It's Time to Start Your Adventures
We offer classes in Argentine Tango and Neurotango® as well as workshops, seminars and retreats.
We are passionate about promoting health and well-being through using the tango tools.
For us, Tango is much more than step technique, it is an opportunity to meet ourselves and with each other. Performance is not the most important part, but to feel pleasure of dancing and being in a relationship, so we want to use the Argentine Tango in a more holistic way.
Argentine Tango
Argentine tango is a music genre and a couple's dance from the early 20th century, which originated in Buenos Aires and Montevideo's immigrant neighborhoods.
At the center of the tango is really a lot of emotion. The varied music provides space to express joy, playfulness, passion, drama and melancholy. Tango is sometimes described as "life in 3 minutes".
Like all dance, Argentine tango does require technique, emotion and interaction, but unlike many other couple dances, certain turns and steps are not so prominent.
Here you learn instead a number of movements and to clearly lead and follow these. Movements can then be improvised based on the music, the atmosphere, what the partner does and how the other dance couples move across the floor.
Tango Nuevo
The term "tango nuevo" (new tango) was first used by Astor Piazzolla to identify his music as combining elements of jazz and classical music with tango music.
When it comes to dance, "tango nuevo" is not an individual dance style but rather a term for everything that has happened to tango since the 1980s. Tango grows, develops, improves, enriches itself, and in that sense we move on to a new dimension of tango dance.
The term "tango nuevo" has come to represent the exploration of the possibilities of movement within tango. Most of the time, movements that have been in tango for many decades are used, but new variations of them are created, especially in their incorporation into sequences, but also in their direction around and between the pair.
Tango Therapy
Tango therapy was developed in Buenos Aires in the late 90's and has since spread to e.g. in Europe and the United States. The Neurotango® concept consist of four main sections: psychological, neurological and physiological applications and finally social/coaching areas.
The techniques of the Argentine tango are tools that apply the results of the latest geriatric, neurological and didactic studies. With these tools you can successfully apply a very individualized and effective method for each target group, e.g. Parkinson's patients.
The methods also include leading and following as well as building social skills.
Specific examples are couple therapy, burnout, integration and inclusion, mental oncology treatments, grief therapy and drug abuse therapy, etc. These tools can also be used in coaching areas such as business coaching, team building and personal development.
Tango Mindfullness
In a time of rapid change at an ever-increasing pace, it is not surprising if you feel stressed, mentally tired, frustrated about everything, job, partner…
More important than the question of who is right or wrong is how we react.
In Mindfulness Tango, we develop awareness for ourselves and peace for our partner. With a reduced technical approach, the focus is on contact, energy flow, breathing and awareness of yourself, your partner and the couple as a unit. Forget complicated step frequencies and dramatic poses. Instead, let yourself be guided by intuition and let the music guide you.
We get to know our patience, tolerance, self-confidence and physical abilities, listening with our body and accepting our own shortcomings and mistakes. We learn to compensate for these imperfections as we begin to correct ourselves and become more sensitive as individuals and dancers.
