Ricardo Correa

Master Tier Instructor
Specialty: Argentine Tango

Ricardo’s dance journey started in fourth grade, when he conned his way into the state’s children’s folk dancing troupe (ask him for the full story, it’s pretty funny). They toured the state and the country and were the official representatives of the state of Durango in all sorts of events. After that, Ricardo’s attention turned to martial arts. He earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, which he practiced for ten years and which he taught during high school and college.

Ricardo also has experience in other styles of martial arts, wrestling, and classical ballet. Thus, Ricardo possesses a keen understanding of the human body, its movement, and how to connect, read, and react to a partner or an opponent. Ricardo’s experience in dance and martial arts served as an excellent preparation for understanding and teaching Argentine tango; a dance in which connection to our body and our partner’s body are equally important. With his decades of experience as a teacher of tango and martial arts, his experience as a physics professor (Ricardo has a Ph.D in physics), and his love for sharing knowledge, Ricardo has become an expert at helping his students succeed while loving every minute of it.
