Vi gleder oss til å avslutte en svært aktiv tangohøst med en helg med Sergiy Podbolotyy og Olga Shangina fra hhv. Kiev og Moskva/Bergen. De har besøkt oss flere ganger og bringer alltid med seg nye perspektiver. Det blir kurs for både de lite erfarne og for de som har danset en stund, samt ett for følgere.
SERGIY
Sergiy Podbolotnyy started dancing in 2006 and since then he never stops learning, first as a dancer and then as a teacher. In 2010 he moved to Shanghai and dedicated 8 years to creating and developing one of the biggest tango schools in China – TangoGo, and Shanghai International Tango Marathon. He has been teaching, performing and dancing in Australia, China, Korea, Singapore and all over Europe. He also won Tango Salon Championship in China in 2015. Sergiy has been teaching with Olga since 2017. Together they have organized many courses in Bergen and Stavanger.
In his teaching he put priority on body techniques, since he believes that it is impossible to build good connection in a couple without strong personal technique. Sergiy tries to make his lessons fun and simple in order to be able to look at tango as a simple dance.
OLGA
Olga Shangina W. started dancing tango in 2004 in Tromsø, but later has travelled to Argentina and Europe for learning, getting inspired and simply dancing. Olga has been teaching in the local tango community in Bergen since 2013, and also in her own school TangoIntenso since 2016. Olga has a background in folk dance and ballet from her childhood and youth together with a musical school in Russia (piano). Olga is also a trained teacher.
Olga’s teaching methods are based on understanding how the body and muscles work in the dance to create grounded movements that also look beautiful. During her classes she pays a lot of attention to the density of the movements, spirals and elasticity of embrace. When she dances she searches for ways of expressing herself, the music and the moment she is in. She is fond of close embrace and believes that the embrace and presence in the dance from both the leader as well as the follower are the fundamentals of tango.
