ABOUT ALEXANDRA WOOD & STEFANO FAVA
Unquestionably
two of the best tango teachers in Europe, Alexandra and Stefano have been principal teachers for TangoBootCamp since it started.
They are currently very busy on individual projects with Stefano spending most of the time teaching/perfroming in
Asia, Europe and Argentina. Alexandra is currently touring with Vincent and Flavia's sellout 'Midnight Tango'
show. In May they will be together again exclusively teaching for us at TangoBootCamp. Their workshops
will focus mainly on Tradional Salon , but they will also run their exceptional styling workshops
plus one on Show Tango.

ABOUT JOEL DAOU & ALINA KOLONITSKAYA
Joel founded Tango Manchester almost ten years ago and with partner
Alina have created a thriving tango community. Alina came to the world of Tango from a musical background.
Her classical training as a professional pianist helped her appreciate the subtelties of Tango Music and enhance her interpretation
of the dance.
They travel extensively to study with the best Maestros
in Buenos Aires and worldwide, including Pablo & Dana, Chicho Frumboli, Gustavo Naveira, Sebastian & Mariana, and
Fabian Salas.
The techniques they teach emphasise functionality,
naturalness, dynamics and playfulness,
and are designed to allow the dancers to effectively master and enjoy both Traditional
Tango as well as Tango Nuevo,
and to merge them with fluidity.

audiences with his virtuosity on harmonica.
