TOFIC ANTON IN MUMBAI.

We have the pleasure to invite the Argentine Tango maestro Tofic Anton to Mumbai from 26/12/2014 to 28/12/14 and from 31/12/14 to 02/01/ 2015. Tofic Anton is known for breathing techniques which he created and developed for tango. These techniques allow coordination between breathing and the movement of body parts in individual and couple work. A PHD holder and a university teacher and researcher, he has developed a scientifically proven process that allows very fluid and relaxed movement. There will be workshops on Friday 26th December, late afternoons on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 December in South Mumbai. The schedules and the venue will be announced shortly. And a milonga on 28 December at the Royal Bombay Yacht Club from 8 pm onwards. Practicas and privates will be held during the course of the following week. All events will be strictly non-commercial. We have also the pleasure of having among us a group of Tofic's students. About Tofic Anton Tofic started to dance at a very young age. He was marked by the spirit of old tangueros (Jose Mendez, Pocho Pizzaro, Antonio Todaro).... The Argentine tango maestro Pablo Tegli introduced him to a very fluid and relaxed tango, in which possibilities can be created in a very elegant and controlled way. Tofic also studied with one of the greatest tangueros of all time, Pablo Veron. After years of intensive work, Tofic achieved a very creative style with strong attachment to the rules and sequences of traditional tango. Tofic has a Phd In mechanical engineering. He has for years studied the bio-mechanics of the human body and the art of the fluid and relaxed couple movement. He has modeled and simulated human body movements. Tofic has developed effective techniques to coordinate the respiration with body movements and has optimized several ways to achieve the best performance in terms of quality of individual and couple movements. The techniques developed by Tofic can be applied to other dance forms including the latin dances. Tofic has given courses and workshops all over Europe. He has taught and performed in several festivals, events and musicals worldwide. Two years ago, he moved to Lebanon from France where he created the ‘Tango Abrazame y Baila’ group.
