SARA D'AJELLO CARACCIOLO
Sara started dancing tango very young and teaches it since 2002 across Europe. She studied and practiced many other body disciplines, choosing the tango as a preferential language in which these multiple experiences from different body and movement techniques merge together. Her tango is characterized by a physical and emotional depth, where dance become expression. Her work is focused on a balanced dialogue between tango roles, a deep connection in the body itself and with the others, space and music, find inspiration to move, give both technical and abstract tools to create a dynamic dance.
She is based in Naples - where she teaches regularly and organizes the Italian edition of TangoNeta international festival - and she also teaches frequently in countries as Italy, Spain, France, U.K., the Netherlands and Argentina.
In the musical field in 2003 she started the musical project ’Sulle rive del Tango’ - a selection of non traditional tango - which is currently at its fifth compilation, published and distributed across Europe and the world. The project consists of two weekly milongas, one in Naples and one in Milan, many deejays and people working together on the musical research, creating the ‘poetry’ of the project, and she is often invited as dj in many events and international festivals. As dj she plays traditional and alternative music, and she loves to look for “hidden” tangos in different musical styles.
