Rumbos de Tango | Jenny
+ Ricardo
Rumbos de Tango To dance tango is to be entirely present and engaged
with yourself, your
partner and the music in that moment, but also to be part of a larger
community stretching from Buenos Aires, across the world, back to
the turn
of the 20th Century and forwards into the future. These connections,
threads, lives, paths are the inspiration behind the concept of Rumbos
de
Tango.
Jenny + Ricardo
Jenny and Ricardo began their professional collaboration in 2002. They
are based in Edinburgh, Scotland where they teach on a weekly basis. They
are regularly invited to give workshops all over the UK as well as
in Ireland, France, Denmark and Sweden. They have also been invited
to perform in many arts festivals and events throughout the UK and
abroad. Their collaboration with Pasodos Dance Company in 2003
and 2004 included sell-out performances in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival,
and performances in Theatres in Dublin, Palma de Mallorca and Lisburn. In
2003 they formed Rumbos de Tango and opened their studio night in Edinburgh. In
the same year they organised the first annual Bailongo! tango festival
in Edinburgh, the only tango festival to celebrate the flourishing
of Argentine tango in the UK.
They spend time in Buenos Aires each year continuing their studies,
practicing and developing ideas. Their performances in Buenos
Aires include dancing with Raul Garello’s Orquesta de Tango de
la Ciudad de Buenos Aires in the Teatro del Rivero (2006) and at the
milonga ‘La Milonguita’ (2005).
In the knowledge that tango-dance has weathered many fashions, twists
and turns throughout its existence, Jenny and Ricardo seek it’s
timeless elements. Always creative, always tango, their exploratory approach
is in tune with the dance’s improvised nature; innovative developments
from original roots. Their dance and teaching doesn’t aim to change
tango, but to develop it creatively to its very limits.
