latin-Dances. Working for years in dancing Schools, she got a lot of pedagogical experience how to teach in a clear and good didactical way. Her teachers were Ruben Terbalca, Gustavo Naveira, Sergio Molini and Gisela Graef Moreno, Eric Mullerand Jeusa Vasconcelos.
The focus of Ilona’s work is teaching a harmonic and elegant Tango style that allows the students to develop a dynamic and creative Tango on the dance floor. (from www.tangosunfestival.lv)
