Today, Amanda and Adrian Costa are among the most influential and admired Argentine tango dancers and teachers of the Salon style, particularly within the Urquiza style.
Trained by Jorge and Marita Dispari, their teaching is inspired by the Milongueros who developed Salón Tango from the 1940s :
Luis Lesmo "Milonguita", El Turco José, Gerardo Portalea, Carlos Esteves "Petroleo", Cacho Mantagaza, "Finito", José Lampazo, " Puppy" Castelo...
Amanda and Adrian pass on this heritage with passion and authenticity.
Amanda and Adrian have dedicated the past 20 years to perfecting the aesthetics and quality of their art. The virtuosity of their dance seems to those who watch them disconcertingly elegant and simple. Their dynamic style, full of finesse and grace, is the result of a work of remarkable technicality and musicality. As a couple in life, their tango is a real dance of emotion, intense and sensual, without artifice.
Known and recognized for having been pioneers in the transmission of the socio-cultural aspects of a Social tango - study of the music, the codes of the milonga, the tango history- they have never stopped transmitting the tango with passion and requirement.
The style they teach is characterized by the search for quality, precision and elegance through walking but also through more complex figures. Excellent teachers and philosophers, every class with them is a real treat for body and soul.
Based in western France for more than 20 years, they are the leading Maestros of La Tangueria du Port in Nantes. There, they mentor and train the teachers on the pedagogical team and are present once a month to teach classes to students and offer workshops open to everyone.
They also regularly teach at the Abrazo Tango association in Angoulême, where they lead several workshops and classes throughout the year.
They are regularly invited as Maestros all over the world: United States, Costa Rica, Korea, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Korea, Brunei, France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Austria, Poland, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Tunisia, Morocco…
