Argentine Tango is all about dancing as a couple, yet in many Tango classes, dance instruction tends to focus on the individual roles with a lesser amount of time spent on how the two dancers interact. Marcelo Gutierrez and Sofia Saborido invite you to team up as couples, whether as dedicated dance partners, or as teammates in learning and join in a rare opportunity to gather in knowledge in person from two world masters of the art.
Immerse yourself to create, in Tango, a whole that is different and greater than anything that could be accomplished alone.

THE MAESTROS
Sofia Saborido (Buenos Aires) is a delicate and intense dancer, a gem of the new generation of dancers. With great quality of movement and musical richness, she builds dance from a refined and sensitive connection. Highly appreciated for her teaching, she has taught throughout Europe since 2006 during courses, seminars and tango festivals.
With 30 years of experience, Sofía Saborido has danced tango almost all her life. Great grand daughter of the legendary composer and musician Enrique Saborido she started dancing aged 10 and teaching when she was only 15. Since then has travelled to share her love for tango in more than 30 countries around the world.
She has collaborated with El Indio Benavente, Carlos Espinoza, Andres Sautel and, for the past ten years with Pablo Inza.
Her goal is to help dancers develop awareness and comfort to become more “huggable” by training connection through improvisation.
Marcelo 'El Chino' Gutierrez is a world renowned tango master and performer. Marcelo won 2nd place in the 2002 Tango Salon Championships in Buenos Aires. For the past 20 years he has worked on developing and perfecting the teaching system for which he is most known and respected; a method focusing on stability, groundedness, comfort, natural body movement, core leading and following. The stunning results of his learner focused teaching style make him one of the most sought after Argentine Tango Maestros in the world.
Known as a teacher of teachers Marcelo is one of that unique and lucky generation of professional tango dancers that “came of age” in an era where tango came to a crossroads and renewed itself in the 2000’s. He benefited both from being able to study with such old-school masters as the Dinzels, Nito and Elba, the Rivarolas, Teresa Fernández (Todaro system) and Victor Arne; and from being part of the tango revolution that started with Gustavo Naveira and came to be known as Tango Nuevo.

FAQ
What if I don't have a partner?
This workshop is specifically designed for partnered learning. If you don't have a regular dance partner that you study with you may find there are dancers in the corresponding role in the community who are also looking to benefit from this unique opportunity. Reach out among dancers in the area so that you can arrange to attend as a pair.
What level are the workshops?
Any dancer can benefit greatly from Marcelo and Sofia'a immersive workshops. The weekend's program includes 6 hours of active teaching, with opportunities to apply the learning to your dance regardless of your prior skill level. The workshop does not require any particular previous qualifications.
Can I attend for just one day?
Important elements, skills, knowledge and concepts will be shared over the course of the two days of workshops. Often knowledge and skill in Tango is cumulative, built upon related material covered previously. Missing one day or another only short- changes the opportunity for learning, so attendance for both days is strongly recommended.
