JONATHAN YAMAUCHI AND OLIVIA LEVITT

"Experience the Feeling"

Jonathan and Olivia, Argentine tango instructors, teach an advanced level of body mechanics movement and control.

Whether beginning or advanced, students of Jonathan and Olivia receive contemporaneous instruction focusing on detailed technique, perfecting the tango walk (from which all tango moves originate) breathing, pauses and the intimate close embrace in the salon milonguero apilado style with particular detail to internal and external nuances not perceptible to the third party observer.

About Us

Jonathan and Olivia teach you these nuances and transform your tango into an aesthetic level that is beautiful, sensual and intimate. Gavito said: "You can't teach the feeling". Jonathan and Olivia teach you the technique that will give you the key to experience the feeling of being in another euphoric dimension while dancing even the most complex movements in tango. Study with Jonathan and Olivia and learn the technique behind their intimate close embrace tango. Experience a beautiful level of tango that you may not have previously imagined was possible.
