Loukas and Georgia

A Journey of Passion and Tango

Loukas Balokas and Georgia Priskou went hand by hand to their first tango class in 2000. Since then and until today they continue work together as a couple. After years of practicing and exploring both improvisation and choreography, they have developed a personal style, characterised by musicality, alterations in the dynamic of the movement and intense dramatic elements. They love toying with the classical as well as the modern forms, mixing them. Their teaching is based on a clear understanding of the basic dancing elements, trying to provide all students with the necessary tools to create their own dance. Parts of their method are the profound analysis of body technique, the realization of tango structures and the connection of all above with the music. Loukas and Georgia are considered to be one of the couples mainly responsible for the distribution and establishment of the tango community around Greece. Georgia is also one of the first professional Greek tango DJs, still playing music in several milongas and festivals. For more than 20 years they keep teaching in all major Greek cities, maintaining a regular basis in their own tango studio, in Athens (Tangofix), where they welcome students from Greece and all over the world. At the same time they participate in important festivals in Europe and Asia. Every year they present their work in several workshops, inside and outside country, while appearing in many theaters, as members of different dancing companies. At 2019 Loukas and Georgia became members of the first online platform for live tango lessons (tangolive.tv) together with some of the most renowned tango masters worldwide.
