Loukas Balokas and Georgia Priskou
Loukas & Georgia are a match made in heaven both in Tango and real life. After years of practicing and exploring the fields of improvisation and choreography in Buenos Aires and in Greece, they have developed their own 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 the chief architects of a thriving tango community in Greece. “Tango Fix”, their Tango school is the most popular one in Greece.
