An excerpt of the highlights

The detailed program for Brody workshops and supporting program (this was the programm 2019, update for 2021 will follow in 4/2021):

   

Silvana Anfossi – Tango

In 1999 Silvana attended her first courses at Tango Salón, in Bahia Blanca, her hometown, with Ana Benozzi. She took part in various congresses and the World Tango Festival 2004 and 2005. She continued her education with a variety of different teachers and thus gained a deep and extensive methodical and technical knowledge.

Her teachers included the following Jorge Dispari and María del Carmen Romero, Esteban Moreno and Claudia Codega, Javier Rodriguez and Geraldine Rojas, Gustavo Naveira and Gisele Anne, Dana Frígoli and Pablo Villarraza, Nito and Elba, Luciano Brigante and Angeles Chañaha.

Mario de Camillis – Tango

Nach dem Auftritt von Mario gemeinsam mit Silvana Anfossi in Italien 2019 freuen wir uns die beiden auch in Brody 2020 dabei zu haben.

Mario bringt mehr als 17 Jahre internationaler Erfahrung im Argentinischem Tango mit, sei es als Tänzer in Shows, auf der Bühne, oder als Lehrer.

Doppelter Campeon in den Kategorien Milonga und Vals bei der Buenos Aires Metropolitan Championship, Finalist bei der Tango Weltmeisterschaft, und leidenschaftlicher Lehrer - jetzt könnt auch Ihr in den Genuss seiner speziellen Tango-Herangehensweise kommen.

Tänzer und Tango Argentino Lehrer. Von Anfang an waren in seiner künstlerischen und pädagogischen Suche zwei markierte Richtungen zu erkennen. Eine klare Entwicklung des traditionellen Tangos zusammen mit der Suche nach der Verschmelzung von Tanz und Theater. Was ist sein Tango?.... diese Worte versucht er zu erklären.

Mein Tango Was für ein Tango? Die traditionelle natürlich; diejenige, die die Wurzel, die Verbindung und das Vergnügen an jeder Bewegung rettet.

Constantin Rüger & Christiane Rohn – Tango

Tango technique in the service of art: A solid technique, in particular a good posture as a prerequisite for the "fusion" with the dance partner as well as the prevention of bad postures and back problems, are indispensable for Christiane in her lessons. She has been teaching on ice, in school and on the floor for over 15 years.

Constantin is an elegant dancer with a sense for playful details; his dance style is characterized by elements of the classical salon style and modern tango.

Michaela Böttinger & Cristian Miño - Tango

Mika & Cristian sind ein deutsch-argentinisches Paar aus Buenos Aires. Neben traditionele Workshops, geben die beiden seit mehreren Jahren mit viel Erfolg Choreographieseminare für Profis und Amateure in Europa und Buenos Aires.

In ihrem Leben als Tänzer verschiedener Tangokompanien wie Tango Metropolis, Tango Fire und Tango a Tierra haben sie unterschiedliche Arten von Shows und Choreographien kennengelernt und aufgeführt. Daher wissen sie, welche Herausforderungen dich erwarten, wie sie dich sicher durch den Lernprozess führen und dir den Spass an der Sache zeigen können!

Intensiv Choreographie-Seminar: 5 Tage - 10Std (2 Std pro Tag) + Abschlussperformance

Zusammen erarbeiten wir in 10 Stunden eine Gruppenchoreographie, die am Ende des Seminars in der Milonga aufgeführt wird. Tägliches Training, interessante neue Elemente, Gruppengefühl, Herausforderung und Lampenfieber.... 

Agata Czartoryska & Michał Kaczmarek – Tango

They studied with among these Maestros: Alejandra Mantinan, Aonikena Quiroga, Vanessa Villalba, Facundo Pinero, Geraldine Rojas, Ezequiela Paludi, Leandro Palou, Maria Tsiatsiani. Luciana Arregui and Andres Laza Moreno had the greatest influence on their dance in the Tango Salon style and Maestro el Puchu in the Milonguero style.

Her dance is "lindo" and "comodo". (beautiful and comfortable). It is a dialogue, it always happens "here and now". Tango is "dance music". They teach two types of tango: de salon and milonguero, which are based on their own method of transmitting technique and musicality. During the lessons they also offer a large portion of historical and cultural knowledge. Tango theatre performances use various other dance techniques based on the tango scenario.

Louisa von Halle & Armin Marschall – Tango

Louisa and Armin have been working together in the Mala Junta for 2 years and have developed a creative, playful and extremely musical style in their collaboration as a dance couple. In class, they attach particular importance to the great themes of tango: technique, communication and musicality.

They are always interested in the possibility to unfold in dance with joy and openness. Armin's 10 years of experience as a teacher and Louisa's understanding of body and movement through her training as a dance teacher give the lessons structure and depth.

In 2014, Louisa completed a 3-year training as a dance teacher in Hamburg.

