I've been addicted ever since. You know how it is. 

This drug is so powerful because it makes you confident, sexy and free. You feel yourself. 

In 2007, my fantastic tango teacher, Lizelot de Stighter, asked me to assist her. That was the start of my career as a dance teacher. Since 2008, I've been teaching together with my wife Isabella Cremer. We continuously explore the dance, the music, and how to pass this culture on.

For me, tango is the wonderful opportunity, to become more of a man, more aware of male energy. If I'm honest, before the tango virus I was still more boy than man.

For me, a tango dance is authentic when these primal energies meet and communicate to the music in the language of tango.

Man with man, woman with woman, and the ultimate discipline: man with woman.

A whole man is aware of all his facets:

from the small playful boy to the powerful wizard, from the fighter to the gentleman, from the wounded to the one who wounds and he can play with that in life and in dance. 

But – nobody is perfect!
