Then he moved to Buenos Aires committing to a vast study of tango dance and developing his pedagogics. For over a decade he has been performing and teaching with Eugenia Parrilla in Argentina as well as Festivals around the globe.All these experiences have led them to a unique perspective and sensibility that allows for their excellence as much in technique as in their virtuoso and expressional Tango improvisations. With a particular sensibility for the music and a poetic and sensual connection they developed their attractive and dynamic dance style.Yanick is a certified teacher of Gyrotonic© and Gyrokinesis© and continues to investigate the human movement and share his insight in his generous and fun teaching:”I focus on the awareness of the posture and on finding lines of opposition in our body structure. This enhances the functionality of our own movements and allows us to work in an autonomous and relaxed way but also in a better connection to our dance partner.“Sara Thomsen began her dance training at the age of 14, training in Classical Ballet. After spending 4 years training in Ballet, Jazz, African, and Modern dance, and Kenpo Karate, Sara discovered Argentine Tango and began studying in 1996.In 2005 she started spending 3-9 months a year in Buenos Aires studying with every teacher she could: Julio Balmaceda and Corina De la Rosa, Jorge Dispari, Dani Flaco, Gustavo Naviera and Giselle, Jorge DiSpari, Facundo Gil, Eugenia Parilla and Yanick Wyler, Javier Rodriguez and countless others .Sara worked with one of the world’s most revered tango dancers, Pablo Veron for over 5 years on his methodology. His work is truly profound and the education that she received from this experience is unparalleled. The work entailed creating an organization to manage over 700 elements of tango, in addition to the innumerable combinations of these.In Seattle, Sara founded Tango En Vie School and brings world class artists to Seattle many times per year. She is now training interns and teaching Gyrotonic in Seattle. Sara runs two levels of dance teams which study for half a year and perform locally and abroad. She also brings students annually to Buenos Aires to delve deeply into the music, dance, and culture of the city that has become her second home.When not in Seattle, Sara tours with Enzo Hoces of Paris, Albano Goldenberg of Buenos Aires, and on her own in the United States, Canada and abroad.
