Serkan y Dana Alasya, Tengo Tango (ACT)
Serkan Alasya: With an early background in Turkish folk dancing Serkan has maintained an enthusiasm for dance and music for over 25 years. After migrating to Australia from Turkey at the age of 17 he continued to
acquire new skills in many different styles of dancing and movement. He has taught Turkish Folk Dancing at folk Dance Canberra as well as workshops in the Blue Mountains NSW. Serkan began giving Argentine Tango classes in Canberra in 2002 when he established TengoTango as a dance school for Argentine Tango. Apart from folk dances of Turkey and various Eastern European countries, Street Latin, HipHop, Lindy Hop, Flamenco & Techno are some of the various styles he has experimented with. In Argentine Tango, however, Serkan believes he has found what he has been searching in his quest for pure movement.
Dana Alasya: Starting in dance performance at the age of 2 ½, Dana has sustained a lifetime of enthusiasm for music and dancing. Her interests have led to a history of dance performance, choreography, and teaching spanning over 2 decades. With formal training in contemporary dance, jazz (music & dance), funk, ballet and tae-kwondo amongst others, she continues to actively pursue her passion for improvisational dance and music by drawing on this eclectic array of skills in Argentine Tango. Dana has been a co-teacher and performer with TengoTango since 2004.
About TengoTango: Dana & Serkan have been dancing and teaching Argentine Tango together since 2004. Their style has been very much influenced by the newer generation of Tango dancers coming out of Argentina who have had taken the opportunity to visit Australia. While seeking to branch out into the more relaxed and consensual style of contemporary tango, Dana & Serkan want to build a bridge between the traditional and the new, recognising that the essence of Argentine Tango remains ever-present in the traditional. Recent public performances by TengoTango include being part of Argentine National Celebrations held by the Argentine Embassy, Tropicana 5, Rhythm of the Night, and for fundraising activities for Puente Austral to raise money for Argentina's rural hospitals. They are also thrilled to again be a part of the teaching faculty at Buenos Aires at the Beach for 2008.
