Mariposita is a very well organized tango place in BsAs, it include tango classes, boutique hotel and organizes events. It's created by Carolina Bonaventura who's a very experienced dancer in shows and is technically very strong. She is now partnering with Francisco Forquera who was previously with Natalia Hills in USA.

What attracted me to her class was her ladies technique class on Youtube.

It seems not that difficult in the video, but when i went to her advance ladies technique class, woooo ... it's very difficult~! ... every exercises challenges your balance, your strength of muscle to get up on one leg after falling down, the support of your ankles to rise on one foot while the other is doing a lot other things, and your ability to stay in axis after turns, you have to power of all your body follow her beat which is very fast sometimes ... really difficult. But i'm very glad to have taken her classes and found out that the system of her tecnica para mujeres is quite similar to what i've been doing in my ladies technique class, just much more tough ... I strongly recommend girls go to take her classes regularly if you are in BsAs.
