MAXIMILIANO CRISTIANI

Maximiliano Cristiani is considered one of the great teachers of today, known for his charisma, ability and system to teach. In the last 20 years he has managed to accompany hundreds of students in their professional development, whether in competitions or in their personal dance. His methodology is focused on functionality and not on dance style. He knows, without a doubt, how to discover the greatest potential in each student to find a comfortable dance and discover his own style. He has deeply studied social dance, salon and milonguero style, as well as the tango ¨escenario¨ and has also extracted the wealth of new techniques to apply them to social dance. His intense work does not end in teaching, he has currently made video productions such as ¨TIGRE VIEJO¨, ¨RECUERDO en LA VIRUTA¨, and the lactone short film ¨ANGEL¨, of tango that was first exhibited at the end of 2021.
