At CR Languages, we take pride in offering language instruction that is enriched by our teachers’ diverse life experiences, and Eva Falxa is a perfect example of that.
A native of Biarritz, France, Eva is an online French instructor at CR Languages who brings a global perspective to her teaching. While her expertise in French language and culture is exceptional, her journey has also taken her beyond the borders of France—most notably to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she discovered and fell in love with tango. This passion for Argentine culture and dance adds a unique depth to her teaching, making her lessons truly one-of-a-kind.
Eva’s love affair with tango began unexpectedly. While traveling in Scotland, she stumbled upon an ad for tango lessons. Without needing a dance partner, she decided to give it a try. What started as a casual experience quickly became a deep passion. Eva felt something new in the tango embrace that other dance styles hadn’t given her. It sparked a journey that would take her far beyond the borders of France.
With her curiosity piqued, Eva traveled to Buenos Aires, originally planning to stay for three months. However, the city’s vibrant tango scene quickly captivated her, and what was supposed to be a short visit turned into an eight-year-long stay. During this time, Eva not only immersed herself in the world of tango but also became a student at the prestigious Centro de Estudios del Tango de Buenos Aires (CETBA). This renowned school offered her a full immersion in tango culture, with classes on dance, history, pedagogy, theater, and more.
Eva describes her time at CETBA as life-changing. “Tango gave meaning to my life,” she says. From performing in milongas to participating in the World Tango Championship, Eva’s dedication to tango continues to grow. In fact, in 2023, she and her partner, Omar Mendoza, reached the semifinals of the championship, dancing on the prestigious stage of the Usina del Arte in Buenos Aires.
Now living in Buenos Aires, Eva remains deeply involved in tango while also sharing her other passion: teaching French. Her journey from France to Argentina gives her a unique perspective in the classroom. She understands firsthand the courage it takes to embrace a new culture and language, and she brings that same empathy and enthusiasm to her French classes at CR Languages. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced learner, Eva’s lessons are enriched with her love for French culture, her vibrant experiences in Buenos Aires, and the infectious energy she brings from tango.
Here is a video of Eva speaking in French about her love for tango.
Eva is more than just an instructor—she’s a living testament to the transformative power of learning. When you take French lessons with her, you’re not just learning a language, you’re diving into a world of culture, adventure, and passion. Eva’s classes are dynamic, inspiring, and infused with the same vitality that has made her a tango star on the Buenos Aires dance floors.
