Clément Lafond

 Clément has enjoyed dance since his youth, everything from disco to social  dance. Ten years ago, he discovered his passion for Argentine tango.
 His initial training began in Vancouver with Susana Domingues. After moving back  to Montreal, Clément continued his intense training, primarily with Bobby  Thompson and Carol Horowitz (Studio Tango Montreal) and with Laura  Steinmander and Paul Montpetit (La Tangueria). He later participated in many workshops given by Mylène Pelletier (Air de Tango) and by Bulent Karabagli and Marika Landry (Tango Fabrika), as well as with Argentinian masters such as Pablo Veron and Thomas Howlin, and a variety of other international guest teachers. Clément has also participated in the 2007 Tango Festival in Barcelona, Spain, and he visited the hometown of tango, Buenos Aires, in December 2008.

For five years, Clément has taught Argentine tango in special workshops, in group class settings and privately. He has performed at special occasions and fundraising events in Montreal, Sherbrooke, Knowlton, Val d’Or and Halifax as well as in Burlington and Brandon, Vermont.

Clément's main goal is to transmit his deep passion for tango to the many students he encounters. He has both a flair for dramatic and playful moves and an elegance and simplicity to his style. For Clément, tango is not just a set of steps; it is the ability to transmit to your partner the right energy to perform those sensual and passionate moves, all synchronized with the music – to nourish the body, mind, and soul!
