The American Tango Institute (ATI) is a non-​profit 501©3 organization dedicated to developing educational, social and therapeutic programs and activities based on Argentine tango. Our programs are designed to introduce the elements of tango that can enhance the human body by strengthening the core, and enrich the human spirit by inviting dancers to express and share profound human emotions with others. Argentine tango invites dancers to experience the connection of the energy of body and mind, and to interpret the music and communicate their emotions to their partner.

Netza R.

Business Owner

Netza has developed a creative and innovative teaching method that provides dancers with the basic techniques for interpreting their feelings through different tango rhythms. He has studied psycho-​motor skill development, rhythm and movement, psychosocial development of the human body, physical conditioning and plyometric methodology for human body performance and development.

He began teaching the concept of integration of body and mind many years ago as a football coach for young athletes in Mexico and was a pioneer in introducing ballet exercises as a part of his athletic training program.

Combining his knowledge and experience in athletic training with movement and rhythm techniques, Netza has guided his tango students in discovering other facets of their projection and body coordination. Profound belief in the ability of tango to enhance the human spirit and improve lives led Netza to create a variety of educational and health programs based on dance and movement techniques
