Murat Erdemsel & Silvina Tse
Murats Tango journey started in Istanbul in 1998. He is known for his insightful, thorough and analytical understanding of dance. Murat's background in visual arts and music sharpened his senses enormously and today they form a perfect blend for musicality in dance and the movement of bodies through time and space.
Murat's teaching philosophy aims to provide students with valuable tools to take control of their own personal development. He is warm, thoughtful, entertaining and approachable to students. The style of his teaching is holistic in approach and clear in method.
He successfully combines technical and sensory exercises with fundamental concepts that lead to all challenging possibilities of improvisation and expression.
As can be seen in his own dance, he focuses on the origin of the movement that emerges from the connection of the embrace. Murat has created a unique concept that is characterized by musicality, playfulness, a balanced couple relationship and an awareness of social etiquette.
