About maestros
Given to feel the essence of tango.
Out of the thousands of ways of teaching Argentine Tango, Pascale Coquigny & Luis Bruni have chosen one full of sensibility and intensity. The basis of their teaching is the listening part of each other. In tango, steps are important and necessary but the emotion, the poetry, the dialogue, the creativity are even more.
First, work on the listening part of the other, learn to speak clearly with your own body to make sure you have good communication, then, comes the listening part of the music. For Luis Bruni and Pascale Coquigny steps are the envelope of the real condense of tango. The most important thing is giving in to feeling the culture, the emotions, the sensations. Of course, steps are necessary, but they are the result of a game of two, in order to find pleasure and fluidity which are essential in a dance for two. Pascale and Luis will offer you a solid basis which will later allow you, to choose from the different styles and different approaches. The point is to teach an authentic tango, neutral of any style, so that everyone can progress freely. The classes are taught with historical and cultural references. Learning specific styles comes afterwards, once you feel the essence of tango, once it is part of you. Luis masters perfectly various styles which he learned in Buenos Aires with the old masters, such as El Pibe Palermo, Pupy Castello, Tete, El Turco Jose, Tommy O’Connel. It is the diversity of those approaches which allows Pascale and Luis to teach a tango away from its cliches but rich of the multiple styles.
He decides to give up his successful career as a ballet dancer for the emotions of tango: Luis and Pascale (who says: A good dancer is someone who allows me to express myself).

No need to register in couples for Tango fusion!
Knowing your body ( Body preparation for tango dancers)
This method was specially conceived by Luis Bruni for tango dancers in 1997. This technique is adapted to any style of tango and is aimed at all level of dancers.
By simple exercises based on respiration, relaxation, release of energy, flexibility of the joints, muscular tonicity, body awareness and stimulation of creativity, it allows dancers :
- to learn to take advantage of their capacities by a better knowledge of the body to reach fluidity in movement.
- to acquire good posture, balance, flexibility, and contact with the floor.
- to recognize and correct bad movements, which in short and long term lead to joint and muscular problems (back, knees, shoulders...)
- to learn to move with poetry, an essential point for a dancer.
- to recognize the physical demands of tango. For example : a simple pivot, the key movement in the evolution of structure in tango (sacada, boleo, giro), demands an unnatural movement on the body.
Complementary to regular tango classes, this method allows the dancer to improve according to his or her possibilities, to recognize his or her limits in order to exploit them with a minimum amount of energy and maximum efficiency. It is the opportunity to exercise individually all of the complications that come with dancing as a couple.
Suggestions: put on soft and comfortable clothes. It will be better if there is something on the floor as they will give exercises on the floor. You can bring socks and your tango shoes.
