Dr. Julia Kaesmayr has spent over a decade as a tango organizer and musicalizadora de tango, blending 30 years of social dancing with her academic insights to enrich the tango community. With a Ph.D. in psychology, she crafts engaging experiences at milongas, encuentros milongueros, and tango marathons across Europe and North America.
