Cristina & Homer are visiting PHANTASTango! for the 5th time and that is for a good reason: They are simply our most favourite teachers! They are excellent dancers, brilliant teachers and charismatic personalities.
For Homer & Cristina Tango is a vivid, social and artistic form which derives from historic roots and is in permanent development adjusting itself to to as well as formed by the environment.No individual or group owns the tango. Their vision is a borderfree Tango world in which we respect and learn from the past, live in the present, and let the future unfold.
We
each dance our own style, even though stereotyped thinking wants to
make us believe otherwise. All dancers go through beginner,
intermediate, and advanced stages of navigation skill. There are four
branches of tango awareness: Self, Partner, Music,
Surroundings. A measure of one's tango success is how well his/her
style can adapt socially to other dancers. And last but not least the
life-cycle of a tango dancer includes student, Ego, apathy, and often
times repeats...
Homer & Cristina have been providing comprehensive video material, as well as filmed teaching session wich are available online and on DVD.

Thomas & Catalina Lotte-Fooken
Catalina & Thomas are together 20 years of Tango in Germany
making them Tango dinos here. They love to teach Tango embedded into a
ragtag crossover of Pilates, ballet and Franklin method - but they
still refuse calling it PibaFra Tango...
Although both love the traditionals of the Golden Era, from time to
time a ballad or a groovy Swing is as welcome. But for both the most
important aspect over all these years has been the feeling of love and
respect in the dance and around - old-fashined but sooo lovely! A show
of Catalina & Thomas is not necessarily a sad thought being danced,
but instead a happening dotted by some humourous tendencies.
In 2016 they said good-bye after 17 years to their beloved
LiberTangoSummerHolidayFestival which opens for us the oportunity to
invite these inspiring teachers to PHANTASTango!
Catalina & Thomas will also teach two bootcamps each confining 3 classes. These classes will gradually build up the topic. Of course, we recommend booking the complete bootcamp, but you can also book single classes of the bootcamps (at the beginning of each lesson a short summery of the previous classes is given for the new participants).
Bootcamp (I): Tangomatrix Revolución
If the leader transforms into a follower and vice versa
Dancing Tango is passion and intensity and this is based on a variety
of technical demands for both leaders and followers searching for
harmony and respect within the couple. Based on this idea we explore
new possibilites for communication allowing a creative dialogue in
which partly (and invisible from outside the couple) traditional roles
are exchanged and female inspiration can flow into the dance. This
sparks an exciting play of time, space and music, opening new
perspectives for your dance.
(intermediate and advanced level)
Bootcamp (II): Entrada - Enrosque - Lapiz
The art of beautiful turns
They
belong the most important and beautiful elements of Tango, but
simillarly they also are technically most requiring. You will lern
about the sheer endless varieties and combinations of these Tango
elements which can strikingly broaden your repertoire of turns. To
reach that goal, we will work on techniques that allow a stable axis,
smooth dissociation and a powerful pivot.

Tango turned her into a dancer.
It was first the music of tango and then the dance itself that made me
dance. I dived deeply into the world of tango in Basel. Its passion
braught me to the point of life where I decided to get a professional
dancer.
Contact Improvisation is a wonderful dance working
with the physical contact between you and your partner. Contact
Improvisation is a process in which you learn, forget, accept, realise,
digest and release. It's basically about open observation in the dance
without judging. Can I allow, can I let go, let the dance and the
movement grow? By impovising I get the chance to learn something about
myself: how do I act, how perform.
Using different body work techniques we will raise awareness for our
body tensions and how to use them more intentional. Thus, we train our
bodies through body perception.
We will deal with basic elements
of contact improvisation such as following the point of contact (slide,
roll, reach), weight (sharing the weight, Lehnen und Fallen), physical
listening (leading and following), centre (centre-to-centre connection
and lifts). I am looking forward to you!
