TAMARA DI TELLA: “IT TAKES TWO TO TANGOLATES!”

“Madame Pilates”. That’s the way this known journalist and presenter from Buenos Aires is called. A Stanford graduate, Tamara owns the world’s largest chain of Pilates Studios, with more than 50 Studios in nine countries. Here, she shares with us the key to her success in the Pilates world.

What Is The T-DiTella?

The woman who created Tangolates (a fusion of pilates with inspired Tango choreographed movement), can be very controversial when she speaks of the limitations of pilates in that it lacks the cardio element, and that “its moves should be practiced in the exact way that Joseph Pilates did, despite the fact that a century of new research has been performed since then”.

Differences Between Pilates & Tangolates

According to Tamara Di Tella, creator of new and revolutionary concepts such as “socialized gym”, “gym entertainment” and “Transferring Aerobic Motion” the success of pilates is well deserved because, she says, “it is absolutely superb”, but, she adds, “you cannot stop the course of humanity. New things are bound to happen”. Such is life and that is the way history is written”.

What do Tango and Pilates have in common?

Tamara says she feels sad when she goes to big, important gyms and sees the pilates areas half empty. “I think the aerobic element is necessary” she says, and adds: “people go to the gym not only to concentrate in the workout, but also to have fun and burn calories!”

Our clients deserve all the credit!

Her proprietary right T-DiTella Apparatus and Tango choreographed movement sequences are fun and certainly more aerobic than traditional pilates. “Although Tangolates is faithful to the basic principles of pilates”, she says, ”both the apparatus and its revolutionary method will become the spark that could change the face of the pilates industry throughout North America and Europe as well.

Tamara concludes: “Hey, it will not be the first time that a South American-originated trend takes the United States and Europe by storm”.

So what are the differences between Tangolates and Pilates? Simple.  It is performed on a different apparatus, it contributes an aerobic element; the exercises are partner exercises, and it introduces the music and choreography of Tango.

 Very different indeed, and a lot of fun, too!
