Teachers and artists 2011
Rui Barroso & Inês Gomes from Portugal
Rui
and Inês have learned and danced Traditional Tango - both Milonguero
and Salón style, and also Tango Nuevo. Rui and Inês believe that
uniqueness in tango doesn't come from specialization in a particular
style, but from the ability to dance all of them. Being unique as a
leader or as a follower comes from being able to adapt to circumstances,
to music and to different partners. And if the dance partner allows it,
one can - during a tanda with 4 tangos - actually dance in four
completely different ways. That is why they often like to explore the
different kinds of closed and open embrace in their workshops. In
addition, they often mix the different embraces in a sequence in order
to teach students to manage the changing of embrace in the middle of the
dance without losing stability. This will open alternatives to
interpret the music and create different feelings and energies in the
dance. When teaching Milonga and Vals, Rui and Inês like to compare and
differentiate the rhythmical structures of these dances with Tango.
Margita and Zigmunds
has been teaching Tango Salon and Tango Milonguero and making shows of
Argentine tango for 7 years. They own the first and the only tango club
in the Baltics „El Naranjerito”, which celebrates 2 years anniversary in
October 12, 2011. Margita and Zigmunds have had students in their tango
club from all over the world – Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, Germany,
Australia.
RigaTangoWinterFest welcomes two Argentine tango teacher couples:
Rui Barroso & Inês Gomes from Portugal and
Zigmunds Abolins & Margita Antonova from Latvia.
Rui and Ines continously explore the many forms of tango and dance and teach also tango kizomba, tango bachata and tango salsa.
Rui
and Inês have been working together for the past 3 years and have
taught workshops all over Portugal as well as in England, Spain,
Germany, Switzerland and Italy. They have also choreographed and danced
in a 90min Theatre Show called "Recuerdos" which is still running in
Portugal.
The
main influencers on Rui and Inês’s dance are Chicho Frumboli &
Juana Sepulveda (open embrace technique), Sebastian Arce & Mariana
Montes (closed embrace technique), and Alejandra Mantiñan, but also
Adrian Veredice & Alejandra Hobert, Esteban Morgado & Claudia
Codega, Pablo Rodrigues & Noelia Hurtado, Pablo Villarraza &
Dana Frigoli have had a major impact. In Portugal they have also worked
for 2 years with Juan Cappriotti and Graciana Romeo (Argentinean dancers
living and working in Lisbon), both as dancers and as teachers at their
tango school.
Rui
has been dancing and teaching tango for 14 years (as long as he has
been teaching Martial Arts). He started to learn Ballroom Dancing when
he was 13 Years Old. At the age of 17 he was already teaching and
investing on Salsa and Argentine Tango. Nowadays, Rui has his own dance
school in Portugal called THE STREAM and teaches regularly in Coimbra,
Lisbon and Oporto.
Inês
has been dancing tango for 5 years and she’s now finishing her degree
in dance at the Superior School of Dance in Portugal (Escola Superior de
Dança). Inês has a solid background on Classical and Contemporary
Dance.
Zigmunds Abolins & Margita Antonova from Latvia
Zigmunds Abolins & Margita Antonova from Latvia
For
Zigmunds and Margita tango is much more than a social dance. Tango is
creation in itself – this is what makes it unique. They have developed a
teaching technique that helps comprehend the essence of tango movements
and also retains the ancient enchantment of the dance. They use the
traditional tango technique based on natural motion, exercise and
practical training.
At
classes, Zigmunds and Margita pay attention to the fundamental concepts
of the dance, such as: tango posture, embrace and step, balance,
navigation on the dance floor, musicality and elegance. Connection
between partners is essential in tango. Zigmunds and Margita teaches,
how to dance in harmony with the partner, feel the music and converse
through the dance so that your partner and you can mutually enjoy the
creation of a new tango artwork.

and Variety dance. At the same time she loved sports and got involved in

In
2003 Margita made her first steps in tango, her first teacher being

she gained in Tango Camp Sweden in 2005 followed by regular trips to
Buenos Aires. Her favourite teachers of Argentine tango are Fabian
Peralta, Raul Bravo, Claudio Hoffman and Pilar Alvarez, Gabriel Misse,
Lorena Ermocida. She took many classes with Raul Bravo and got appraisal
for her work and development of tango in Latvia.
