About Isabella & Iwan
Since 2008 we've been a dance and life couple, running our own tango school:
elonga – contemporary tango.
Mutually accepting the uniqueness of our beings led us, from the very beginning, to cultivate our own unmistakable tango style, shaped by joy, freedom and a deep longing for connection. Two strong individuals merge into an impressive unity.
As dancers and teachers we've come to know various methods of body work and have continuously studied our own bodies through collaboration with physiotherapists as well as through yoga, Cantienica, the Franklin Method and acting techniques. Inspired by collaboration with other professional dancers, contemporary dance, stage and project work, as well as with students in training, the art of dance and the dancing body are our preferred fields of research.
Isabella
Already at age 6 I was on the dance floor, in a youth dance group for modern dance,
a mix of contemporary, ballet and Polish folklore.
After two years, an involuntary switch to the choir (due to my supposedly rare alto voice).
Commercial training and founding isabella's Art, studio for one-of-a-kind fashion,
are the focus of my professional life for now.
In 2003, dance found me again — tango.
In 2008 it becomes a profession.
Today it remains an ongoing research, a continuous study of movement, the dancing body and dance itself. Expanded through further training in already learned methods and new approaches, such as somatic dance, self-massage and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage, studies of feminine and masculine movement forces, my curiosity for unfolding stays awake and the interweaving of these fields stays alive. Dance and fabric intertwine: my further training in Japanese draping and cutting technique,
in which you follow the flow of the fabric, finds an echo in the movement of the dance
