Dance Training Tango – Caterina Arzenton

Learn how to transform Tango technique through professional coaching with Dance Training Tango, presented by internationally acclaimed ballroom coach Caterina Arzenton. Instead of focusing on figures and choreography alone, this instructional program demonstrates how a skilled coach analyzes a couple’s dancing, identifies technical weaknesses, and applies practical corrections that lead to stronger movement, partnership, and presentation.

Designed for beginning to intermediate dancers, the course follows a real coaching session featuring Japanese professional dancers Shintaro Masuyama & Yoko Araya. The lesson begins with the couple’s performance before instruction, followed by the judge’s point of view, where Caterina explains the areas requiring improvement. She then works through the key technical elements of posture, lead and follow, body contact, leg action, rotation, and shape, showing how each adjustment contributes to a more authentic and powerful Tango. The program concludes with the couple performing again after the lesson, allowing viewers to clearly see the results of the coaching process.

Born in Italy, Caterina Arzenton achieved international recognition with Augusto Schiavo, winning the British Open Ballroom Championship in 1991 and 1992 before claiming the World Professional Championship in 2000 and the UK Championship in 2001. Today, she is an internationally respected coach who conducts ballroom training camps and seminars around the world.

Ideal for dancers, competitors, and dance teachers alike, this video not only improves personal technique but also demonstrates an effective coaching methodology that instructors can apply when developing their own students.
