Fayzah has been dancing Tango extensively since she was a teenager, and was the first partner of notable dancer, Homer Ladas. Since then she has danced, taught, and performed worldwide. In 2003 Fayzah co-founded Tango Puerto Rico and taught Tango classes in Santurce. Throughout the years she has studied with many renowned instructors, including Diego Di Falco, Geraldine Rojas, Quillermina Quiroga, Chicho, Horacio Godoy, & Jorge Torres. In Buenos Aires, she also studied Tango Escenario (Stage Tango), as well as Salon, Valz, and Milonga styles.

 

 

Fayzah’s grandfather was Argentine, and through listening to tango music she feels a connection to some of her ancestors. While living in NYC, Fayzah developed her own solo tango fusion, combining elements of dance styles from North Africa, Arabia, India, & Spanish Flamenco, with Argentine Tango. She was invited to perform and teach workshops at Triangulo Studio for Argentine Tango, after taking her performance on tour in the United States and Canada. Teaching credits also include being on staff at Dardo Galleto Studios & teaching at the San Francisco Tango exchange. Fayzah has performed Tango with Neville Dance Theater Company, at the gala for the Newark Symphony, and at various theater shows and events. In 2015 she was invited to dance with Tango For All Dance Company. While living in NYC, Fayzah also ran an event called El Metejón, where she taught Tango classes, DJ’d, and held practicas and milonguitas.

 

During time spent living in Puerto Rico and Colombia, and traveling throughout Cuba, Fayzah refined her Salsa Dance Style, and deepened her skills and education in Afro-Latin based dance.
