Coming from highly individual backgrounds, we introduce a wide variety to the world of Argentine Tango – challenging the typical clichés, honoring the cultural heritage. Both of us have profoundly studied all styles and traditional approaches to Tango as well as various contemporary dance forms, latin ballroom, different musical instruments and martial arts. With a lot of experience, dedication and commitment, we bring a new understanding of movement into the world of tango.

Show & Performance – The Art of Encounter

In our performances we enjoy the beauty of pure improvisation, though for certain productions and research purposes we have developed various choreographies. In full consequence of our philosophy and movement method, we open ourselves to sharing our emotions being present, honest and receptive. We embody, what we share with the world. Through our dance we invite the audience to open their hearts and join us to perceive a way of humble and honest human encounter in motion.

Every performance will be different. Every moment is inspiration and interpretation. Our dance is interaction. It is emotion. Contact. Feeling. Communication through movement.

We connect to the sources of inspiration. Audience, music, ourselves, our partner – dance is what happens in the moment – the art of encounter in music – vulnerable and honest. Tango. Be part of it. We are looking forward to getting to know you!

Teaching

Our teaching focuses to let you enjoy and profoundly develop a personal connection to the beauty of Argentine Tango. We work in a fusion of the newest health oriented body education, biomechanics from various moving arts and training methods with most actual insights of our own research on energy flows and body communication.

Our goal is for the dancers to feel good and to enjoy improvisation, musicality and equal communication in Tango. The methodology enables anybody to quickly learn, enjoy and improvise Argentine Tango in their own personal way. The students regularly report a strong improvement of body awareness and feeling with their partners, as well as an increase of energy through relaxation and a healthier body alignment.

In the international world of Argentine Tango, we are very grateful for the strong appreciation of our approach to dance. We receive invitations to teach seminars and workshops as well as perform our unique way of dancing Argentine Tango in communities and festivals all around the world.

JUDITA UND FAUSTINO

Judita Zapatero lebt und arbeitet als Tänzerin und Leiterin des Tanzstudios Tango Pop in Stuttgart und Buenos Aires. Als Tangotänzerin (seit 1990) und Choreographin fand sie (gemeinsam mit Enrique Grahl) weltweit Anerkennung und gewann mehrere Preise (Vizeweltmeister in Buenos Aires 2003). Ihre langjährige Erfahrung mit den Elementen der Körperarbeit, des Tanzes und der Kultur des Tango machen sie zu einer didaktisch versierten und gefragten Lehrerin. Judita unterrichtet in deutscher Sprache.

Faustino Blanco hört und liebt Tango seit seiner frühen Kindheit, denn er ist in einer Tanguero-Familie aufgewachsen. Sein Opa war Tangosänger, sein Vater ist Tangosänger, sein Bruder Gitarrist. Ein emotionaler Zugang zur Musik und eine entspannte Verbindung mit dem Partner sind Schwerpunkte in ihrem gemeinsamen Unterricht. Faustino spricht Spanisch und Englisch.

Maria Filali

Maria’s career path is grounded in her desire to built bridges between cultures and multiple forms of expression which inspire her. Raised abroad in several countries, she settled down in France at 18. In 1997, she discovered Argentine tango : it soon turned into her favourite mean of expression. Based in Paris, she followed the Christophe Lambert & Judith Elbaz tango cursus for several years, while taking every opportunity to learn with sound tango professionals and maestros in Paris and Buenos Aires.

Since 2000, she was invited to perform in international shows as well as artistic projects (the Gotan Project Tour, La Revancha del Tango, numerous performances with her tango stage partner Jorge Rodriguez, etc.) Apart from stage tango, Maria leads a successful Salon tango teaching and performing career in Europe, where she is recognized as one of the best tango technique teacher. Working with Mazen Kiwan from 2008 to 2010, she was a leading figure in several International Tango Festivals (Festivals of Varsovia, Beirut, Tangocamp 2009 & 2010…)

Along the years, Maria was asked to work with several tango dancers and teachers who seek her elegance, perfect technique and creativity : master-classes with Jean-Sébastien Rampazzi in Paris (2010-2011), dance residence in Buenos Aires with Germán Salvatierra in 2010, performance with Fausto Carpino along the Silencio Orchestra in Lyon in June 2010. She is currently working with Bruno Noël punctually in Paris, and collaborating with Daniel Carlsson (professional master-classes and workshops in France and Danmark).

