Sharna Fabiano has over twenty years of dance experience, the last decade of which has been devoted to the cultural study of Argentine tango. She has been educated in several traditional social dance styles by some of the greatest names in the modern Tango Renaissance, and is regarded as an innovator who has remained connected to the tango's roots while exploring its ever-changing modern aesthetics and vocabulary. Sharna is recognized around the globe for her elegant, powerful dancing and for her expertise in both leading and following roles. Sharna is also credited with pioneering the use of non-Argentine "neotango" music for social tango dancing, and created the website www.neotango.com in 2003 to share musical ideas.

Between 1999-2004, Sharna made five journeys to Buenos Aires to study and absorb the deep culture of tango. She also appears on instructional videos partnering two of today's most well-known Argentine dancers, Mariano "Chicho" Frumboli and Jose Garofalo. Based in Washington, DC, she travels frequently as a guest instructor around North America and Europe, and visited Cuba twice as part of a US-licensed cultural exchangein 2002. Among her most influential teachers she counts Rebecca Shulman, Daniel Trenner, Brigitta Winkler, Pablo Veron, Chicho Frumboli, Gustavo Naveira, and Pedro 'Tete' Rusconi. Her own teaching is characterized by a clear, articulate knowledge of body movement, and by a great depth of understanding of tango improvisation.

In 2003, Sharna joined the internationally acclaimed TangoMujer Dance Company, a group of all-women tango dancers based in NYC, and in 2006 she established Sharna Fabiano Tango Company in Washington, DC. She has performed her work at the prestigious Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, and in NYC, San Francisco, Berlin, Dusseldorf, and Hamburg, Germany, as well as in DC at such prestigious venues as the Kennedy Center, Lisner Auditorium, and Argentine Embassy. Sharna has been interviewed for publications in the Netherlands, Germany, and Czech Republic, and was named to Dance Magazine's "25 To Watch List" for 2008. Her written articles on the depth and mystique of social tango have been widely read and translated into several languages.
