This dance had everything: an introduction, main section, and a conclusion. And not just any conclusion, but a moment where I expressed myself in a completely new way-freely-while hearing my girls cheering in the background: “Miaaa!” 🥹

I wish everyone’s friends are like mine. 🥰

Thank you for this beautiful dance @azaelbachatafever ❤️ taken in New York Marriott Marquis by @mia.baila

Movement has always been my way back to myself.

As a child, and later as a very shy girl and young woman, movement gave me a space where I didn’t have to explain myself. I could simply be. Every dance, every practice, every new way of exploring my body deepened the relationship I have with myself.

That is why I will always be grateful to my parents for recognizing that I needed a dance floor. They didn’t just give me a hobby, they gave me a place where I could build peace, safety, and freedom within myself.

I often like to say, “A healthy body creates a healthy mind.” But today I also believe the opposite is true: a healthy mind gives rise to a healthy body. The relationship goes both ways - each nourishes the other.

This is the journey I want to share with you. Not because of perfect movements, but because of everything movement has taught me about life and about myself. taken in South Pointe Park by @mia.baila

People often ask me:

“Why is tango so special?”

And I always think:

The only way not to know is if you’ve never danced it.

What you see here is not a performance.

No grand movements.
No need to impress.

Just two people dancing, listening, playing, creating something in the moment.

That is what makes tango different.

Tango asks you to feel yourself before you can truly feel another.

The moment you lose connection with yourself, it shows in the dance. The moment you lose connection with your partner, it shows too.

As both a dancer and a therapist, this is why I love tango so much. It teaches the same thing life does:

Come back to yourself.

After years of dancing, you always return to the basics.
The fundamentals.
The foundation.

Just like in life.

Because without a strong foundation, nothing lasting can be built. Tango isn’t about performing for others.

It’s about feeling yourself.

And from that place, truly meeting another. ❤️

Another one of my ways of expressing myself. ✨

Recorded a long time ago, posted now.

Definitely not a movement style that comes naturally to me or something I do perfectly - but maybe that’s the point.

For me, dance has never only been about being good at something. It’s a way of getting to know myself through different forms, different movements, different parts of me.

Sometimes growth looks like allowing yourself to be a beginner again. To move awkwardly. To explore. To meet yourself in a new way. 🤍 taken in Miami, Florida by @mia.baila

When you are on the beach, inspiration comes easily and then you create a dance that expresses a moment you’re in.

This song I love and this moment was captured in 2024. But I felt like sharing it now 🥰 taken in Marathon Key, Florida Keys by @mia.baila

Am I here to feel or to perform? 🎭✨
This is the question I keep returning to on the dance floor.

This is my very first post on this new page - and it’s with one of my biggest inspirations in dance. What you don’t see here is the little girl from a tiny country called Montenegro, who once dreamed of moments like this. And now… she’s here. Not chasing applause, but feeling every beat, every breath, every step.

I dance to connect.
To feel.
To enjoy.
And yes, sometimes to shine - but only if my body is fully present.

To all social dancers out there:
Before the performance… feel.
Before the styling… connect.
Before being seen… see your partner.

That’s what I’ve noticed so often missing - the moment of true presence between two bodies moving together just to enjoy, not to impress.

This is your reminder: Come back to the feeling.
That’s where the magic lives. 💫
