Your boot camp instructors, Stefano Fava and Alexandra Wood are without
question amongst the finest professional tango dancers in the world.
Their love and respect for the traditional tango from Buenos Aires
has lead them to train and work with the most famous and acclaimed
tango dancers. They recently spent a month working with
probably the greatest living tango dancer Miguel Angel Zotto (Tango Por Dos).
They
regularly visit Argentina to further enhance their Tango expertise and perform to the most discerning tango audiences.
In fact, they will be teaching at TangoBootCamp shortly after returning from another extended trip to Buenos
Aires.
Their
teaching style is clear, assured yet encouraging. They have vast experience of teaching complete beginners and also
dancers who have backgrounds in different dance styles (including Modern Jive). They really
were the only teachers we wanted to partner with to develop the TangoBootCamp experience where the
teaching needs to be intense but still fun!
They place special emphasis on
authentic technique,
the connection within the couple and musicality. Alexandra's background as a classically trained (R.A.D) ballet dancer
adds an extra element of elegance and grace which takes their tango to a different level. Stefano's dedication to
the rich history of the dance and passion for classic tango music helps students to quickly understand
and feel it's tradition.
Whilst other couples rely on flashy
moves, Stefano + Alex wow their audiences with the purity and intensity of their connection and authentic classical technique. Watching
them dance together is a spellbinding experience. Learning from them for 14 hours at TangoBootCamp will be equally memorable,
inspiring and a great place to start your tango journey.
