The Art of Following - weekend with Sigrid Utrecht & Haarlem

ABOUT SIGRID VAN TILBEURGH There are followers who can transform the dance into something magical. Sigrid is such a dancer. She is quiet and exiting, soft and powerful, calm and full of fire at the same time. Sigrid is living dance. Trained since her childhood in ballet and contemporary and since 1998 Argentine Tango. Her refined elegance and extraordinary technique is complemented by her great musical interpretation. She is playing with the music and her partner all the time and still fully present in her role as a 'follower'. Her movements are effortless and free, feminine and powerful at the same time. She is teaching and performing a lot with Murat Erdemsel. She has developed and teaching interationally a series of workshops focussed on the followers. She says: "These technique workshops have become a speciality of mine and I am very highly regarded for my pedagogy and my vision of the corporal movement."
