Learn "Milonguero style" tango.
Private lessons as well as group instructions offered.
The well defined identity and strong character of the tango is well known around the world today. I want my students to get acquainted with these two aspects of the tango from the very start. I want every student to learn how to perform and express the heart and soul of the tango.
The tango requires clarity and awareness of the dancer in every movement.
I teach my tango dancers to dance with total focus and to challenge themselves in making the most of every single step and charge it with total presence.
As a teacher/instructor I always strive to be clear, objective, demanding and helpful. I strongly believe that correct and constant practise results in increasing skills. My students are always asked to work with and develop the basics of the tango and at the same time develop body control and awareness.
Constant practise will result in greater depth and a more mature �tango expression�.
I also believe that it is essential to develop the ability to listen, appreciate and interpret the music as a key and guide line to all dance movements. The intimate connection between music and tango movments is therefore a focus area for me and my students. That way every dancer learns how to take care of and explore the unique character of the tango.
Carlos Zelada about the spirit of the tango:
The tango is /re-/born when you meet a dance partner on the floor . There is a very clear basic structure in the tango but at the same time improvisation is at the heart of the matter. Each tango is therefore unique and can hardly be repeated.
Tango dancing brings me energy, joy and well-being in a way I haven�t come across before. I believe it has something to do with the combination of close physical contact and the strongly mutual creative process.
