Céline Tiberghien as
Edith
Céline Tiberghien is a tango teacher and theatrical coach. She met tango at the same time she encountered love. This love vanished while tango stayed, offering her perspectives and discoveries that made sense from the very first steps.
Beyond the pleasure of dance and movement, tango initiates a perfect way towards a deeper knowledge of ourselves and of our relationships with others. The search of a connection, working on the axis, self-anchorage, the lightness and capacity of expressing our entire being are the main concepts that Céline works around with tango. Her transmission is strongly influenced by those revealers as well as the individuals who practice it. In her vision, there are as many tangos as there are tango dancers.
Celine’s 4 key dates

Nancy Lavoie
Nancy gained access to Tango Argentino through the music. Her education brought her to Buenos Aires where she learned from the Tango teachers of the „Golden Era“ – Pepito Avellaneda, Pupy Castillo and Carlos Gavito – and from the representatives of Tango Nuevo – Pablo Inza, Pablo Veron and Maurizio Castro. In 1995, Nancy founded „L' Avenue Tango“, the first Tango school in Quebec. Besides teaching, she works on numerous performances, solo and with her troupe. Her refreshing and joyful way of teaching is very inspiring and catching.
