Andy & Ilona are very dedicated teachers, who care more about make their students have the right foundations in tango, instead of making money out of them with useless steps . Their love for Argentine Tango is shown in every lesson, where they immerse you not only in the technique of the dance, but in the feeling that tango provides in the embrace. Their one on one assistance is always a plus each student can receive. I personally took lessons with them back in my beginnings of tango life, I am fortunate they rescued me from my first 3 years wasted on learning the wrong foundations and lost in steps. Always will be grateful for the time they spent helping me to improve my dancing back in those years.
I have been going to this class at El Abrazo with Ilona & Andy for three years and I have been very happy with the experience. It has several things going for it that I have come to believe are necessary for a really good dance class. Firstly, the teachers' knowledge of the dance is quite good. They can talk knowledgeably about both its history and current trends, and they are clear about who they have learned from themselves. In addition, they have, in the time that I have worked with them, continued to learn from others to refine their own dance. Secondly, they are active and connected with the community. The teachers participate in events around town beyond those that they organize, and I have found that I can talk to them and get honest information about what is happening. Thirdly, there is the dance instruction itself. This instruction is based around understanding the fundamentals of the movement of the dance, rather than around passing out a set of canned figures that give the illusion of complexity. Not only does this breakdown of movements into their basic parts help me come to a better understanding of the movements, and not only does it let me adapt my movement to express the music as I hear it, but it also lets the teachers personalize the instruction more than I would have expected in a group class — students with more experience are simply given more to work on. In fact, this type of instruction allows the teachers to be very flexible to a student's individual needs. I have found that the class has been very good for helping me develop and work towards my own dance goals as I learn. I have taken other classes and workshops, but I find that the apparent basics I learn in this class are always pertinent — and more so, not less, as I learn more. I would definitely recommend it.
I've gone to a couple classes and I've always had fun. The teachers Ilona & Andy are really helpful, I met a lot of interesting people, heard great music and above all else I learnt some new moves. I can't wait to take more classes in the future.
