PABLO INZA & SOFIA SABORIDO fra Argentina er begge dyktige og erfarne pedagoger, sceneartister, koreografer og skuespillere. Pablo og Sofia har hver for seg hatt stor suksess med opptredener og undervisning verden over i mange år. Etter at de slo seg sammen i 2013 er de i dag blitt et av tangoverdenens mest kjente og skattede tangopar. Vi er veldig glade og stolte over å ha fått dette etterspurte paret til Bergen!
After decades of teaching and performing around the globe, Pablo and Sofia has become an international point of reference on the world tango scene. Refined pedagogues, performers, choreographs and actors, Pablo and Sofia are accomplished artists who partnered in 2013, creating one of the most renowned couples that Argentine tango presently has. We are happy and proud to host this cherished couple in Bergen!
Pablo Inza (Arg) is one of the present day´s tango scene’s most influential figures and has won respect worldwide for his innovative and creative style: rich in contrasting dynamics and playful musicality. An excellent teacher with a great capacity for analysis and an innate sense of musicality, Pablo’s classes are popular amongst dancers of all levels.
Sofia Saborido (Arg) is a delicate yet intense dancer. She has an extensive background in theatre, ballet, modern and jazz dance. The deep musicality and quality of movement in her dancing is based on a refined and sensitive connection.
Pablo and Sofia`s philosophy:
Vision
“In improvisation we trust”. About tango, we love the possibility to build the dance through small moments. Even if we use patterns while dancing, we challenge the couple to decide step-by-step what will come next. We believe in the real improvisation.
Classes
In our classes, the dancers will work on awakening the body awareness and connection in order to develop the physical dialogue within the couple. Our technique work doesn’t only have an aesthetic purpose, it rather helps to find the comfort of the dancers in a relaxed and sensitive embrace. To stimulate the improvisation in your dance, we focus on short and useful situations rather than long sequences.
Goal
We provide students with useful information to help them develop a personal and creative dance, encouraging the diversity that we so much love about tango.
