Florencia Marioni & Yerpun Castro approach Argentine Tango in a holistic, integral, organic way; the aim is to provide tools to understand Tango in a simple and clear way, without the use of force to communicate, but rather a deep connection. The philosophy offers a way of dealing with dance based on the uniqueness of each person.
Florencia Marioni lives in Buenos Aires where she teaches at the Escuela Mundial de Tango Gabriela Elías. As part of her European tour this summer, Florencia is teaching and performing with Yerpun Castro in the Netherlands, most recently in Zwolle and in Amsterdam.
Yerpun Castro, originally from Chile and a former musician, started taking tango lessons in 2007. His career in music and Alexander’s technique classes played a crucial role in his love for tango dance and his approach to teaching, focusing on connection, the quality of embrace, posture, sensitivity, aesthetics and musicality.
