Chan and Eugenia Park

As innovative and adventurous tango dancers and teachers, Eugenia and Chan made it their quest to promote Tango dance socially, for pleasure.

To share their experience of the sensuality of dancing tango, they have offered workshops in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Eugenia and Chan are known for their unique and elegant style of dancing in a close embrace, known as milonguero style, which has been danced in the crowded clubs of Buenos Aires for decades. As milonguero dancers they simple move together to the rhythm of tango, pausing only to convey their physical and emotional expressions. In their dance, there is no choreography involved, but joy, movement, connection, and creativity.

As instructors, Eugenia and Chan are attentive to their students' understanding of the union of movement between the man and the woman, as the man improvises, leading the dance at each moment, the woman follows him, not knowing the steps or directions the man will take next. To this end they have developed a unique teaching method of TANGO made SIMPLE to enable students to enjoy social tango dancing.

TANGO made SIMPLE is a systematic approach to achieve the joy of dancing tango with an emphasis on simple body movements, appreciation of the music, recognition of one's inner self and oneness with one's partner. The concept of TANGO made SIMPLE is based on TangoZen, which couples Zen meditation principles with tango dancing. That is, Eugenia and Chan encourage their students to realize and express their true nature through tango.

To achieve the moment of true self in tango a number of exercises are introduced to help students establish a keen sense posture, axis, grounding, breathing, balance, sensitivity, and ultimately, connection between the dance partners. Through the exercises the students are encouraged to develop a strong connection to the music, and to be creative in dancing in their own style rather than executing predetermined patterns.
