Bio:
Claudia Cortes grew up fully immersed in folk dance, contemporary dance and rhythmic gymnastics in her hometown of Patagonia. She pursued her love of teaching at University of Magallanes and later found herself in Los Angeles. There, Claudia became an accomplished dancer in several disciplines including salsa. Out of pure coincidence, she stumbled upon social tango dancing and had a nostalgic moment remembering tango songs her mother used to sing to her as a child. Claudia was instantly inspired to return to South America and master Argentine Tango. When she returned to the Unites States, she became an inspirational young dancer; teaching and performing tango in festivals and workshops across the country. She has had the privilege dancing in China when the Rhythm and Passion dance company invited her in 2012. Claudia’s teaching draws from an academic background in athletics to emphasize correct technique, alignment and movement in the dance. Her dancing epitomizes the intensity, beauty and stillness of Argentine Tango.
Claudia never dreamed of being a DJ, but her passion and love for music and her desire to create an exquisite atmosphere for her friends lead her to begin managing music at local milongas. Starting in 2011, she has already become a popular name locally in Los Angeles as well as many other cities in the United States.

Martu:
A Milonguero and a tango teacher, Martu Salem is one of the most talented dancers among the new generation of tangueros in Bueno Aires. Before his meeting with tango, Martu dedicated several years to studying music. With a strong foundation in musical structure, he was well prepared to assimilate tango into his life when he came across the dance. As his pursuit for tango intensified, he tapered his musical studies in favor for his new passion for dancing social tango. True to the milonguero nature.
His training as a dancer comes first from the milongas, because first of all, he is a milonguero on Buenos Aires for a long time.
Then continued his training with some of the most renowned tango teachers and dancers, which has led him to teach classes and seminars not only in different parts of Buenos Aires, but also in different cities in Italy, Germany and EEUU.
Like all milongueros, Martu believes in the answers for all things tango lie within the close embrace and the feel good sensation from clarity and mutual respect for his partner. He used teache at the famed La Viruta milonga in Buenos Aires.

If you had never had the chance to take a class with Claudia and Martu, here is a little bit about them and why their classes are in demands.
Claudia and Martu understand the nature of Movement. She is keenly aware that each of us moves differently. She likes to break down each movement to its basic elements and decompose it in such a way that you can recompose it and make it yours.
From Complex to Simple. Yet efficient and powerful.
Beyond the mechanics of the movement, Claudia and Martu guide their students into the inner world of Tango: make them start feeling their partner’s body, energy and movement. By unlocking the bodies, their students find comfort in the embrace and a mutual fluidity in their dance.
Martu and Claudia takes you on a trip to make you feel how it is to dance in Buenos Aires
