Private lessons with Natacha Lockwood & Andrés Molina and Eugenia Parrilla & Yanick Wyler

Natacha Lockwood & Andrés Molina

Natacha and Andrés met in a milonga in Buenos Aires and have been dancing together all over the world ever since. Andrés founded the renowned "El Yeite Tango Club" in Buenos Aires. They dance in an original, elegant and very musical way - there is no dance without surprising moves, deep feelings and humour! Their lessons are based on a precise but relaxed technique, which encourages you to take the space for free improvisation.

Eugenia Parrilla & Yanick Wyler

Eugenia has been dancing tango for over 20 years. Before that she studied ballet and contemporary dance. Working with Mariano Chicho Frumboli, she became known worldwide as a dancer. Yanick studied industrial design, cabinet making, hip-hop, ballroom dancing and contact improvisation. From 2000 his passion became tango. He has been giving seminars in Argentina, the USA and Europe for more than 15 years. Eugenia and Yanick are excellent teachers, their shows are not only characterized by extreme precision, they are above all exotic and highly original!

Registration for private lessons

On Saturday, October 28, 2023, from 12:00 p.m. Natacha & Andrés and Eugenia & Yanick offer private lessons. If you have any questions or would like to register for a private lesson, please contact Sieglinde directly - either by email to sieglinde@tangoloft.de or by phone on +49 - (0)170 7021527.
