[Tango-A] NA-E: Melina Sedo & Detlef Engel visiting the US

[Melina Sedo & Detlef Engel]

Dear Tango friends,

we - Melina Sedó & Detlef Engel - are going to visit Pittsburg, 
Philadelphia and New York in a few days and would like to introduce 
ourselves to those who don't know us yet. We'll be looking forward to 
meeting you at the Milongas or at our classes.

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 and started travelling all over 
Europe and to Buenos Aires to take classes with the best 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 ...
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 and understanding of 
this complex dance.
We mainly work in Germany, in France and the neighbouring countries of 
Europe and 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.This year we'll be performing at La Nacional (NYC) 
and later in april at some of the most distinguished Milongas in Buenos 
Aires: Porteno y Bailarin, Salon Canning, Tanguedia, Bien Pulenta....
