Theme Co Creation
What is it
This is an intensive weekend for everyone who like to explore to go beyond the traditional roles in tango: dancing open role. You only need experience in one role. Of course having experience in both roles is an advantage, but not a necessary condition. We will not work with steps and patterns, but with the language of the body within the tango genre, changing roles during the dance, and how to dance in the ronda while co creating the dance. We willl keep the connection and the music at the core of the classes.
What it is not
This is NOT Contact Improvisation. We stay within the genre and language of Tango, and we will use the tango abrazo (open or close, traditional or nuevo) as the points of connection.
What music will we play
We will play both traditional tango music as well as neotango / nontango during the classes. The goal is to become a better social dancer, so we will also play tandas of milonga and vals during the prácticas.
Classes vs. practice time
We will have breaks and time to practice and explore (prácticas). The idea is that all participants can contribute to this weekend with their own experiences and ideas. We will coach and support the group, we will guide the questions and ideas, and we will provide individual feedback to each dancer.

Your Maestros Mariano y Cosima
As teachers Mariano and Cosima are specialized in healthy tango technique with an elegant and natural style for both roles.
Mariano was born in Buenos Aires and he grew up in a tango family. His grandfather ran a tango venue in the city where he lived, and Mariano's mother was a pioneer in Argentine Tango in the Netherlands and surrounding countries; she passed on the legacy to her son. Encouraged by his maestro Antonio Todaro and by family friend Osvaldo Pugliese, he decided at the young age of seventeen to pursue a career as a professional tangodancer.
Cosima has danced and played violin since early childhood. She explored different styles of dance and music, until she fell for Tango Argentino in 1996, which led her to a fulltime career as a professional tango dancer.
Mariano & Cosima met each other in 2001 and they have been performing & teaching together for over two decades. They trained intensively in Buenos Aires with renowned names of the tango world. Their style is classical Argentine tango. To the expertise of the couple Cosima added her musical knowledge of tango (she studied Argentine tango on violin at CODARTS, the Rotterdam Conservatory 1996-1997), and her knowledge in healthy body movements and posture (she is a certificated posture therapist since 2001 and physiotherapist since 2004).
Mariano & Cosima are passionate tango teachers, and their classes are very appreciated by their students, in particular the effective pedagogy. The couple knows very well to work with a group, by creating a light, and relaxed atmosphere with a pinch of humor. There is in their teaching a good balance of explanation and practice, with feedback to the group and individually. They know how to combine technique and the feeling of the dance, with focus on the essence of tango in their classes. With subtle and accurate corrections so that a tango student can evolve his or her tango style.
Their main focus points of Mariano & Cosima are:
- Healthy movements, relaxed energy, complete awareness of corporal coordination and feeling;
- Quality of movement, connection within the couple and musicality
