Steve Morrall
is
a life-long musician who has played piano from the age of 8 and a cacophony of
other instruments including guitar, double bass and bandoneon. He
first started to perform as an actor and musician in his teens. He trained as a fine artist and worked as a commercial artist/graphic designer for 25 years before selling his business to concentrate on dance and music. Along the way he has also taught horse-riding and IT and uses teaching skills he learnt from these eclectic roles. Steve teaches tango as more than just a way of dancing. It is an affirmation of mind, body and spirit to yourself and to your dance partner. It is the pleasure of intimate contact with another person. It is an emotional journey where dancers discover ways to be creative, to communicate without words, to respond and adapt in a constantly changing environment. For Steve, the real joy of dancing, playing and teaching tango is centred around people. In contradiction to current social trends of exclusion and indifference, tango is based on social interaction that is based on the body and is accessible to anyone. It is a conundrum that reflects life - sometimes it is good, sometimes it is indifferent, sometimes it is bad. He has taught Argentine Tango since 2000, leading classes and workshops in the UK and Europe. He and his wife (and dance partner) Debbie run the teaching and events company www.TangoUK.co.uk which offer workshops for all levels of tango dancers, including: Tango Toolkit for beginners Tango Tangk for intermediates, and Tango Bodyshop for all levels He has also written a number of articles on tango which can be found online. |
