Roxana Suarez & Sebastian are coming back to Los Angeles. Due to high demand and a very successful visit in 2018, we are thrilled to announce the return of this highly sought-after couple. During their previous visit, they were a sold out hit and had to decline many privates. We highly recommend that you register promptly as they will quickly book up!
We invite you to DIVINA tango weekend in LA which includes:
~ 9 hours of master workshops
~ 2 hours of women’s technique workshops
~2 hours of men’s technique workshops
~ 2 hours of guided practica
~ 4 Milonga Weekend (over 20 hours of social dancing)
~ ONLY 1 performance in LA ~ Gala Milonga on Friday Night
This will be their only appearance in the West Coast!
Amongst the top 5 highest in-demand teachers & performers around the world, Sebastian & Roxana have been featured at the most famous and prestigious tango events. Known as the most eminent representatives of the so-called young tango-de-salon generation, they have combined the greatest traditions with youthful energy and genuine passion. Their style is characterized by lightness and elegance, agility and precision. For them, what matters in tango the most is the emotional connection, and the quality of movement.
They both began their dance careers in their childhood. Sebastian won the World Tango Championships in 2005. Roxana, having been chosen the best young dancer in 2004, honed her skills at the Tango Styles Academy. In February 2007, they launched their joint dance partnership which would prove to be immensely successful. The charismatic couple gained attention in the community and with it came invitations to workshops and festivals all over the world. Since 2010, they have performed in theaters with the Tango Mas Tango Company. They also run their own studio in Buenos Aires, called “Ensueño”.

WOMEN’S & MEN’S TECHNIQUE WORKSHOP TITLES
Women’s Technique Workshop – THINK ABOUT TWO ~ Elements to improve the connection, developing consciousness of our body, preparing for the encounter with the other one.
A LITTE ABOUT ROXANA SUAREZ:
Always elegant and feminine Roxana learned to dance in the Buenos Aires milongas when she was just a child. She maintains a traditional and sober aesthetic, combined with a young and current vision of the salon tango. In her technique workshops she seeks to generate body awareness and explain the sensations and functionality of the movements. It provides students with tools that allow them to adapt and find both their own enjoyment and that of their partners. For eleven years she has traveled the world with her partner Sebastián Achaval, with whom she participates in the most prestigious festivals, giving shows and giving seminars.
Roxana has taught at several events that is purely for women’s technique: Mujercitas Tango Festival ~ Buenos Aires 2011 & 2012 , Entre Mujeres ~ Milan 2017, Tango Deluxe ~ Trieste 2016, Buenos Aires 2017, 2018, Lyon 2018
She normally teaches her technique workshops at the festivals she attends with Sebastian such as Torino Tango Festival, Bari Tango Congress, TanGo To Istanbul, Lisbon Tango Festival, to name a few!
Men’s Technique Workshop – THE FUNDAMENTALS ~ This technique class is based on the work of the main concepts in tango explored at a high level. Working about the pillars for the construction of the dance (walk, “ochos”, turns and changes of direction). We will start practicing the pushing, the resistances, the changes of weight, the pivots and the twist. Finally we will look for the fluidity of the movements in the turns such as crosses, “lápices” and “enrosques”.
A LITTE ABOUT SEBASTIAN ACHAVAL:
Dear tangueros, this a unique opportunity to study men’s technique with the one and only Sebastian Achaval. He is known for his precision, elegance, musicality, beautiful footwork ~ basically watching him dance is like watching a perfection. For those who do not know, Sebastian won the world tango championship in Tango Salon category back in 2005!
Men’s technique workshops are based on the work of the main concepts in tango explored at a high level. Deepening in the pillars for the construction of the dance (walk, ochos, turns and changes of direction) we will work the thrusts, the resistances, the changes of weight, the twists and the pivots. In addition there will be small orchestral observations in order to develop a better musical perception and put into practice the changes of dynamics previously explained.
