About Brigitta:
Brigitta is one of the world's most praised teachers and innovative dancers of tango. Her exquisite creativity, clarity and understanding of the dance and music have inspired dancers around the world. Brigitta co-founded the highly respected Tanzart studio in Berlin in 1987, and also the internationally acclaimed Tango Mujer, a pioneer dance company exploring the boundaries between tango and contemporary dance.
Brigitta Winkler lives in New York and Berlin. After encountering Argentine tango in 1980, Brigitta´s studied with masters in Buenos Aires including Juan Carlos Copes, Antonio Todaro, Pepito Avellaneda, Gustavo Naveira, and Eduardo Arquimbau .
She is a frequent guest teacher at Dance Manhattan, and incorporates into her interpretation of tango her training in Body Mind Centering, which she studied in a four year program with Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen. With over twenty years of experience teaching and performing tango around the globe, she is one of the most inspiring and innovative artists in the tango world today. Brigitta is an equally gifted resource for both close embrace and open style tango. Her classes are insightful, creative, and fun!
