Welcome to the discovery tab, the time to tell you a little more about my background and why you should come and practise Argentine Tango.
It's quite a complex passage because who knows how to put themselves forward without appearing egocentric 😂😂 ( I'm joking of course ).
So I'm Leslie Folcarelli, Aries ascendant Pisces, a young woman with a passion for life in general, very enthusiastic and full of energy.
Originally from Paris, I've been living in Nice for 5 years now, where I teach Argentine Tango and organise events, while continuing to travel around Europe to give workshops and make performances and of course enjoy the life of a Milonguera.
I grew up in a family with artistic souls, my father was a guitarist with a passion for foreign languages and drawing, and my mother loved dancing and singing.
I discovered Argentine tango at the age of 17 when I accompanied my grandmother to a Sunday afternoon dance.
As soon as I heard this bewitching, rich and powerful music, I literally fell in love with it, but it wasn't until much later that I took my first steps in tango.
From that moment on, I saw this opportunity as a gift of life and I have dedicated the last 8 years of my life to it (see My experiences Tab ).
As you will have realised, Tango is much more than my job, it's my passion and I'm passionate about passing on the values of thos beautiful dance, which combines Technique, Elegance,
Sensuality , Sharing, Communication, Listening and Connection between two people.
For me, tango is a rich discussion that builds as the notes are played, through mutual listening and the creativity of the two dancers.
In my teaching, I teach women/followers to gain self-confidence, to connect with their feelings, to be independent in order to embellish their dance and interpret the music with their body as well as with the sensations of the guidance while applying the technique.
I teach them to dare, to create and to listen to their partner while listening to the music to find well-being.
My aim is to help them realise their potential and reveal the dancers in them.
As for the men/leaders, I teach them to connect and listen to their partner, to open up the fields of possibility to dare and allow themselves a flowery musical reading, I teach them to give the intention to the other and to be precise in their guidance while remaining in an accompaniment without forgetting technique and posture.
