Of course our beloved ones, Gabriel Missé & Maru Rifourcat! If you want to learn the most purist and strictly traditional Argentine tango technique you should look no further. Gabriel is candid and passionate about his ‘milonguero’ heritage and he will share his techinque, musical knowledge, anecdotes and so much more. There is nothing to be missed in his classes.
If you want to peek into what younger and more adventurous and eclectic dancers are doing, outside of Buenos Aires, Matias Tripodi is a good example of that. With an educational background in linguistics, Matias created a new approach to dance and to teach tango. Based in Paris, he created an annotation system by which he can depict tango movements. He recently worked as a choreographer for the Opera National du Rhin, where he premiered Maria de Buenos Aires, a tango opera (1968) with music by Astor Piazzolla and libretto by Horacio Ferrer.