Oona Plany & Mahan – Tango

Oona and Mahan have been teaching and dancing together in Berlin since 2014. Their focus is on musicality and an equal and creative exchange between the partners.

They teach with passion, and in addition to dance technique, it is important to them that everyone can find and develop his own expression.

Oona's dance studies and her enthusiasm for body techniques and Mahan's work as composer and musician enrich their teaching methods.
 

Matías Guiñazú – Tango

"Tango was just fun and a hobby for me, which gave me the opportunity to get to know other people, but in the meantime I discovered that Tango was much more than just a pastime for me. So Tango was a new way to be able to express myself, maybe even a kind of gesture language, where one can communicate through certain movements without words and get a response from the dance partner.

I was trained in Buenos Aires by different Tangole teachers, and since 2002 I live in Germany. Already in the past TangoSafaris Matías enthused the participants with his fun and energetic way of dancing and teaching. We are delighted that Matías will be part of the team again and we guarantee you some nice Milongaklasses, which are among his strengths.

Karin Schneider – Tango

Me and Tango: In the beginning of the 80s my father discovered Tango for him. As a teenager he dragged me along but i found the dance rather silly. When I was 18 years old, Tango got hold of me unexpectedly with a vengeance.

Since then I‘ve danced and experimentalized a lot; I took the lead and followed; I trained others and got trained; I did performances, was Dj‘ing, organized events; I lost my joy in it and recovered it again. In all that time many people have come and gone, many styles have come and gone. Something of everything remained with me and shaped my way to dance and to teach.

Zafer Yiğitoğlu – Tango

I am Zafer, born 1975, product designer, a berlin tango dancer and teacher.

As a native of Turkey I started early with folk dances and guitar lessons. In the 80s I practiced Taekwondo and enjoyed guitar lessons with different guitar teachers. In the 90s I participated in the Berlin Conservatory for Turkish Music (BTMK), which influenced me not only musically but also artistically.

From 2000 onwards, my physical activities included Olympic boxing (amateur boxing) in addition to recreational dancing. As a C-licensed boxing trainer and boxer I completed my last official boxing competition at the age of 40. In 2015 I started teaching tango.

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.

Charles Ohene – Salsa

This year again there will be salsa with Charles!

Charles became a dancer and dance teacher in street and jazz dance when he discovered the love of salsa 20 years ago. The first years in Cuban style, then LA style and the last decade then New York style (if the difference interests you come over and ask me :-).
He learned from the heroes of the genre at international salsa congresses and has never lost both the love and the fire for the dance.. 

Dagmar Gerber – Pilates

She has been teaching health sports for 30 years and is a B-Liz. Instructor for Aerobics (DFAV), licensed trainer for Pilates, international licensed Hatha Yoga teacher, back trainer and much more. She also teaches Pilates for Tango dancers, Yogalates (a mixture of Pilates and Yoga flow), stretching.

Already at the age of 6 she started with ballet dance, changed after years to jazz & modern dance, then danced for many years to salsa, until she finally got stuck with argentine tango, her passion, many years ago.

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:

Daniel Meli – Yoga

Christina Mehler – Yoga

As a certified yoga teacher, I mainly teach vinyasa flow yoga and make sure that you are well aligned during the yoga practice.

I teach a very active and energetic yoga and a mindful practice is very important to me.

This also means to arrive at oneself in the here and now, to respect one's own limits and not to compare ourself with others. And of course the fun of movement is in the foreground!
When I am not teaching Yoga I work as a physiotherapist and psychologist.
 

 

Andreas Kohlmann – Percussion

Andreas Kohlmann is living in Berlin and is working as drummer, percussionist, teacher and author. His musical training started as a classical percussionist. After conservatory, he traveled extensively in Latin America and West Africa. Back in Germany he joined an international Rock-Comedy show to tour all over Europe. After settling in Berlin, he works for different productions from dance to theater to variety-shows to his own world-music-trio.

His educational book "Percussion: Africa, Brasil, Cuba" is one of the most sold books on that subject in Germany (more than 15.000 copies sold)

As a clinician, he was invited to teach workshops for major conservatories in Germany and for  SambaSyndrom in Berlin. In the Tangosafari workshop, we will start with basic rhythmic exercises and build litte percussive pieces with this material on easy-to-play instruments (boomwhackers, cajons, small percussion). The workshop is open to any level.

DJs and DJanes Brody

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 will be 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.

Hamburg Tango Trio

The Hamburg Tango Trio – it’s an ensemble of three high-rank musicians of the world of tango. Aneta Pajek is a virtuoso bandoneonist from Poland. Hans-Christian Jaenicke from Hamburg, Germany is a tango-specialized violinist, who recorded amazing music at SONY/BMG. The extraordinary singer Caio Rodriguez comes from Buenos Aires. He also performs as a brilliant guitarist. He is one of the very few tango singers with an authentic tango voice.
