Ines
Moussavi
As long as I can remember I love to dance.
Some years I concentrated on Dance-Theatre, Jazzdance and
classical Ballet.
Since 1996 I dance Tango Argentino. It was love at first glance
when I visited my first milonga, the "Roter Salon" in Berlin.
I was impressed by the intimacy, the music and elegant moves.
The next day I subscribed for my first tangolesson, not knowing
that the process of learning and enjoying new possibilities
will never end.
Tango became the most important thing in my life and - lucky
me - even my profession.
Some things that I like to share with my students: relaxed
upright posture, comfortable embrace, feeling for the music,
solid balance and elegance in movements, connection in the
couple and attention for the others dancers, taking care of
the line of dance.

body-techniques like yoga, rolfing, osteopathy, in order to

Sven Froese with Ines

Sven Froese
Sven lives in Düsseldorf and
teaches since over 8 years every week in Bochum and other
cities. Additionally he participates regularly as a teacher
in festivals and balls in Norway, Greece, Scottland and Japan.
The focus of his lessons lies on the modern
Salon-Style. His care for the details of teamwork and leading
are brought to bear here especially. Sven shows how tango
works and teaches what makes this dance so characteristic:
No hysteric execution of step-combinations, but harmonic co-operation
and frisky little details in consonance with the music and
the rythm.
His special turning-technique, which fits
into close and even non-close postures, is one of the special
highlights of his lessons. Without any hustle for "her", stable
posture for "him".
„Tango isn't made for lonely
wolfs. We have to see each other as equal partners, so we
can work together with the music and develop a whole new feeling
of dancing together.…“

Ismael
Ludmann
belongs to a generation of young Argentine dancers. His curiosity
led him to study tango with a great diversity of schools and
teachers in Buenos Aires, always being in search of a dynamical,
improvised and organic tango. Besides from tango he has also
been active in other artistic disciplines as Contact Improvisation,
Eutonia, Butoh and Dance-Theatre. Ismael is searching for
a tango with a particular emphasis on communication, a relaxed
way of dancing, and expressiveness. In addition to Buenos
Aires, he has been active as dancer, teacher and organizer
in Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Scotland, England
and Spain. |

to work with Gustavo Naveira in 2001, and has been studying
with Chicho Frumboli, Eugenia Parilla, and Pablo Inza. The
style she is interested in and trying to develop as well as
promote, is the result of a search: the idea of generating
consciousness of the movement, the systematization of concepts,
as well as a clear and defined pedagogy. She never stops searching
for even more quality and organic movement, as well as warmth,
expressiveness and connection in the dance. Since 1999 she
teaches workshops in Buenos Aires and in Europe on a regular
basis.

techniques; the 2nd part concentrates on dynamical and musical
elements. They use figures as examples to clarify the current

Komala und Stefan

Komala
For over a decade Komala has been teaching
in Europe where she is highly respected. She has a profound
knowledge of the body and of the dynamics of tango. Her follower's
workshops are invaluable to followers who want to know their
bodies better and to become more active in the dance, and
her other workshops deal primarily with the energy and dynamics
of the dance, preparing leaders and followers for a new level
of communication.
Komala started tango dancing in 1990.
She began her professional career by teaching together with
Eric Jorissen, founder of the famous tango center, El Corte,
Nijmegen, The Netherlands. She is currently a main hostess
and teacher of El Corte.
Stefan
Stefan started Tango in May 1997 because
he needed some Tango steps for a chanson he was singing in
a local theatre group :-)
In no time he was completely catched up
by this fascinating dance and could barely finish his preparations
for a black belt in Karate. After achieving his black belt
he very soon realized that he preferred a partner who is not
responding every movement he makes with a punch but with a
soft and gentle movement ;-)
After spending 1 year in Munich dancing
nearly every night he was ready to look for something more
and he found it in another city in another country: Nijmegen
- Holland. There he stopped taking classes for a while and
started dancing - all nights & days long. And there he
learned that there are mainly 3 components which make a Tango
a Tango:
* the partner you're dancing with
* the music you're dancing to
* the other people who are dancing in the same room with you
After this period of 'just dancing' he
started to take lessons again with different Argentinian teachers
- among them Nancy y Damian and Diego 'El Pajaro' y Mecha.
But the most inspiration he got from his work with Eric Jeurissen
& Komala - not only regarding the dance but also the teaching.
The most important thing since then is
for him
'not what you dance but how you dance it'. |

Oliver dances a gentleman's tango: He
leads a traditional salon style that invites followers to
join him on his musical and playful journey from classical
to nuevo tango, and to enrich it with their own interpretations
and adornments. In his well-structured lessons and workshops
Oliver provides his students with intuitive and illustrative
conceptions and actual experiences that help them deepen their
understanding of the music as well as of organic dance technique.

