At Cruze Natural, part of our mission is to invite tango couples whose work we deeply respect—artists who have developed a clear method, a distinctive way of dancing, and an essential concept that continues to evolve in their movement. We choose to dance, teach and learn alongside them not because we aim to measure or unify styles, but because their approach invites meaningful contrast. By placing different ways of doing the dance in dialogue, we create an opportunity to learn—not only as students, but also as teachers. We believe it is through this exchange, rooted in curiosity and mutual respect, that understanding deepens and the dance continues to grow.

Since 2019, Giselle Anne and Diana Cruz have been weaving their expertise into a rich, ongoing collaboration focused on the deeper study of tango from the perspective of the woman’s role. Their joint work offers a (other) look into the structure, technique, and rhythm of tango — examining the dance not only from the viewpoint of the follower, but as a way to illuminate the intricate architecture of the tango couple as a whole.

Their classes challenge conventional labels. This is not merely “women’s technique,” nor is it a class about role reversal or embellishments alone. Rather, it is a serious, nuanced inquiry into the mechanics, musicality, and shared language of the dance —analyzed through the lens of the follower's experience. It is about revealing what both roles must understand in order to co-create.

Giselle and Diana deconstruct the tango dialogue, inviting dancers of all roles and genders into a space of greater awareness and precision. Their mission is not to redefine roles, but to study the dance in depth: to articulate what often goes unnamed, and to offer tools that elevate both leader and follower in their shared craft.

Fiona & Nick delve to the core of tango, how do we communicate? From first day to performing, they spend their days helping dancers find their voices. Fiona knows that “to be fond of dancing is a certain step towards falling in love.” She was the president of the CU Tango Club, where she met Nick in 2005. She half-hails from a land of petticoats and pettifogging, England, where she DJed, taught, and organized for visiting teachers. When not dancing, you can find her playing tango violin and Baroque recorder, studying Anthropology, and hosting a radio show on KGNU. Nick Jones is just a “hoofer with a spare set of tails.” These he keeps in the Library for emergencies along with ’78 RPM records and bizarre musical instruments. He started dancing tango in 1996 and playing bandoneon in 2002. He put together a tango quartet, Tangozo, in 2020.
