Teaching Priorities

First, work on the listening part of the other, learn to speak clearly with your own body to make sure you have good communication, then, comes the listening part of the music. For Luis Bruni and Pascale Coquigny steps are the envelope of the real condense of tango. The most important thing is giving in to feeling the culture, the emotions, the sensations. Of course, steps are necessary, but they are the result of a game of two, in order to find pleasure and fluidity which are essential in a dance for two. Pascale and Luis will offer you a solid basis which will later allow you, to choose from the different styles and different approaches. The point is to teach an authentic tango, neutral of any style, so that everyone can progress freely. The classes are taught with historical and cultural references. Learning specific styles comes afterwards, once you feel the essence of tango, once it is part of you. Luis masters perfectly various styles which he learned in Buenos Aires with the old masters, such as El Pibe Palermo, Pupy Castello, Tete, El Turco Jose, Tommy O’Connel. It is the diversity of those approaches which allows Pascale and Luis to teach a tango away from its clichés but rich of the multiple styles.
