Tango Argentino private and group class by Jelena

Tango structure, technique, expressiveness, musical identity and dance. Dance communication programs for improving life and tango skills (PokreTTAngo, Stretch-tango, TangoZavrk and ...).

An important part of the dance is belief in the aesthetics and should not be neglected. When we start to feel comfortable with the movement in body and mind, we can focus on the beauty of its external shape for us and then with person with whom we are creating tango story. Changing the phrases and essence of movement and motion can bring great diversity in the dance. Even in the simplest movements. This again enables us to interpret many different music with the awareness of motion optimization and mutual communication.

About Me

I have been dancing since I was 5 years old in verified dance schools from the city of Zagreb.

I've been teaching tango argentino for 20 years. I started teaching tango argentino because I noticed the neglect of congenital factors of it as dance, music and written and spoken words, and as a social phenomenon.

My dance ❤️ is also innovator of dance communication programs for improving life and tango skills (PokreTTAngo, TangoZavrk and ...).

Students are talking about my ability to adapt the idea on innovation way so that students can understand and apply the material in any segment.

Tips on musicality, also offering, accepting, creating idea of the movement and how we can express ourselvesas individuals and in pairs. In this way the dancers tango argentino of all levels should be able to take a certain part of the lesson with them and are encouraged to evolve.

Making an effort to approach each student and couple individually. Having and transmitting a clear idea and changing it in some moments is extremely important.

An important part of the dance is belief in the aesthetics and should not be neglected. When we start to feel comfortable with the movement in body and mind, we can focus on the beauty of its external shape for us and then with person with whom we are creating tango story. Changing the phrases and essence of movement and motion can bring great diversity in the dance. Even in the simplest movements. This again enables us to interpret many different music with the awareness of motion optimization and mutual communication.

Dancers as equals in the couple and they both contribute to the dance equally.

Communication goes both ways. By suggesting, understanding and sharing a movement inspired by each other on the music we are both actively and willingly participating in the creating dance story.

Education

Dancing since a baby in schools of Zagreb and with teachers all over the world in all kind of programs for fyzical and mental being as individual as well as a time in dance .

Carla
Argentinian tango. CAUSE AND EFFECT. Communication in dance as a tool in relationships.
📌It doesn't always take two for things to work... To begin to connect, assimilate and experiment with new KNOWLEDGE, the most IMPORTANT thing is the body, the attitude, perseverance and a great pinch of confidence! I always like to approach the codes of different dance disciplines, based on structures that work on the physical, rhythmic, and creative aspects. There is an idea that Tango is difficult to learn, and of course if we approach it with that label, it will be that way. Starting from the main concept of tango, WALKING, something that we all do most of the time, dancing tTANGO is within everyone's reach.🤗 Another very important point is the way to assimilate and understand it 😉😅 ❤️‍🔥What will the classes be like, you ask? I'll tell you a little bit, we are going to develop the structure in the work of weight changes, the step, projection of the walk, the pivot, understanding the kinesphere individually and as a couple translated into the hug, the turns and the spiral torso to understand the momentum in various exercises, the eights so famous in tango, the basic step and universal exit, walks with the concept of lanes and much more from various sequences that familiarize you with the technical needs to be able to perform the steps without leaving aside the dynamics, pulse, accent and compas of the tango. Everything will be raised in the background in a more organic way. It's not just about learning individual steps, and then...what do we do 🧐? It is not the form that should take the leading role, but the way in which you express that form. We will also let your creative and playful side be part of the process, through a tool that I consider very valuable, which is improvisation 👌 since it allows you to find your own style and recognize your strengths and weaknesses to continue growing in your passion for dance. With all these tools, entering the world of more complex sequences and why not, creating your own, will be one more step and not an impossible challenge to achieve.🤩 Don't forget that the steps that are known today and a large part of the sequences emerged from a restless and creative mind, which explored synonymous with IMPROVISE❗️ Let's go through the process together and hold each other in a hug.

Dante
Argentine Tango Lessons - Individual or in pairs.
Great passionate about the arts of the show, wish to make enjoy the art of the Tango as well to the neophytes as to the initiates. Dancers, choreographers and teachers, they are recognized for their style and interpretation ... As teachers, they try to convey the essence of Tango... The basis of their teaching is listening to each other on music. In tango, steps are important and necessary, but emotions, dialogue, creativity are essential. Their tango classes aim to provide the tools necessary to understand and analyze the movement, to learn how to mark the different fundamental technical elements that define this improvisational dance. (caminata, ochos, sacadas, giros, guide and let yourself be guided...) Discovery and analysis are done through exercises which are explained in a clear and simple way (Mechanics of movement, why and how to make the mark felt by his or her partner)

Violin classes are adapted to all ages, levels and musical styles. Previous experience is not necessary, it is necessary to have the instrument to be able to practice the material of the classes that will be seen dynamically through virtual means, in which we give priority to a good body posture, specific technique to work the works and expressiveness. Reading sheet music is not essential, but it is a resource to be able to cover a lot of musical material.