Maria never missed a chance to allow the tango to meet with contemporary dance, performing arts, movie making, opera.. Her artistic personality is thus revealed by the show Fleur de Cactus (Cie C. Berbessou) in 2002, the Tango Mon Amour Opera (J. Romano / J. Zulueta) or the Tungetango show (P. A. Glovingen) in 2009. She directed the contemporary tango show À l’ombre d’une sieste,… Vertige (with Yannick Laval), and worked as a choreographer and tango dancing coach for the movie industry (e.g. Bellamy by Claude Chabrol, Coco Chanel by Christian Duguay).

In 2011-2012, she was invited to teach by “La Mariposa” (Italy) in which she officially entered as a member of the teaching crew, along with Julio Balmaceda y Corina de la Rosa, as well as Mariana Montes.

Andrea und Jorge tanzen seit März 2008 zusammen. Sie haben einen Tanzstil entwickelt, der eine Mischung aus Beziehung, Gefühl, Sensibilität, Sanftheit und Leidenschaft für den Tango Argentino mit der Präzision, Technik und Flexibilität des modernen Tanzes darstellt. Ihre Art zu unterrichten beginnt mit dem Verständnis der natürlichen Bewegungen, die sich langsam durch die Musik, die Ästhetik und die Technik in Tanz verwandeln. Die Musikalität ist das wichtigste Element ihres Unterrichtes.

Sabine und Thomas, bekannt unter den Namen SaTho, haben sich über den Tango kennen und lieben gelernt. Ihr gemeinsamer Weg hat 2006 begonnen. Sowohl im Tango Salón als auch im Tango Nuevo entwickeln sie ihren eigenen Tanz- und Unterrichtsstil leidenschaftllich weiter. Workshops und Auftritte finden sowohl im Inland als auch im Ausland statt.

Ihre Workshops und Kurse in denen sich die beiden optimal ergänzen, sind durch hohes Engagement gekennzeichnet. Ihr Unterricht ist sehr verständlich, klar strukturiert und aufbauend. Alle Bewegungsformen und Figuren können auf die grundlegenden Führungs- bzw. Folgetechniken, die Basics, zurückgeführt und verstanden werden. Die Schüler werden in hohem Maße gefördert die Verbindung zum TanzpartnerIn, die eigene Musikalität, den eigen Stil und die eigene Kreativität zu entwickeln und für die Improvisation nützen zu können.

Seit 2008 betreiben die beiden auch eine eigene Milonga in Wien die durch ausergewöhnlich familiäre Stimmung und kompetente Musikauswahl besticht. Bezüglich der Aneignung und Weitergabe von Wissen um die Hintergründe und die Geschichte des Tangos sowohl als Tanz wie auch als Musik, sind die “SaThos” ebenfalls sehr aktiv.

Sabine hat eine lange Entwicklung in ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit Bewegung hinter sich. Angefangen von ihrer internationalen Karriere im Hochleistungssport (Turmspringen) mit späterer Trainertätigkeit bis zum Formationstanz reichen diese Erfahrungen. Aber erst im Tango hat sie das Richtige gefunden.

Thomas Weg ging von der eigenen Auseinandersetzung mit Tanz und Bewegung über die Pädagogik hin zum therapeutischen Bereich und dann zum Tango. Er hat nach einer Zeit der Schauspielausbildung eine Musicalausbildung gemacht, dann Tanzpädagogik studiert. Weiter ging es mit Tanztherapie und Kunsttherapie sowie Psychotherapie. In diesen Bereichen war und ist er nach wie vor neben dem Tango sowohl in der Behandlung als auch als Ausbilder und Supervisor tätig.
