Alexis and Eugenia dance tango since 2004. They started working together in 2006 and have since attended private courses and seminars with top argentinian maestros. Since 2008, they have been giving private and group lessons. Their teaching focuses on understanding one’s body and one’s specific role in the embrace, as well as the improvement of one’s personal technique, in order to achieve a harmonious communication between the couple. Their goal is to make the learning process as easy as possible and to transmit the culture or tango in general (music, etiquette, etc). In parallel, they choreograph and present shows in Greece and abroad. They are located in Athens and are currently part of Libertango dance studio, while they have also given classes at Nicosia and Limassol, Cyprus.
Alexis started dancing latin and cuban salsa, while a little later he discovered tango. He was intrigued by the music and he decided to deepen in the culture. He soon begins giving shows, in various greek cities. In 2006, he starts working with Eugenia and soon they begin giving tango classes together. He has given classes in Patras, Ierapetra, Agios Nikolaos and Athens, where he also organized milongas.
Alexis is also a tango music enthusiast and collector. He is regularly invited as a tango dj in some the biggest milongas of Athens and he has also deejayed in festivals in Greece and abroad. He mainly chooses tangos from the late ’20s to the mid ’50s and he pays special attention to the melodic and rythmic composition of his tandas, while he looks to inspire the dancers and to keep them on the dance floor.
Eugenia received artistic education from an early age. She studied piano and was a member of various musical groups and choirs. In 2003 she joined a theatrical team and participated in various performances all over Greece. She begun dance classes at the age of 7, and since then she got involved in various dance genres (flamenco, contemporary dance, salsa, etc). She came in touch with tango through milongas and she wanted to delve into this dance more. In 2005 she creates her first choreographies in the context of a chorotheatrical performance. A year later she begins working with Alexis.
