Their professional path made of back and forth trips between Argentina and the rest of the world as well as their expert point of view about the dance are widely appreciated in the tango communities. Refined pedagogues, performers, choreographs, actors, etc Pablo and Sofia are two accomplished artists who partnered in 2013 creating one of the most renowned couples that Argentin tango presently has. Pablo Inza (Arg) is considered by many to be one of the present day tango scene's most influential figures and has won respect worldwide for his innovative and creative style. Pablo's personal style is rich in contrasting dynamics and playful musicality. Frequently invited to some of the largest tango festivals in Europe and North America, Pablo has been teaching and performing around the world since 1999. An excellent teacher with a great capacity for analysis and an innate sense of musicality, Pablo's classes are popular amongst dancers of all levels. Sofia Saborido (Arg) A delicate yet intense dancer, Sofia has a extensive background in theatre, ballet, modern and jazz dance. The deep musicality and quality of movement in her dancing is based on a refined and sensitive connection. Being the great grand daughter of Enrique Saborido, a legendary dancer, musician and composer of tangos like La Morocha, Felicia and others, she was literally born with tango in her veins. In 2006 she won the fourth place in the tango championship of Buenos Aires. Since then she dedicates her time on teaching and performing mainly in Europe but also in United States and Asia. Pablo Inza. Dancer, choreographer, stage director and tango teacher. With a rich background in contemporary dance, artistic performance and direction, he started dancing tango in 1992 with both amateur milongueros as well as renowned maestros. He participated as dancer and choreographer in many tango shows in Argentina and also internationally. Since 1999 he has been invited to teach and perform in the most prestigious festivals. As stage director he created "Radio Cabulero"(presented in Bergen International Festival in 2002, Norway) "El arte de amar" (Tangomagia VI 2003, Holland). In Buenos Aires he did "El camion" (2001-02); "Matambre" (2003), "Metronomo" (2004), "Living" (2008) and "En el abrazo"(2012). Between 2004 and 2009 he was the producer and artistic director of Cambalache (a festival based on a fusion of tango, theater and contemporary dance). He was also one of the founders of Practica X (2004-2012) which was one of the most frequented practicas in Buenos Aires. Sofia Saborido. Dancer and tango teacher with a background in theatre, ballet, modern and jazz dance. Great grand-daughter of Enrique Saborido (dancer, musician and composer of tangos like La Morocha or Felicia and many others) Sofia started dancing tango when she was only 10 years old. At the age of 12 she enters in the young tango ballet of La Plata. In 2000 she works in the dinner show "La Cumparsita" and performs every Sunday at the historic show of plaza Dorrego, in San Telmo. In 2006 she wins the 4th place of in the tango championship of Buenos Aires. In 2009 and 2010 she participates as main dancer in the show "Tango Argentique" presented in the Theatre Festival of Avignon. During the last decade she has developed an intensive pedagogical activity abroad and has been invited to teach in more than twenty countries all over the globe. About The Classes Vision-classes-goal VISION "In improvisation we trust" About tango, we love the possibility to build the dance through small moments. Even if we use patterns while dancing, we challenge the couple to decide step-by-step what will come next. We believe in the real improvisation CLASSES In our classes, the dancers will work on awakening the body awareness and connection in order to develop the physical dialogue within the couple. Our technique work doesn’t only have an aesthetic purpose, it rather helps to find the comfort of the dancers in a relaxed and sensitive embrace. To stimulate the improvisation in your dance, we focus on short and useful situations rather than long sequences. GOAL We provide students with useful information to help them develop a personal and creative dance, encouraging the diversity that we so much love about tango. www.pabloinza.com / www.pabloysofia.com Tango Festivals Pablo & Sofia: 2023- CITA Tango Fest, Buenos