From their gathered experiences, Sebastian and Mariana have developed their own teaching methodology (T.M.E = TANGO MULTIPLE STYLES) based on the harmony between conscious and unconscious body control applied to movement/non movement, and changing in tango philosophy a the vision of style, a vision detached from the singularity of style. Their methodology also focuses on awakening senses before applying them to the dance (understanding of relationship, physical and theoretical/sensorial and auditive), and have as a final goal the self expression, the research of your own dance from the needs created by the student’s own tango path, paying much attention to the non-movement, the introspection of the dance, the contemplation.
