Modern Tango World N° 4 (Bucharest, Romania) | Page 7
My own approach to tango, which I present through
my school Tangopasion, is enriched by my experience with other form of dance and movement.I have
had a consistent experience with a variety of contemporary dance, contact improvisation, 5 Rythms
dance technique, yoga, and Feldenkrais technique.
For me, tango is a syncretism of all dance forms.This
led me to organize, in 2014, several fusion workshops ofpn contemporary dance, contact-improvisation and tango by the name of ConTango. Recently, I
have begun to explore the link between Watsu (water shiatsu) and tango.
Because I believe in the free expression of the
Argentine tango, in 2015, I organized the biggest
street tango festival in Romania, called Tango pe Lipscani, in the Old Town of Bucharest. It is a place
where the live music and performances of Argentine tango were brought to the street, in the middle
of all the people who could take part in our joy.
included in the festival were presentations by Lucas Molina, an Argentinean born Flamenco dancer
who performed a fusion of Argentine tango and
Flamenco to the live music of Emy Dragoi, the leading accordionist artist in Romania.
Although the Tango Nuevo scene is new in Romania,
just like the Argentine tango itself, one cannot fail to
observe the many intricacies of its representatives.
As one of these people, I can only hope that the different types of music that exist under the Argentine
tango umbrella will inspire and enrich the lives of all
people, regardless of personal style, age and culture.
