Elly Fernandez learned both leading and following from the very beginning of her tango life in 2011 and facilitates learning spaces that transform mystery into mastery of both sides of the embrace.
A lover of the line of dance, she brazenly and impishly seeks to turn a space constraint into a co-created feature – as a result, students gain confidence and competence dancing in small spaces. Elly’s teaching practice is shaped by her background as an innovative public school educator focused on “real world learning”, making the learning process meaningful and full of purpose. She brings that fightin’ Philly spirit to issues of advocacy, belonging, and the prevention and reduction of sexual harm.
