Ariadne Navelir Biography

An interview with Carlos Bevilakua for the Tango-magazine El Tangauta. The reader should return 14 years ago, by the time Aridna and Federico Naveira began their professional career, not yet suspecting it. Around this time, they began to help their mother - Olga Besio, when she gave lessons to children and adolescents, and continued to help her for about 10 years.

When Federico was 13, they began to work "seriously" - in their expression - that is, to dance in a couple on various performances and classes. In recent years, children have grown strongly both in the physical sense and in choreographic training, and decided to try his luck with other partners, possibly in order to maintain friendly relations between brother and sister.

After several shows with Lucas Molino and other partners, as well as performances in the role of a partner, now Ariadne is dancing in one of the performances in the cafe Tortoni with Fernando Sanchez and conducts lessons once a week with Greta Heker at the widely known address of Kocchabam in recent years, she taught in Italy, Switzerland and Latvia. Federico, having replaced half a dozen partners in less than a year, began to dance with Iness Mutsopapa in May, the world champion in the tango salon of the year.

He says that in April, he and his friends organized a small dance school of "ZASTLGO". In terms of Federico next week there is a tour near neighboring countries, participation in the tango week of Pulpo and a trip to Italy. Demonstrating the non -stepped thinking characterizing them, Federico immediately made a table of cardboard boxes to substitute for a tape recorder, and the conversation continued.

When we started dancing, we were 4 and 3 years old, respectively. While our parents rehearsed the production with a group of adult dancers, we secretly watched what they did, learned part of this choreography and at some point settled in the group with another couple. Our case is quite rare, because we never studied with a particular teacher. We always looked at the dance from the side, but at the same time knew it from the inside.

For example, we always participated in the classes that our mother led, but we were not students. We did not notice how our formation happened, like dancers. There is a category of people who turn to us for this reason, and not because we are doing something good. Usually, looking at what we are doing, they recognize us for our own merits. Of course, that we are children of famous people, there are advantages.

There are situations in which any pair of our age feels lonely. Father, for example, always asks the same question: what will happen to tango after many years? This usually leads to a long discussion. And she turned to us for this. Many people believe that children need to be taught as well as adults and make them do terrible things, for example, wear costumes, high heels for girls.

This does not mean that my teaching methods are the best, but over many years on my mother’s classes, I have learned a lot and can help correct this situation.

For him, it is more effective to approach this through the game. My mother has several interesting methods. She uses a lot of exercises to ensure that the children feel the music and learn how to perceive how the body of another person moves. In fact, from time to time we still dance with each other. For this reason, we understand each other so well when we dance. I know what he is going to do and he knows what I am going to do, but five bits ahead!

Last year, at the festival in Venice, we, for entertainment, began to dance with Natalia Ochoa. Everyone liked it so much that they freed the dance floor for us and, when we finished, the organizers asked us to give several additional classes in technology outside the festival program. We accepted the proposal, and all the women participating in the festival signed up for our lessons.

Later, when I turned 14, I began to dance behind the leader with my friends to find out how they react to the conduct and how they feel. It was very fun, but I never thought of doing this seriously. Later I drove women on different practices. I like the idea of ​​participating in the world championship, but not in the form in which it is being held now.

I believe that the jury should show forms with set points and the final assessment to everyone, as is done in other competitions. Participants have the right to know what estimates from which judges they received, given that there are rather irresponsible judges. I think it is unlikely that the judges will show unfilled forms, and now some of them simply do not fill them out. Only a couple of years ago it was a dance of people who are wise in life, and today I say to my peers "I dance tango", and they believe that this is "cool." And the most interesting thing is that many young people who come in tango are followers of the most traditional tango, and not the Nuevo style.

To meet a person and dance with him so that the dance comes to life is important. Why, you think, I go there so exciting!Now children spend up to 10 hours a day in private with a computer.
