are a fresh, dynamic and energetic couple. Their performances show pure simplicity as well as a complex and personal interpretation of the music, both in traditional and modern tango. As teachers they combine the precision of the technical and mechanical perspective of the movements with the abstract world of sensations and feelings. In their classes they start from the strong and simple basics to move forward to complexity in an organic way. They understand a pedagogic experience as a "body-mind"-interchange between students and teachers.
Maria Mondino
started her tango career in 1998, began to work with Gustavo Naveira in 2001, and has been studying with Chicho Frumboli, Eugenia Parilla, and Pablo Inza. The style she is interested in and trying to develop as well as promote, is the result of a search: the idea of generating consciousness of the movement, the systematization of concepts, as well as a clear and defined pedagogy. She never stops searching for even more quality and organic movement, as well as warmth, expressiveness and connection in the dance. Since 1999 she teaches workshops in Buenos Aires and in Europe on a regular basis.
Ismael Ludman
belongs to a generation of young Argentine dancers. His curiosity led him to study tango with a great diversity of schools and teachers in Buenos Aires, always being in search of a dynamical, improvised and organic tango. Besides from tango he has also been active in other artistic disciplines as Contact Improvisation, Eutonia, Butoh and Dance-Theatre. Ismael is searching for a tango with a particular emphasis on communication, a relaxed way of dancing, and expressiveness. In addition to Buenos Aires, he has been active as dancer, teacher and organizer in Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Scotland, England and Spain.
