Marc Hussner was born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal. At the age of 21, he left for Sweden where he lived for three years. Restlessness and a great desire to travel brought him to quit his job, sell his belongings and leave for a South American tour. In Argentina he found tango and dedicated himself exclusively to this art-form. Marc trained intensively, studying with world-class teachers like Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne, Chicho Frumboli & Juana Sepúlveda, Andrés Amarilla & Meredith Klein, among many others.
The years that Marc spent in Argentina allowed him to rapidly progress to a high level, gathering a lot of valueable information as he grew. Known for his dynamic yet graceful style, Marc combines different influences to develop a creative and modern tango, yet holding true to its origins. He believes a good dancer should combine all different aspects of tango: connection, musicality, technique, vocabulary and history. As an addition to his tango studies and to support his development as a dancer Marc practices pilates, elongation, studies Alexander technique and body awareness method.
Krissy is known for her intricate footwork and playful musicality. Though drawn to the athleticism of modern tango dancing, her versatility takes her over pre-established style boundaries to be fluent in everyone's embrace. Her enthusiasm and laid-back approach creates an easygoing learning environment, where students feel relaxed and inspired. Krissy emphasizes the importance for both leaders and followers to put technique, creativity and joy on equal grounds.
