==================================

About Sabine:

Sabine Ibes has been dancing her whole life, she started focusing on Argentine Tango in 2003. In order to do so, she has been to Buenos Aires and followed many workshops by masters of Argentine Tango.

In 2005 She performed with Theatre de la Jeune Lune ,Minneapolis, in "Maria de Buenos Aires". She continues her education by traveling around the world and in the USA.

At this time she is teaching at the University of Minnesota and at the Social Dance Studio in Minneapolis. Sabine believes that while we are on the social dance floor the object is to have fun with the dance, and that you can have fun in exploring the opportunities of movement with a partner and look darn good doing so at the same time!

The Classes that she teaches are well balanced, inventive and fun. She is very keen on the fact that the student has to feel comfortable while dancing. A relaxed body and mind will create a comfortable connection, so the partner feels a sense of being safe. Sabine is an enthusiast of Nuevo (new) Tango , organic moves within tango while reflecting on the more traditional roots of Argentine Tango. This means that she focuses on a fusion of close and open embrace tango.
