Kara Wenham Bio

Kara has been dancing and teaching Argentine Tango in Argentina and around the world for over 25 years, touring the tango festival circuit throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Some of her favorite festivals include TangoMagia in Amsterdam, the Tarbes Tango Festival, Valentango, and Misterio Tango Festival in Buenos Aires.

As a teacher, Kara has developed a pedagogy designed to empower students by providing tools for solid technique, deep connection, musicality, and improvisation. She builds these concepts step by step, guided by the belief that when something can be explained simply, it can be more effectively transmitted.

Her focus is less on the what of the movement and more on the how and why. Whether in an open or closed embrace, Kara emphasizes maintaining a connection that is sensitive, communicative, and sensual for both leaders and followers.
