Tango Nuevo provides a new dimension to tango!
New Open Classes are scheduled from September 2026. Stay tuned!
GENERAL INFO
TANGO NUEVO is a dance style which has been developing since the 90s in reaction to new tendencies in tango music and searching for freedom in movement. It is characterised by more relaxed embrace and, as a result, increased movement extension and creativity. Embrace and distance in the couple are variable and so is the axis of both dancers which provides new space for expression.
Having said that, TANGO NUEVO is not a new dance! It is based on tango technique and division of roles in the couple (leader - follower). It provides a new space and movement dimension to tango which has never stopped developing and changing.
COURSE CONTENT

Students are introduced to basic principles of Tango Nuevo as changing of close and open embrace, elasticity, creativity and playing with axis.

LECTURERS
The courses are lead by JAN and YULIA, experienced lecturers with more than 20 years of dancing and teaching practice. As a dance couple they have firm roots in traditional tango which they like to alternate with nuevo style. They both studied with famous dancers in Europe and in Buenos Aires. And they keep studying even now because they see tango as a "neverending journey".
LOOKING FORWARD TO DANCING AND EXPLORING WITH YOU!
HONZA AND YULIA
