KARA WENHAM (Buenos Aires)
Recognized as an excellent dancer and teacher in Buenos Aires and
abroad, Kara's dancing and classes are founded on a modern tango salon
that incorporates the techniques and dynamics of a contemporary tango
whilst maintaining a strong connection to the roots of the dance.
Kara has developed a pedagogy that is designed to empower students by
giving them tools that focus on a solid technique, a clear idea of the
structure of the dance, connection, lead and follow, musicality,
improvisation, and the development of a personal style.
Whether the embrace is open or closed, Kara's emphasis is on how to
maintain a connection that is sensitive, communicative and sensual
between both leader and follower.
She currently lives in Buenos Aires, teaching well-attended classes at
Tango Brujo. She also gives workshops and participates in festivals
throughout Argentina, Asia, Europe, and the United States. She
participated last year in TangoMagia's 10th Anniversary Festival in
Amsterdam and has also participated in festivals in Istanbul, Zurich
and Siracusa in 2008.


YANICK WYLER (Buenos Aires)
Forming part of the new generation of tango dancers investigating in
Buenos Aires, Yanick is expanding the vocabulary of the contemporary
tango movement.He has developed great creativity and a playful
musicality which now stand out as key elements in his dance.Yanick's
teaching is based on his profound knowledge of the technique, the
structure of dance, and the connection and communication of the
couple. His precise explanations are focused on facilitating an
energetic yet sensitive and smooth dialogue between leader and
follower.
When not travelling the U.S. or Europe, he lives in Buenos Aires where
he works as a staff teacher at Tango Brujo. Apart from his dedication
to tango, he investigates the movements of the human body as a
certified trainer of the Gyrotonic Expansion System(R).
