Enrique & Marion
They represent the evolution of tango as it has transformed throughout the 20th centurey. Their unique style is fostered by both their expertise in traditional tango technique & styles, their strong connection and their combining elements of milonguero, nuevo tango and contemporary dance. Their encounter in 2006 has generated a Tango of emotions, glamour, elegance mixed with great energy and dynamism. Since they started dancing together and created Caminos de Tango, Enrique & Marion emerged rapidly onto the international tango circuit and since 2007 have joined some of today's most renowned Maestros and orchestras for performances, shows and festivals in Europe and Argentina.
Enrique Ringa
Enrique discovered the world of tango in 1995 as part of his training for the theatre company he worked for. He immediately fell in love with the dance and started taking intensive classes in Mar del Plata and Buenos Aires. Within less than a year's time, his extraordinary commitment led him to be chosen to perform and tour with the regional tango selection of Buenos Aires. He started his dance career as a part time activity as he continued his training in traditional Tango, Waltz and Milonga as well as comtemporary dance, folklore and corporeal expression.
Over years, his maestros and inspirators have been Nito and Elba, Gustavo Naveire, Milena Plebs, Fabian Salas, Osvaldo Soto and Chicho Frumboli. He learnt from the old Milongueros of Buenos Aires as well as with Maestros of Tango Nuevo, which gave him a strong base of both traditional and modern tango.
In 1999, Enrique became a full-time professional dancer and teacher and soon started taking part to the most important Tango events in Argentina. He has taught and performed in various festivals, shows and festivals in Argentina and Europe and has worked with renowed tango orchestras and singers. Over years he danced with different partners among which Roxanna Umpierr and Juana Sepulveda
In 2006, as Enrique was touring France and Spain with Tango show, he was invited to give classes, seminars and help promote tango in the west of Ireland, where he is now in residence with his partner Marion.
Marion Krauthaker
Marion started dancing ballet and contemporary dance at the age of six. She later stopped dancing when she devoted more time to theater, corporeal expression and sport. Young lady of many talents, Marion also continued her studies in arts, litterature and education until third level and now holds two Masters and a Phd.
Her encounter with Enrique put an end to her long break in dancing and radically changed her life! She made her first tango steps with him and never stopped dancing since then. She immediately proved to be a talented dancer and thanks to an intensive training with Enrique in Europe and Argentina, she soon became his regular partner.
Marion became a profesional tango dancer in 2006 and was soon recognised for her excellent teaching methods. To date, Marion has worked in major international tango festivals, has performed in the most prestigious milongas and taught along with today's top tango Maestros.
