[Tango-A] NA-E: Melina Sedo + Detlef Engel debut tour

[Melina Sedo & Detlef Engel]

Dear Tango friends,

we - Melina Sedó & Detlef Engel - are going to visit Pittsburg, 
Philadelphia and New York in april and would like to introduce 
ourselves to those who don't know us yet.

Our philosophy: Tango is walking in an embrace.
We dance close-embrace Tango with a very personal touch. Our dance may 
be described as elegant and puristic and while imbedding modern 
techniques and elements into the Tango, it stays close to the roots of 
the traditional Tango de Salón.
At the core of our lessons, which are always geared towards 
improvisational capability, are intensive body work and analysis of 
tango´s structures. But „technical“ understanding is just a means to 
concentrate better on the essential: developing one´s own style and 
relishing the embrace in unison with the music.

Our bio:
We discovered Tango in the mid 90s in Germany - Melina coming from a 
dancing-background - and started travelling all over Europe and to 
Buenos Aires to take classes with the most distinguished teachers: El 
Indio, Mariana Dragone & Hernán Obispo, Mariana Flores & Eduardo 
Capussi, Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne, Julio Balmaceda & Corina de la 
Rosa, Juan Bruno, Chicho Frumboli, Andrea Rejero & Sebastian Misse, 
Osvaldo Zotto & Lorena Hermocida, Omar Vega, Fernando Galera & Vilma 
Vega ... and many more...
We started teaching in 2001 after having worked out a special teaching 
concept which bases on Tango as a language with words, a grammar and 
the possibility to compose poetry. Of course, this is a "work in 
progress", as we constantly develop our methods of enhancing movements 
and understanding of this complex dance.
Nowadays we mainly work in Germany, in France and the neighbouring 
countries of Europe, where our dedication and unique teaching concept 
have set standards over the years. We are traveling and giving 
workshops wherever people want to tango with sense and sensitivity. 
Last year we visited the tangueros in New York City and Washington and 
performed at Dance Manhattan, La Boca and Dancestudio 101.
