“I wish I had been exposed to Sara’s and Ivan’s methodology 14 years ago. But the next best time is now. After four wonderful days with them in Croatia, I can now clearly see and understand the origins of my mistakes and the path to improvement. I’ve met, learned from and spoken with hundreds of tango teachers, but Sara and Ivan are in a category of their own. I learned what does what and why. I am forever thankful.”

“Ivan and Sara totally revolutionized the way I dance, think, and teach about tango. I have been stuck for years with bad habits I didn’t know how to solve or even knew I had. On top of that, the common tango exercises I did were only detrimental. Thanks to their deep knowledge of technique and tango as a whole, I now have a far better understanding, my dancing has improved dramatically, and I see the same progress in my students.”
