La Alemana Bio
La Alemana
Many may know her as “La Alemana”, which distinctly describes her origin. She has loved to dance all of her life, and has had training in ballroom, jazz, ballet, rock-n-roll/swing dancing, as well as many of the latin style dances.
Tanja was introduced to the world of salsa in 2005, and has pursued her career within the salsa sector ever since.
She received much of her basic training with her previous dance partner, Nery Garcia; but quickly learned how to apply her previous knowledge and training into this new dance.
Tanja has been instructing students across the world since 2006, and is known for her infectious energy within the classroom. She was also part owner of one of the top salsa dance companies in Fort Myers, FL.
She is known for having an incredible following ability, as well as being one of the best female leads to date.
While having a passion for salsa, Tanja also developed a strong passion for bachata. Tanja along with her partner, Jorge Burgos (aka Ataca Jorgie), have been teaching bachata & salsa workshops and performing together since 2008.
Their dream is to share their passion for salsa and bachata with dancers all across the world.

Hallo Tanja!
Wie du tanzt – ich habe gerade hier das Video bei youtube zu “Te Extrano” laufen – das ist ja der Wahnsinn! Ganz heiß! Dass sich dein Tanzpartner an dir nicht die Finger verbrennt, wundert mich.
Grüße aus Berlin
Wolfgang

I found you guys on You Tube by searching ‘bachata’. I love Bachata music and wish I could dance bachata. I even considered taking lessons. I wish you guys were in Chicago. That is where I am now. If you know of anyone in Great Lakes, IL preferably, let me know. You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work! =)

I was introduced into one of your video’s today and I was blown away. Raised in a home with music as our roots I have to say you danced with so much grace and elegance. Girl you rocked that crowd, lol, jorge is amazing how he leads. You two make a gorgeous team. Wish you were in Ocala would LOVE to see you both perform live. Dance is something that runs in my blood, haven’t really danced for about 2-3 years now and boy I miss it! Thank you for sharing your talent with us keep it going. Stay light on your feet (both of you) It was a pleasure to watch..
