THE CREATIVE COUPLE
This class will address the role of both partners in the creation of a fully improvised dance inspired by music. On one hand, we will learn to understand tango as a language using words and a grammar to communicate in an improvised manner by varying some seemingly simple exercises. On the other hand, we will explore the possibilities of how the follower can be active within the framework of what the leader suggests, with the intention of retaining the harmony of the couple. This class is great fun and a challenge to analytical understanding. It will enhance your skills of improvisation and help you develop new movements without memorising steps.

MELINA & DETLEF - stylistically they are at home in the traditional tango de salon as it is danced in Buenos Aires which they interpret in a very personal and modern way. Their dance captivates through its intimate embrace, playful musicality and a sensual interplay of man and woman without cliché or superficial effect. Thus, their tango is newly created in every moment, expressing not just the music but genuine feeling.
