Avi Win: The Vision Behind Cavikas
From a young age, Avi was captivated by the haunting beauty of Argentine Tango music. He didn’t know why — he just felt it. Years later, when Tango “found him” on the dance floor (quite literally, after a stumble!), something clicked. It wasn’t just a dance — it was a lifeline.
Argentine Tango helped Avi rebuild his relationship with himself, reconnect with others, and rediscover joy. In his words:
“I discovered the healing power of Argentine Tango — and learned JOY.”
Grateful for the transformation he experienced, Avi made it his mission to share this dance with those who need it most. After decades of teaching, he created Tango for Wellness — a program designed to bring the benefits of Tango to people from all walks of life, especially those who may never have stepped into a dance studio.
From cancer survivors to amputees, from seniors to the socially isolated — CAVIKAS welcomes everyone. No fancy steps required. Just a willingness to show up, connect, and maybe — just maybe — fall in love with life again.
About Cavikas
Founded in 2014 — Created with Heart, Grown with Purpose
CAVIKAS was born from one man’s personal transformation — and his deep desire to share that gift with others.
Years later, grateful for this gift, he wished nothing more than to give others the same opportunity and CAVIKAS was born (2014). Avi’s aim was to serve the communities he has lived in, by making the gift of Tango accessible, most particularly, to those who are underserved and least likely to otherwise discover it. Avi tirelessly advocates for happier communities.
What We Teach
Our Approach: Connection Before Choreography
At Cavikas, we don’t start with steps — we start with connection. Before the first move, we focus on trust, posture, and presence. We help students feel safe, grounded, and supported. Because when the connection is real, the dance flows naturally.
Here’s what you can expect in our classes:
- Building trust with your partner (No partner needed to join!)
- Basic walking and balance techniques (Think walking, not dancing)
- Posture and body awareness (Learn how to stand tall and feel your body again)
- Bringing the music into your walk (Discover your own rhythm — no two dancers are the same!)
Whether you’re 18 or 88, whether you have two left feet or no feet at all — there’s a place for you here. Because at Cavikas, we don’t teach dance. We teach joy, healing, and human connection.
Our Mission
To empower individuals of all ages and abilities through the transformative power of Tango. We strive to create inclusive, healing-centered dance experiences that build confidence, foster community, and restore joy—one step at a time.
Our Values
We warmly welcome everyone with open arms, leading with compassion and care. Through dance, we empower inner strength and foster a thriving community, embracing joyful healing that makes us feel truly alive.
Our Vision
To become a global leader in therapeutic dance by making Tango accessible to everyone—regardless of age, background, or physical ability. We envision a world where dance is not just an art, but a path to connection, healing, and self-expression.
