Paula Tejeda & Lucas Carrizo 

Paula and Lucas hail from Catamarca in Argentina, and have been dancing since their teens. They decided to leave their home to pursue their tango career in Buenos Aires, where they have reached the highest level of achievement in tango. They were crowned as the 2010 Metropolitan Tango Championship Champions in Tango category and placed as runners up in the Vals category. They were also part of the brilliant Miguel Angel Zotto tango production -- TangoX2, traveling around Italy and Greece. They have also performed and conducted seminars in many cities in Asia, America and Europe.

• Our method

We believe that tango should be taught simultaneously in all its facets:

The communication with the partner, the musicality, the technique, the movements, the logic of the structure, the culture, the history and the social context. All these facets integrate a totality: Tango.

Our method is integral.

• Abrazo

The embrace is the starting point of communication between the two dancers, and that is inevitably in constant search. We believe in the flexibility of it to be functional to the movements we choose to express the music. The choice of movements depends very much on our body training. During the class we perform exercises of technical and musical character, to integrate new movements to our muscular memory.

• Movements and dance structure

As tango is an improvisational dance we need to learn the rules and structures that will help us to express our personality in the dance and in the music.

The structure is the logical part of the tango dance; without structure you cannot build a solid dance. A good solid base helps your level to follow only one direction: the top.

The objective is to build in our body and mind, the technique, structure and philosophy of tango, so that we could use them in our tango path.
