About Javier
Javier Rochwarger is a warmly intense and generous talent belonging to Buenos Aires' new generation of tango dancers. Grounded, sensual, and musical, in the past ten years he has traveled throughout the U.S. and in Japan and Spain to teach classes. Javier's fluid and intimate style of dancing defies easy classification. He seamlessly integrates a variety of influences, making his insights valuable whether you consider yourself a devotee of milonguero style or a nuevo tango renegade. Rarer still is his practical understanding of how the body moves and how to communicate complex concepts to students of all levels. As one who has come the long road from novice to professional, Javier has a unique and compassionate perspective. His students praise him for the exceptional personal attention that he provides even in group classes, and for his patience and his warm sense of humor.
