Teachers’ Profile (http://www.komalaystefan.com)
For over a decade Komala has been teaching in Europe where she is highly respected. She has a profound knowledge of the body and of the dynamics of tango. Her workshops are invaluable to followers who want to know their bodies better and to become more active in the dance. She deals primarily with the energy and dynamics of the dance, preparing leaders and followers for a new level of communication.
Komala started tango dancing in 1990. She began her professional career by teaching together with Eric Jeurissen, founder of the famous tango center, El Corte, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. She is currently a main hostess and teacher of El Corte.
Stefan started Tango in May 1997 because he needed some Tango steps for a chanson he was singing in a local theatre group :-) In no time he was completely caught up by this fascinating dance so he quickly completed the black belt in Karate so he can continue exploring the dance. He very soon realized that he preferred a partner who is not responding to every movement he makes with a punch but with a soft and gentle movement ;-)
After a year in Munich dancing nearly every night he was ready to look for something more which he found in Nijmegen - Holland. Here he took classes and danced… all night & day long. And here he learned that there are main 3 components which make a Tango a Tango: 1) the partner you're dancing with, 2) the music you're dancing to 3) the other people who are dancing in the same room with you
After this period of 'just dancing' he started to take lessons again with different Argentinean teachers - among them Nancy y Damian. As regards his dancing & teaching style he was mostly inspired by Eric Jeurissen & Komala
The most important thing since then is for him "not what you dance but how you dance it".
 
Take every step as if it is your last ...
