About this Event

In collaboration with World Dance Company who is co-hosting the event. We got great inspiration from them and it is with great pleasure that we receive the visit of one of our favourite couple of maestros: Pablo Inza and Sofia Saborido. For more information about this amazing couple, please scroll down. They designed two seminars, specially for you. Note: a seminar is a serie of workshops built upon each other. This format allows a deep, continuous learning and it is the reason why the workshops can't be attended independently. .......................................

On Friday, Apero Tango with DJ Pablo at Oceanen: https://www.facebook.com/events/400366013631590/ On Saturday, milonga at TR-Huset with live music by Tangótica, DJ Suzanna between the sets, and show by Pablo and Sofia. https://www.facebook.com/events/377974902557844/ As we would like the dance floors equally full on Friday and Saturday, we decided to organise a milonga package on pre-sales.

More about Pablo & Sofia: After decades of teaching and performing around the globe in the most important tango festivals Pablo and Sofia became an international point of reference in the tango scene. 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. Sofia Saborido (Argentine) 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, Australia and Asia. Pablo Inza (Argentine) 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.
