The Teachers
Ezgi Turmus
It's been several years since we, TiT, have been looking for the right moment to invite Ezgi to one of our events. With Asa, I believe we have found the perfect place.
Ezgi Turmus started to dance tango in the Istanbul University Dance Club/2004. She worked with many different tango teachers. She was interested in both roles of tango since the day she started tango, and she performed in many organizations. After graduation, she came back to Samsun and founded her community, which is called TangoSam, and started teaching in 2009. Then she went to Buenos Aires for a while and continued to improve herself, and again came back to Samsun for teaching.
Istanbul Mundial de Baile 2017 finalist, 8th place as a leader. Now she is an open role dancer who is currently known all over the world and gives lectures and shows.

Celine & Alexis It will be their second visit to Asa. They left a great impression after the 2024 edition, so it was natural to invite them back.
They are highly regarded social tango teachers based in Barcelona, Spain. Alexis, originally from Chile, has resided in Barcelona for 19 years, while Celine is from France. They have been collaborating for over a decade, specializing in social tango. Their work primarily involves weekend travel to promote their unique approach to tango, which they describe as subtle, comfortable, rich in sensations, and "very tasty." Their teaching is grounded in a thorough understanding of movement anatomy, musicality, musical interpretation, and practical tango techniques for social dancers.

We have known Carsta since many years. Since the very start of Totally in Tango we have collaborated.
Regardless of how long and intensively you have been dancing, Carsta will take you on a journey deeper into the Tango, encouraging you to expand your horizons, both in dance technique and in the interpretation of the music. Given the opportunity to explore both roles during the lessons, you can experience the dance as a whole. The broad range of images, used to explain physical processes helps you to develop your own tango.
In her classes, she will focus on Walz and Milonga.
Look forward to a refreshing, inspiring, and motivating class with Carsta!
Morning session, with somatic movement, by Annika
The morning classes aim to gently wake up the body and prepare you for dancing and hours of embracing. We will learn to detect and release unwanted tension before it leads to pain while also improving our coordination and body awareness. Classes will include both embodied anatomy and slow, conscious movements. It is calming for the nervous system and can also be described as meditation in motion.
Some of the benefits of releasing unconscious muscle tension are that you will be able to dance with less effort and with greater precision. And of course, when you can be more aware and relaxed in your own body, it will have a positive effect on your dance partner.
Welcome to explore!
