TANGO FOUNDATIONS is a concept born from what they consider to be the foundations of Argentine Tango. And also the desire to provide practical tools to grow one’s dance in order to access better connection and improvisation.
Alberto and Céline offer a journey of total immersion into the world of Argentine Tango, its language, its specificities and its culture.

The concept TANGO FOUNDATIONS consists of an in-depth study of the Fundamentals of Argentine Tango to build your dance organically, according to 5 fundamental relationships:
-The relationship with oneself (posture)
-The relationship with others (abrazo)
-The relationship with the floor (grounding-apoyos)
-The relationship with space (circulation)
-The relationship with music (rhythm-melody)

This concept will be the foundation of both workshops: Tango Foundations and Milonga Foundations, from the basics to the most sophisticated figures and combinations

Céline Ruiz

Céline Ruiz is a choreographer, Argentine Tango dancer, actress, videographer and author, born in Mons, Belgium.
Trained in Tango in Buenos Aires in the 90s, but also in dramatic art in Paris, her work constantly builds bridges between these two disciplines.
After many years spent travelling the world as a dancer-performer, such as Buenos Aires, Seoul, Rome, Tokyo, Istanbul, she turned more towards creation and teaching from 2005.
Her latest show, LA NUIT. LA VILLE. UN TANGO. LE CIEL (2024), a blend of Tango and theatre, aims to be a deep dive into the intimate world of Argentine Tango, its memory and its mythology.

Céline Ruiz also works solo, and is regularly invited all over Europe for her workshops of Followers-Technique .

Alberto Colombo

Alberto Colombo began dancing tango in 1993, primarily in Buenos Aires working with Gustavo Naveira during the peak of his experimental years.
He has been working professionally since 2000, and thanks to the talent and professionalism of dancers such as Teresa Cuña, Cecilia Gonzalez and Cesira Miceli, he has completed his artistic and professional career.
He taught with Mariela Sametband in Buenos Aires, participating in every edition of the Misterio Tango Festival and teaching at international festivals in Moscow, Hamburg, Ankara, Perugia and Istanbul.
Since 2015, he has collaborated primarily with Lucia Conde de Ben and Céline Ruiz, with whom he has participated in theater productions and international festivals.
A dancer and choreographer, he also has served as artistic director of several international festivals.
