Sara Casotti
Founder and Teacher
Sara Casotti’s first approach to Argentine Tango is in 2007. She attends the “Academia TangoPuro”, directed by Alejandro Angelica and then she pursues her studies to become a teacher. She learns different styles and techniques taking classes and workshops, in Milan and in Buenos Aires, with dancers like Alberto Colombo, Mariela Sametband, Tali Gon, Aurora Luibiz, Graziella Gonzalez, Maria Filali. She also explores Argentine Folklore with Vidala Barboza.
Together with two friends she creates “Oltretango”, a non-profit group that organize social tango events and fundraising milongas to support charitable associations.
She considers Tango as an extraordinary opportunity to get in touch with an other person bringing all of ourselves and giving to the partner the same chance, a special dance where everything starts with an embrace which represents not only a physical connection but also and above all our taking care of the partner.
Gabriele Sassetti
Teacher
Gabriele Sassetti holds regular tango classes in various schools in Milan, Pisa, and Livorno. He trained with maestros Luca Trupiano and Alberto Colombo in Italy and Ernesto Carmona in Buenos Aires. Thanks to the latter, he also became passionate about Argentine Folklore. During his frequent stays in Buenos Aires, he perfected his skills studying with Mariano Chico Frumboli and Juana Sepulveda, Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, Horacio Godoy and Maddalena Gutierrez, and Bruno Tombari and Mariangeles Caamaño.
His approach to tango is based on a reciprocal listening between man and woman. Both partners collaborate so the couple can freely interpret the music, the true bond between the two dancers. While respecting their roles, both dancers can express themselves and, together, give life to what is not just a dance but a true world to share.
Federico Galli
Collaborator
Federico’s tango journey began in Milan in 2012, where he honed his skills with maestros such as Julio Alvarez, Alberto Colombo, and Lucia Conde de Ben.
Through his travels, he had the opportunity to deepen his knowledge with internationally renowned figures, from Chico and Juana to Carlitos and Noelia, as well as Jonathan and Clarisa and Zeynep and Serkan. His research focuses particularly on musicality, an element that pushes him to experiment and constantly find new ways to express his dance.
His motto? “Dance the music, not the steps.”