Toine
15 years ago I started to dance tango in El Corte. My whole
life, grewing up in a 'dancing family', I was addicted to
dance, and after many years of dancing ballroom and latin,
I found Tango, or Tango found me. I loved Piazzolla but never
realised, till I saw a Documentary about a visit of two Tangoaddicts
to BAs, that in Holland tango existed in this form.
During the years I took lessons, regular in El Corte, Eric
Jorissens famous place. Took in several places in the world,
classes, workshop, spend weekends, and weeks with several
teachers, many, and as well of course the Argentine Maestros.
Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, Pepito and Suzuki, Teté,
Fabian Salas and Carolina, Gavito, and many others. One of
the couples I like very much, Damian and Nancy, very nice
style and inspiring teachers.
Already more than 10 years ago I started to give classes with
Monique, my regular partner but was asked as guest teacher
with others as well. In many places in Europe we were invited
to teach and perform. More than 10 years I'm with Monique
one of the regular teachers of El Corte in Nijmegen and these
days as well in Flor the Fango in Arnhem.
As educated teacher/ coach, I integrated this skills, together
with bodywork, in tangolessons. Besides being a good teacher,
it's evident that a dancer I give an example with my partners,
elegant, playfull, that makes people want to follow classes.
Í think tango, even when I dance and teach for years
now, I am open for influences, like to take classes myself
for the inspiration of other teachers, and from my point of
view, you might think you're excellent, there is always something
you can work on!
My vision, tango inspires, I like to inspire and I like to
be inspired by the dance and tangopeople! |

Tamara Juhan
Founder of the Tangostudio el abrazo, Hamburg
What I love in tango? – The dialogue of bodies, intimacy
of the embracement; Attentiveness for yourself and the other
person, the elation when an improvised tango worked absolutely
synchron to the music. I was teached by the grande dame of
tango: Graciela González. From her I received the established
technical education to be a dancer and teacher. And from the
Milongueros of Buenos Aires I received the benedictions of
dancing the nights away. How easiness feels and that tango
can be a real dialogue I learned from my collegue Luis Bruni...

Workshops in Germany
• Tango-Trips
• education for tangoteachers
• Tango meets Feldenkrais
• Tango meets Qigong
I dance and teach argentinean tango national and international
for a long time now - leading and following with different
partners and several locations, different foci, from beginner
to tangoteacher.
I know that tango will reveal new variations
constantly, just like the different people who dance tango.
I read a lot about tango, have written
a lot also, thought about it and developed - travelled often
to Buenos Aires and discovered new secrets from time to time,
opportunities and connections. Spanish is music in my ears,
the language of my dreams and like a hot tube on cold winterdays
- and luckily also the language of the tango. I like to move,
love to feel every single fiber of my body and found a dance
in tango which provides room, freedom, easiness and confrontation.
Naturally and wordless.
I am tango teacher with abandon and I
am confident that people can change by their movements.
Neither tango or people ever bored
me at all. |

Erica Freyer
Erica (deutschsprachig) was born in Cordoba, Argentina,
where she's been doing ballet when she was a child. Dancing
became her passion and gave her wings to conquer the sky.
Ballet was the beginning and is still a great relevance
in her career, added by modern Jazz, modern Dance and
especially Tango Argentino from her origin. Among others
she learned from Osvaldo Zotto and Pablo Veron in Buenos
Aires.
For the last 12 years she regularly appears in dance-ensembles
all over Europe, co-produces in the tango-scene and comes
up with her own individual choreographies in different
styles - as there are: "El yo Interior“, "Recuerdo",
"Solo de a dos", „Contratango" (Tango-Ballet), the
multicultural danceshow "Rund um die Welt", "Hommage a
Piazzolla", "Von Dolch zur Federboa" in cooperation with
the Trio Percanta, the Tango-Oper "Maria de Buenos Aires",
in cooperation with the Opera Latinoamericana.
As a teacher in Tango Argentino Erica doesn't focus on
ordinary Tango ABC, like state, walk or axis, but on encouraging
the dancers to establish their own creative expression
by figures and combinations.
Further information and an impressing list of her engagement
of recent years can be found here: divine-dance.de
