What is a workshop?
In a workshop, students work on key tango movements and concepts in a concentrated amount of time. We offer workshops over the course of one afternoon/evening, an entire weekend, or over the course of a month. No partner necessary. Pre-registration is highly encouraged for each workshop to ensure there is proper role balance for each workshop. We will make every attempt to have an equal number of leaders and followers.

We started dancing tango in Zagreb, Croatia in 2002 in a small group of enthusiasts curious about this “new” dance. Some five years later we began giving regular lessons at the Tango Argentino Zagreb dance school. Our first and most influential teachers were Pablo Rodríguez and Noelia Hurtado. Later we continued to study with Noelia and Carlitos Espinoza. We also studied with Federico Naveira and Inés Muzzoppapa, Bruno Tombari and Mariangeles Caamaño and Chicho Frumboli and Juana Sepúlveda, among others.
Since 2014 we are working with tango professionally, holding workshops and performing all over Europe (Amsterdam, Minsk, Florence, Karlsruhe, Genova, Budapest, L´Aquila, Freiburg, Treviso, Poreč, Mantova, Halle, Sevilla, Lisbon, Procida, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Reykjavik etc.). In 2018 we have started to work in North America, Asia and Australia.

Their dance careers started long before meeting, then Claudio asked Helena to dance with him and, well the rest is history. Claudio says “After that, love blossomed.” Now they are one of the most sought after couples to perform, teach and Judge at International Festivals, Events and Important Competitions Worldwide. Los Villagra have been touring extensively in all America, Europe and Asia since 2014. They are known not only for their elegance, precision and musicality, but also for their unique signature method “The Spiral Technique” created and developed by them. Every year more and more followers show respect and admiration for their amazing pedagogy that stems from their passion, dedication and respect to all the traditions of Argentine Tango. Although Tango has evolved through the years, Los Villagra remain dedicated to the Tango they know and come to love – the Tango that emphasizes embrace, walk, musicality, feeling and the traditional milongueros codes.

Workshops, Privates, and Performance at The NYC All Night Milonga.
Together since 2009, they believe that the connection, musicality, and technique are the keys to fully appreciate the beauty of Tango. In their classes they want to concentrate on how to be comfortable inside the embrace, based on the logic and naturalness of the movement. They travel all around the U.S. as well as abroad (Canada (BC areas), Mexico, Poland, India, Italy, etc…) to perform and share their tango knowledge at festivals and weekend workshops. With their athletic background and other dances previous to tango, one can easily see the coexistence of traditional tango movements and philosophy working in symmetry with a nontraditional influence, the end result is an eye-catching and entertaining performance.
In Chicago, their classes are taught with an eye on encouraging and nurturing individual artistic styles while at the same time stressing the core movements and strong values of traditional tango. Their infectious energy and love of the dance has created a large following of students in Chicago and the surrounding area. They are the founders of 312 Movement & 312 Tango, which organizes events (monthly milongas and weekend workshops), djaying, performing, and teaching. When they are in their home town (Chicago), you can easily find them supporting various tango events and social dancing at one of the weekly/monthly milongas.
Most recent 2022 teaching/performing travels entail - 4th Holiday Tango Weekend (Dallas), Tango Maya Festival (Cancun), Tango on the Rocks (Denver), and various weekend workshops at different cities/communities. They also created an annual festival in July (since 2017) – Windy City Tango Festival.

Sofia Saborido (Buenos Aires) is a delicate and intense dancer, a gem of the new generation of dancers. With great quality of movement and musical richness, she builds dance from a refined and sensitive connection. Highly appreciated for her teaching, she has taught throughout Europe since 2006 during courses, seminars and tango festivals.
Tango dancer and teacher with a broad background in theater, classical, modern and jazz dance. Great-granddaughter of Enrique Saborido (dancer, musician and composer of very famous tangos such as La Morocha and Felicia among others), Sofia discovered tango at the age of 10. At 12, she joined the young tango ballet “La Plata”. In 2000 she participated as a dancer in the dinner show “La Cumparsita” and on Sundays in the Plaza Dorrego show in Buenos Aires. In 2006 she won fourth place at the tango championships in Buenos Aires. Between 2009 and 2010 she participated as a dancer in the French show “Tango Argentique” presented at the Avignon theater festival. Since 2006 she has developed an intense teaching activity in Europe, being invited to teach in France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Greece, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Pablo Inza (Buenos Aires) is currently a reference in the world of tango thanks to his synthesis of traditional and contemporary styles. Known for his creativity, he constantly seeks to push the boundaries of tango. His great analytical skills as well as the relationship he establishes between movement and music make him an excellent teacher. Both simple and complex, he builds his dance from a very fine connection. Frequently invited to major European and North American festivals, Pablo has traveled the world since 1999 as a choreographer, dancer and tango teacher.
Dancer, choreographer, director and tango teacher. With training in contemporary dance, theatrical interpretation and directing, he began tango in 1992 with “amateur” milongueros but also with prestigious maestros. He participates as a dancer and choreographer in numerous tango shows both in Argentina and internationally. Since 1999 he has been invited to teach at the most prestigious festivals. As a director, he created: “Radio Cabulero” (at the Bergen International Festival 2002, in Norway), “El arte de amar” (Tangomagia VI 2003, in Holland). In Buenos Aires he directed “El camión” (2001-02), “Matambre” (2003), “Metrónomo” (2004), “Living” (2008) and “En el abrazo” (2012). Between 2004 and 2009 he was director and artistic director of Cambalache (festival which fuses tango with theater and contemporary dance). He is also one of the creators of Practica X (2004-2014) which was among the busiest practices in Buenos Aires.
