A proposito del exhibicion

....algo saber de mi:

Alexandra Kallos (Grecia) era bailarina de danza contemporanea en Holanda.

Termino su trayectoria como bailarina para formarse en fotografia y video-arte en una Escuela de Belles Artes en Amsterdam. Durante ese periodo sufrio un accidente de trafico muy grave que la obligo a permanecer una larga temporada hospitalizada e inmovilizada durante seis meses. Anos despues de finalizar su formacion artistica, empezo a aprender tango y fue un encuentro irresistible. Desde entonces ha dedicado su vida professional al arte y al baile. En 2001 empieza a pasar largas temporadas en Buenos Aires, mejorando su estilo no solo con grandes maestros( Gavito, Sebastian y Mariana, Dana y Pablo Frigoli, Chico Frumboli..) sino tambien compartiendo abrazos y bailes con varios milongueros.

Desde hace cinco anos reside en Barcelona. Viaja mucho por su profesion, dando clases y exhibiciones en Europa y otros lugares como la India, donde dio clases y organizo milongas en Goa los ultimos tres anos durante el invierno.

Define el tango como ‘el regalo mas grande de su vida’, porque representa la profunda gratitud que siente por haber recibido esta segunda oportunidad de la vida.

its very exciting to be dancing in my hometown with

a new partner Jens-Ingo Brodesser!

He is a greek-german tangodancer living in Brussels.

We both share many years of professional dancing and studying in Buenos Aires with various maestros like Gavito, Gustavo Naveiro, Sebastian y Mariana, Chicho Frumboli, Dana y Pablo Frigoli to name but a few.

Jens-Ingo is also a professional DJ.

Not only a staple on the Brussels tangoscene but working at various festivals and milongas

in Copenhagen, Cologne, Amsterdam, Paris etc.

We will have the opportunity to experience his personal style of Dj-ing on the following saturday 3 of Dec. in the milonga Bellos Aires, Mir Geribert 8, 3 planta (M. Plaza Espagna)

Being greek he likes to introduce greek folkmusic called Rembetiko as cortinas.

Rembetiko is a greek cultural style of music that originated as a subculture in the greek ports and cities during the beginning and middle of the last century.

It shares its roots with other industrial subcultures like blues, fado, flamenco and tango.

Its lyrics generally reflect on the harsher realities of life.

After some very inspiring tangofestival trips to exciting places like Istanbul, Beirut and Amsterdam but to new a few, im back in Barca.

Also lots of fluxus on the homefront : i moved apartments.

Tango aficionados the world over are of course getting ready to embark on the magical

Sitgestangofestival

13 -17 th July. Officially 5 days but in the last few years it seems to have spilled out into more like a week of sun, sand and tango.

I myself will skip on Sitges this year , hmmm yess, for im about to leave for island hopping in

my native Greece.

Tango festival in Lesbos is on the cards and i will be teaching ............... yoga aswell !

Look out for some summerpostings here and the anouncement of the new classes

Lots of summer-tango joy ;-)

Happy milonqueando!

abrazos y besos
