Isabelle & Santiago

We are an established Tango dance couple in Berlin, Germany. We have been developing a Tango style that starts on the traditional bases but also experiments with new movement vocabulary fusing classical dance, contemporary and different improvisation technologies taken from our backgrounds as professional dancers. As Tango teachers we are based in the city of Berlin but we travel around the world conducting workshops and performing.

Isabelle Rune was born in Stockholm, Sweden, where she studied at the Swedish National Ballet School. Later, she moved to Germany where she joined the Berlin State Opera House for many years.

Our Studio in Berlin

In May 2011 we open the doors of DSB, our own studio in Berlin. The studio is the house of our Tango school but also is a meeting place for professional dancers of the independent dance scene in Berlin. DSB offers classes in several dance styles and disciplines of movement for a wide spectrum of audience. Just click on the link and find out much more about DSB


Plans for the future

Parallel to our work as a Tango couple we aim to establish a group based in Berlin, composed mainly by dancers who know different languages and are willing to invest in a process of research and development of a singular style based on the fusion between technics and improvisation.
