Clase Magistral por Carlos Copello
Dance Lessons and Seminars / AdvancedTienda HarrodsSequences of Antonio Todaro
Everything a tango dancer may wish for, Carlos Copello
accomplished it. He toured the world alongside the companies Tango Argentino, Esquina Carlos Gardel, Tango Pasión and Forever Tango; performed with Mariano Mores’s orchestra, the Sexteto Mayor and the Sexteto Tango; shot films under the direction of Robert Duvall, Wong Kar-Wai and Sally Potter; and shared the dance floor with Carmencita Calderón and Valeria Mazza. A disciple of Todaro, today Carlos Copello passes on his instructor’s
dance secrets. Todaro was a model of tango dance classicism, taking traditional tango to the limit of its technical possibilities without losing its very essence. He trained almost all currently established dancers.

Clase Magistral por Miguel Ángel Zotto
Dance Lessons and Seminars / AdvancedTienda HarrodsGiros and enrosques (turns and twists)
Miguel Zotto is one of the most important dancers of his generation. He took part in Tango Argentino and later founded, alongside Milena Plebs, the company Tango x 2, a landmark of the 1990s that gave rise to a cliché-free style that was exported to the whole world: a “for export” style of which the full-blooded Porteños approve. With an over twenty-year career, the company keeps growing and captivating audiences worldwide. Zotto’s dancing is elegant and playful, two features of Buenos Aires men which, when delivered moderately, characterise the good tango. This is an ideal opportunity to learn from a great artist who rarely gives lessons.

Clase Magistral por Juan Carlos Copes
Dance Lessons and Seminars / AdvancedTienda HarrodsTango lesson
An illustrious milonguero and acclaimed figure of the stage tango, Juan Carlos Copes is not only a dancer and choreographer but also an established teacher. The secrets of his style, his characteristic figures and his unique choreographic language have drawn the attention of the followers of the genre for decades. In his own words: “There is no person in the world, and there will never be, who holds the truth about tango-dance, for, as it is a means of expressing feelings, it cannot take a specific shape. For that reason I do not like being called a teacher. One can get to be a guide for those who feel tango and wish to dance it, regardless of their age. In that case then, one can help, lead and support that passion for something so noble, so pure, so Argentine.” Among his innumerable students are Robert Duvall, Liza Minelli, Julio Bocca and Eleonora Cassano.

Clase Magistral por María Nieves y Juan Manuel Fernández
Dance Lessons and Seminars / AdvancedTienda HarrodsTango lesson
Rather than a conventional lesson on dance techniques, this will be the occasion for everyone to meet María. A unique opportunity to get to know the most improtant dancer nowadays. From the milongas and the slums all the way up to the most prestigious theatres worldwide, María Nieves, together with Juan Carlos Copes, laid the foundations of contemporary tango as art and entertainment… and they managed to do so without role models and without ever leaving the neighbourhood. In 1983, they put tango in the world’s spotlight as the leading couple of the show Tango Argentino. This did not happen by chance, but as a well-deserved recognition for an over 30 year career in Argentina, from their first, successful steps which in 1951 lead them to win a dance contest after being acclaimed by an audience of ten thousand and later on, in 1952, to the creation of the Conjunto Juvenil de Tango Moderno (Modern Tango Youth Ensemble), from which stemmed every tango company touring the world today.
