Valerie Kattenfeld

Valerie Kattenfeld is entrenched in Tango, Biodanza and Tantra. The Austrian, living in Buenos Aires, developed the method "Biotango" which explores Tango Argentino with the tools of Biodanza. This means to unleash the possibilities for personal & professional growth that Tango beholds for us and to manifest in the dance what we want to embody in our life. Tango is a mirror. Am I rooted in my axis? Can I lead with clarity and sensitivity? Am I able to listen or do I just wanna show off? Valerie has given Biotango classes in Argentina, the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, Austria and online. After years of working as an award winning choreographer / director / dancer in the performing arts, she ditched production for the artistic process, dedicating herself fully to teaching. Her main aim is to facilitate encounters where people manage to connect with themselves and one another in an authentic, non-judgmental way, express their emotions and give depth to their movement because it makes sense to them. The embrace is the symbolic emblem of all three of her disciplines and stands for her key value: human unity. Valerie appears to be a Tango teacher, but what her work REALLY is about is to promote values such as community, empathy, presence, confidence and pleasure to people. Like Charles Eisenstein she wants to "end the story of separation", replace fear and control with love and trust. She works not only with Tango dancers, but also in a business context and as an online Dance Coach with anyone who wants to invest in their personal transformation.
