Georgia Priskou & Loukas Balokas
Loukas & Georgia went to their first tango class in 2000. Since then their life is bound to this dance. They have been constantly working with some of the most important tango teachers. Staying in Buenos Aires for a long time played a leading role in their dancing culture and evolution. After years of practicing and exploring the fields of improvisation and choreography, they have developed their personal style. The characteristics of their dance are the musicality, speed, alterations in the dynamic of the movement and the intense dramatic elements. They love toying with the classical as well as the modern form, mixing them. Their teaching is based on the understanding of the basic dancing elements, trying to provide their students the necessary tools to create their own dance through an entertaining method. They are considered to be one of the couples mainly responsible for the distribution and establishment of the tango scene around Greece. For many years they have been teaching in the major Greek cities, still maintaining their regular student basis in their Dance Studio, in Athens – tangoFIX
Recently they became members of the company ”Tango Secrets International”.
