Natasha Lewinger & Haris Mihail – Tango

Natasha Lewinger and Haris Mihail both started their tango in 2007 and their paths crossed at the beginning of 2016. They both love social dancing and especially the milonguero style. In their dance and in their classes, they value the connection, the musicality, dynamics, elegance and the necessary technical fundamentals.

Natasha and Haris are among the newcomerstars of the tango scene and we are happy to have them on board again.

Natasha is from Montevideo (Uruguay), the grace of her dance, her never-ending legs and her embrace are legendary.

Aurelie Lafond & Julian Hahn - Tango

We use Julian's experience as a teacher in DNI Buenos Aires and member of the DNI company to share with you the tango that we most love to dance: connected and musical. After 4 years of living in Buenos Aires we moved to Berlin, where we teach and dance together. We speak English, German, Spanish and French!

Our teaching is based on:

  • natural movements, using the biomechanics of the body so that you can dance  with comfort and enjoyment.
  • listening closely to your partner and working deeply with connection so that you give your partner the opportunity to fully express themselves.
  • appreciating and understanding tango music so that you can play with the music and truly enjoy your tandas

Our goal is to give you all the tools you need to dance in the milonga.

Rodrigo Fonti – Tango

Rodrigo is a young, creative, funny and passionate tango dancer, born in southern Argentina. His modern milonguero spirit and his knowledge in contemporary dance, gives his dance style freshness, speed and density.
Rodrigo has worked at countless festivals. His constant research into the art of movement and the language of tango has led him to a mixture of traditional and modern tango.
 
"In my classes I try to teach tools so that everyone can give their own movement a real meaning. I want to encourage you to use the different dynamics and intensity as a way to shape the moment. So everyone can find his personal style in which he feels comfortable and free. I am passionate about showing you ways to dance and connect with your partner so that you can experience unique and magical moments.

Candela Ramos – Tango

Candela will teach together with Mariano Quiroz and Eva Yufra, we are looking forward to new impulses of this trio.

What I offer are principals that are useful for understanding body language. Communication is the key to experience a shared physical freedom into the dance. I'll provide you with tools for an easier dialogue in between the couple and within yourself.

I am inspired by science. I am inquisitive and scientifically oriented, rather than professing “a correct way” to dance. I use physics, anatomy, physiology and biomechanics to explain our bodies’ natural dynamics. This allows you to gain a better understanding of your body and how to use it. I encourage you to listen to your body, to be attuned to the feedback

Andrea Gasperini „el Popùl Castello“ (Tango)

Andrea is from Bologna in Italy.  He began to dance Tango in 1998 and has been teaching since 2002.  He is the co-director of the 'Puro Tango' school, which is one of the most dynamic Tango academies in Northern Italy. Andrea is also a DJ who travels to numerous festivals in Europe and has DJes in some of the most prestigious milongas in Buenos Aires also such as Salon Canning.

"I offer workshops and seminars to dancers focused on the rhythmic reading of the different styles of Tango, Milonga and Vals music to accompany every type with the right style of dancing."

Andrea dances an elegant Milonguerostyl and he shines in a refined and varied repertoire of movement. When he is teaching he is very clear and precise, the fun is not neglected. One evening Andrea will inspire us as a DJ.

Katharina Meier & Ulrich Struhk – Tango

Katharina and Ulrich have been working together as a tango couple since 2006. They offer regular classes in Berlin. They also organize alternative and low-budget tango vacations and festivals in Germany and other European countries.

Katharina and Ulrich are not that much interested in teaching ambitious sequences of steps. Rather, they focus on the idea of leading and following. Their concept is to extract from leading and following techniques the sheer endless possibilities of this exciting dance with all its creative potential. In their classes, they take a great effort in exploring the specific talents and needs of each individual learner. Katharina and Ulrich have a reputation of creating an atmospherre in their classes that is warm and laid-back and yet enthusiastic and full of commitment.

Katharina acquired the technical basis during her long stays abroad, e.g. during her lessons in Colombia, which were influenced by "Los Dinzel", as well as especially during regular stays abroad and countless lessons in Buenos Aires, especially in the studio DNI and Tango Brujo, ....

Rieke Rosenfeld – Feldenkrais

Since 2008 Rieke is working as a Feldenkrais teacher. While she was learning the Feldenkraismethod she got to know the tango. Fascinated by how the Feldenkrais methods helped to develop her own dance she quickly felt the desire to teach these methods to other Tango dancers.

Feldenkrais is an excellent method to improve the feeling and perception of our own body. Motion relationships develop from the inside out and the body discovers intuitively new ways of moving lightly and fluidly.

For Rieke, it is important to learn with joy and ease and teach. We learn as we pursue goals without effort and doggedness and promote awareness of our own body and our partners. For the tango, this means a light, flowing and playful use of the dance and its own movement.

Cornelia Schulz – Spiral muscle training & massage

Cornelia is a nourishing therapist and has taught spiral muscle training for several years. In the year 2014, she discovered the tango and realized very quickly that in the spiral muscle training many body regions are addressed and movement sequences are trained, which are important in tango. For the erection, a stable body center and stability on one leg we use for the construction, or the training of the spirals muscles.

The training supports our anatomically functional movements according to the spiral dynamics. Strengthened, stretched and relaxed are precisely the muscle groups that we need for efficiency in movement - while walking and dancing. Thus our diagonal muscle chain remains elastic from the feet to:

DJs and DJanes Orta

For the tango café during the day and the daily milongas at night, we invite experienced DJs who keep us in the flow of dance with their feeling for the respective mood and who should leave no wishes unfulfilled with a varied programme. Indoors it is mostly classical, outdoors in the dance tent colourful and mixed from classical to electro to modern.

After the last tanda, it is not uncommon to have a small afterparty and all those who don't want to go to bed dance until the sun rises.
