Melina Sedó was born in London to a German mother and a Spanish father. So - like the tango itself - she is international. Melina has been dancing since her early childhood. After exploring ballet, modern dance, standard and latin ballroom dances as well as flamenco she finally discovered tango and fell under its spell.
Melina is a psychologist and had been working with young people for many years before finally deciding to pursue tango exclusively. She has explored tango music intensively and has made a name for herself as a tango DJ.
Detlef Engel is German and brings the analytical thinking of an engineer to tango. His perceptiveness is remarkable. He pinpoints the source of problems which plague a student and hinder progress exactly. This is astounding considering that Detlef has never seen a classical dance school from the inside - as if he had saved all his energy for the tango.
Detlef´s second angle of approach is through music. During his pre-tango life he played the saxophone, and today this training enables him to translate the smallest nuances of music to movement.
