Liza Rosales (earlier Lebedeva) is a multidisciplinary and multi-cultural if not to say multi-national dancer. She was born in Moscow, Russia and started her dancing carrier at the age of 6, with ballet and ballroom dancing. Fate or sircumstances has planned for her to spend most of her life outside her counry. In 2001 she moved with her family to Denmark, where she continued dancing and very soon was chosen to represent the country at the World and European championships. As the winner of various gold medals at international competitions, she has travelled the world teaching and performing on stage and in tv-programmes. Then during 2008-2009 she lived in Rome, Italy, after which she moved back to Denmark. After a profound exploration within the different disciplines as ballet, ballroom, tango, salsa, zouk and contemporary, she at the age of 21 has chosen tango as her life carrier and in 2012 moved to Buenos Aires where she met Juan Manuel (her future partner and husband).

 

Liza was trained by the best maestros en Buenos Aires, and soon formed part of a tango dance-company directed by Daniel Juarez and Alejandra Armenti "Corporacion tango", performing in "Vibraciones del Alma" together with Juan Manuel. Alongside with that, she was teaching in the ¨Tango&Tango¨ dance school. In May 2013 started their tour to China, which after that turned into a 6 month residence. And finally in November 2013 Liza for the first time in many years ended up in her hometown - Moscow, working in Arcetango Academia under the direction of Sebastian Arce. In February 2013 she and Juan Manuel Rosales got married and setteled the base in Moscow.

 

After so much time living in different countries the question of nationality or belonging is quite confusing. Liza considers herself ¨una rusa porteña¨ (a russian citizen of Buenos Aires) and carries both Argentinean, Danish, a bit of Italian and Russian culture. For Liza tango is an international language, which can be anderstood by anyone. There is nothing as pleasant as sharing a tango-embrace with complete strangers, feeling how this dance unites people of different ages, nationalities, races and cultural backgrouds.
