Her strong sensitivity in leading, great creativity in improvisation, and playful musicality, stand out as key elements in her dance. Astrid is also recognized for her skills as a follower, which greatly expand her knowledge and understanding of the dance.
Her exploration of the many styles of tango, from the classical to the experimental, as well as other dance forms like contact improvisation and modern dance, have led her to believe that there is no "one" Tango.
Her teaching is based on awareness and analysis of natural movement in combination with her profound knowledge of technique, structure and most of all the music with to establish a deeper connection between the couple. This creates a constant dialogue between leaders and followers who share in equality the responsibility of listening and responding to each other, based on a strong connection to the music.
