The Fun Learning Weekend The Westcoast Tango Marathon presents Pablo Inza + Sofia Saborido

As a part of the Westcoast Tango Marathon, you will have the opportunity to take workshops with Pablo Inza and Sofia Saborido from Buenos Aires, two of the most transformational teachers in the tango world. Pablo and Sofia are in the middle of a world tango tour that has taken them from Buenos Aires through Europe to America and Australia, so we're thrilled to have them with us in Sweden. Pablo Inza is considered to be one of the most influential figures of the present day tango scene. He began dancing tango in 1992, and has won respect worldwide for his innovative and creative style, influencing many generations of dancers and teachers. Sofia Saborido is a delicate and intense dancer. Rich in musicality and quality of movement, her dancing is based on a refined and sensitive connection. The workshops are organized by Itscoldupnorthdancetango in close cooperation with our friends at the Westcoast Tango Marathon.
