Ines Moussavi

As long as I can remember I love to dance.
Some years I concentrated on Dance-Theatre, Jazzdance and classical Ballet.
Since 1996 I dance Tango Argentino. It was love at first glance when I visited my first milonga, the "Roter Salon" in Berlin. I was impressed by the intimacy, the music and elegant moves. The next day I subscribed for my first tangolesson, not knowing that the process of learning and enjoying new possibilities will never end.
Tango became the most important thing in my life and - lucky me - even my profession.
Some things that I like to share with my students: relaxed upright posture, comfortable embrace, feeling for the music, solid balance and elegance in movements, connection in the couple and attention for the others dancers, taking care of the line of dance.

Ulrich Demmel

Ruth Zimmermann

After her Qualification as a musician in 1999 she fell in love with tango. Her Lessons are dynamical and focussed on the connection of the dancers to each other, as on the improvisation within the "pattern" and harmony with the music, concetrating on the traditional tango.

“My main influences are Eric Jorissen - I admire his Training and organization - as Fernando Guidi - with whom I am pleased to dance since 5 years - and (of course) my students who inspire me to develope new ways of training.”

Ruth lives with her two kids in Devon (South-West-England), where she organizes Tango-Events and regular lessons...as long as she isn't on the roads through Germany, France, Norway, Spain or Holland.

Mila und Korey

Korey Ireland is a professional composer turned tango-addict, he brings a lifetime of musical experience and an unquenchable thirst for tango to his teaching. He has developed his dancing on social dance floors of the world's tango capitols and with a great deal of guidance from some spectacular teachers (Winkler, Jeurissen, Valle, Naviera, Krebs.) Originally from Kansas City, Korey has spent the better part of the last three years traveling and teaching tango in England, Holland, Spain, Germany, Russia and Argentina, sharing his passion for tango, music, expression, and connection. In January 2005 he met Mila in El Corte and they are continuing this tango adventure as a duo. They are currently building Kansas City's first tango school while Korey finishes recording CD of original tango music.

Mila Vigdorova (Moscow),

danced classic, folk, jazz since she was 5 years old, she discovered tango in 2000 and has hardly missed a milonga since. A tango junkie, she first spent all her money and vacation time on tango travels from Russia to European festivals, El Corte and Buenos Aires. In 2003 she opened her tango school in Moscow and worked successfully for 3 years, teaching, organizing workshops with Argentine maestrors, and staging tango shows. Her tango is influenced by such masters as Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa, Pablo Inza, Brigitta Winkler, Erik Jerissen, Luciana Valle, and also music and feelings. After her first trip to Buenos Aires in 2002, she found she can not live a year without this city. In 2005 she danced demos with Dani Flaco and Jorge Firpo in Buenos Aires, in the same lucky year met Korey Ireland in the tango mecca- El Corte. Since than Mila and Korey are travelling and teaching together, trying to balance between their home communities Moscow and Kansas City and their long European and Argentine tours.
If she could only imagine back in 2000, as she breathlessly watched the dance sequences of "Tango Lesson", that within in 5 years she would have danced at milongas with these stars and speak a common language with dancers from all over the world and find her love on another continent through the embrace of a tango.

Toine
15 years ago I started to dance tango in El Corte. My whole life, grewing up in a 'dancing family', I was addicted to dance, and after many years of dancing ballroom and latin, I found Tango, or Tango found me. I loved Piazzolla but never realised, till I saw a Documentary about a visit of two Tangoaddicts to BAs, that in Holland tango existed in this form.

During the years I took lessons, regular in El Corte, Eric Jorissens famous place. Took in several places in the world, classes, workshop, spend weekends, and weeks with several teachers, many, and as well of course the Argentine Maestros. Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, Pepito and Suzuki, Teté, Fabian Salas and Carolina, Gavito, and many others. One of the couples I like very much, Damian and Nancy, very nice style and inspiring teachers.

Already more than 10 years ago I started to give classes with Monique, my regular partner but was asked as guest teacher with others as well. In many places in Europe we were invited to teach and perform. More than 10 years I'm with Monique one of the regular teachers of El Corte in Nijmegen and these days as well in Flor the Fango in Arnhem.

As educated teacher/ coach, I integrated this skills, together with bodywork, in tangolessons. Besides being a good teacher, it's evident that a dancer I give an example with my partners, elegant, playfull, that makes people want to follow classes. Í think tango, even when I dance and teach for years now, I am open for influences, like to take classes myself for the inspiration of other teachers, and from my point of view, you might think you're excellent, there is always something you can work on!

My vision, tango inspires, I like to inspire and I like to be inspired by the dance and tangopeople!