Aires (Argentina) ENTA La Rioja (Argentina) Tree Tango City, Boise (USA) Rovinj Tangowoche, Rovinj (Croatia) Catania Tango Tango Festival, Catania (Italy) Val Cenis Tango Fest, Val Cenis (France) Cambridge Tango Festivalito, Cambridge (UK) 2022 - Metz Tango Festival, Metz (France) Rovinj Tangowoche, Rovinj (Croatia) Sofia Tango Festival, Sofia (Bulgaria) Bailongo Tango Festival, Montreal (Canada) Cheltenham Tango Festival, Cheltenham (UK) Festivalito Corrientes 12th Anniversary, Basel (Switzerland) Tree Tango City, Boise (USA) 2021 - Varna Tango Acercamiento, Varna (Bulgarioa) Rovinj Tangowoche, Rovinj (Croatia) Sofia Tango Festival, Sofia (Bulgaria) 2019 - Austin Spring Tango Festival, Texas (USA) Bailongo Tango Festival, Montreal (Canada) La Boca Tango Festival, Saint Petersburg (Russia) New Zealand Tango Festival, Wellington (New Zealand) Ljubljana Tango Festival, Ljubljana (Slovenia) Bordeaux Tango Festival (France) Tango in Kroatia, Rovinj (Croatia) 2018 - Austin Spring Tango Festival, Texas (USA) Dresden Tango Fest, Dresden (Germany) New Zealand Tango Festival, Wellington (New Zealand) Winter Tango, Lillehammer (Norway) Metz Tango Festival, Metz (France) La Diabolika, Genova (Italy) Senigallia Tango Festival, Ancona (Italy) Ljubljana Tango Festival, Ljubljana (Slovenia) 2017 - Austin Spring Tango Festival, Texas (USA) Seattle Tango Magic, Seattle (USA) Tallin Tango Festival, Tallin (Estonia) Palermo Fest Tango, Palermo (Italy) Autum Tango Festival, Lillehammer (Norway) Australian Tango Festival, Sydney (Australia) 2016 - Marca di Tango, Treviso (Italia) Colmar Tango Festival, Colmar (France) Groningen Tango Festival, Groningen (Holland) Kesaleiri Summer Tango Camp, Tyrväntö (Finland) Sainté Tango Festival, Chalmazel (France) Tallin Tango Festival, Tallin (Estonia) Bailongo Tango Festival, Montreal (Canada) May Maddness, Ann Arbor (USA) Abrazo Tango Festival, Metz (France) 2015 – Groningen Tango Festival, Groningen (Holland) Strasbourg Tangpo Festival, Strasbourg (France) Nice Tango Festival, Nice (France) Sainté Tango Festival, Chalmazel (France) Seattle Tango Magic, Seattle (USA) Groningen Tango Festival (Holland) Bordeaux Tango Festival (France) Montpellier TangSud (France) 2014 – Seattle Tango Magic, Seattle (USA) Mar del Plata Vive Tango, Mar del Plata (Argentina) Festivalito Mon Amour, Lyon (France) Festival des fondus du tango, Chambery (France) Tulum Tango Weekend, Tulum (Mexico) Normandie Tango Festival, Caen (France) Tango Festivals (Pablo Inza): 2013 – Misterio Tango Festival, Buenos Aires (Argentina) Zaratango, Zaragoza (Spain) TangoX3, Pisa, Livorno, Lucca (Italy) Tour’N Tango Festival, Tours (France) Cilento Tango Roots, Morigerati (Italy) Seattle Tango Magic, Seattle (USA) La Santa, Genova (Italy) 5th Nice Tango Festival, Nice (France) Pau Tango Festival, Pau (France) Estancia Tango, Normandie (France) 2012 – Misterio Tango Festival, Buenos Aires (Argentina) Grand Tango Weekend, St Petersburg (Russia) Cilento Tango Roots, Morigerati (Italy) Estancia Tango, Normandie (France) Copenhagen Tango Festival, Copenhagen (Denmark) 2011 – Beirut International Tango Festival, Beirut (Lebanon) Tangocamp Italy, Rome (Italy) Tango La Haya, Den Haag (Holland) Kiev Tango Festival, Kiev (Ukrania) Mantova Tango Festival, Mantova (Italy) 2010 – Brussels Tango Festival, Brussels (Belgium) Couleurs Tanfo Festival, Paris, (France) Lubjana Tango Festival, Lubjana (Slovenia) Copenhagen Tango Festival, Copenhagen (Denmark) Capri Tango Festival, Capri (Italy) Chicago Tango Week, Chicago (USA) Ponderosa Tango Festival, Berlin (Germany) Misterio Tango Festival, Buenos Aires (Argentina) Montevideo Tango Festival, Montevideo (Uruguay) 2009 – Brussels Tango Festival, Brussels (Belgium) Krakow Tango Festival, Krakow (Poland) Choco Tango Festival, Perugia (Italy) Copenhagen Tango Festival, Copenhagen (Denmark) Berlin Tango Festival, Berlin (Germany) Tangocamp Grecce, Eretria (Grecce) Tangocamp Italy, Rome (Italy) Capri Tango Festival, Capri (Italy) Siracusa Tango Festival, Siracusa (Italy) Chicago Tango Week, Chicago (USA) Rosso Tango Festival, Cagliari (Italy) Biganos Tango Festival, Biganos (France) Sicily Tango Festival, Palermo (Italy) Ponderosa Tango Festival, Berlin (Germany) Misterio Tango Festival, Buenos Aires (Argentina) 2008 – Copenhagen Tango Festival, Copenhagen (Denmark), Palermo Tango Beach, Palermo (Italy).
