It was Argentine Tango’s raw honesty that first attracted Anaïs and has not let
go since. Tango runs the gamut of human emotion from poignant sadness to
delirious joy, from possessive jealousy to mind-numbing love. It encompasses
everything that cannot be expressed with words. This passion for life and dance
is in Anaïs’s every class and every performance.
Anaïs's dance career began early on with rigorous ballet training. Anaïs was New
York City Ballet's youngest soloist with roles specifically choreographed for her in
Don Quixote and Les Sylphides. Two years later, Anaïs was made a soloist with
the Metropolitan Opera Ballet Company. After leaving the world of professional
ballet, Anaïs has been in demand as an instructor and choreographer.
Anaïs was trained by Guillermina Quiroga, Jorge Torres, and Carlos Cañedo - founder of The Tango Company with whom she has taught and performed throughout the United States. Anaïs has also taught tango to a nationwide
audience on NBC's LX New York. She is currently the director of Argentine Tango program at Piel Canela Dance Company and continues performing and teaching at several of New York's prestigious milongas.
