TEACHERS

Laura Priori & Andreas von Maxen, Berlin

Laura and Andreas are living and teaching Tango in Berlin (www.tangotanzenmachtschoen.de). They are dancing “Tango de Salon” in a very musical way, playing with rhythm and melody, creating an authentic tango-atmosphere. In their classes they put the focus on a comfortable joyful dance with a delightful contact in the embrace, which gives room to various improvisations, away from the mere memorizing of steps.
