Pieter

had his first tango lesson with Eric and Komala in 2003. He has been hooked ever since! In 2010, he met Anneke and stayed together in both tango and in life. In 2012 they started teaching together. For Pieter, the tango is about connection and creativity, playing with music, space and each other.

Anneke

tried all sorts of dancing, such as ballroom, bellydance and medieval dance, before finding a home in tango in 2002 with Komala and Stefan. Teaching the Estudiantes with Pieter, she hopes to spread the joy of dancing to others. The rhythmical percussion of a candombe always gets her running for the dance floor.
