Who We Are
Eduardo Bozzo
tango teacher - UK
A true 'Porteño from the barrios of Buenos Aires, Eduardo comes from a family with a long tradition of tango. He has been teaching Tango Argentino for more than 20 years. To Eduardo, tango is a form of expression that transcends dance and music. He believes passionately in tango’s intrinsic freedom of emotion and expression, respecting its cherished tradition while playing with the sensuality and creativity only tango can offer. In the UK, he debuted in 2002 at the London Opera House and Royal Albert Hall and went on to perform around the country. As a student, Eduardo was the first 'tanguero' to develop Tango Therapy, running a programme in Argentina’s most forward-thinking psychiatric hospital. Eduardo is a seasoned theatre actor, dancer and choreographer. In Buenos Aires he performed in mainstream productions such as "Gardel, El Mesias" and here in the UK he has choreographed productions at the Riverside Studios, London and Arnolfini, Bristol. Eduardo has taught and performed around Europe, Latin America and Asia and has been teaching in Bristol and the South West for more than 15 years.

Rebeka Kukolja
Founder & CEO - Croatia
Rebeka has been dancing for as far as she can remember. Her formal dance education started when she was 8, at a social dance school. Very soon she started competing and winning awards with her partner at various dance competitions. Her new dance adventure started when she enrolled on the Contemporary Dance School Ana Maletić in Zagreb. In the next 5 years, she grew as a dancer and dance pedagogue through various workshops on contemporary dance techniques, ballet, and dance methods... After finishing her secondary school of contemporary dance she studied psychology, led dance and rhythmics classes for children, danced for the Youth Ensemble of the Contemporary Dance Studio, and danced khatak (traditional Indian dance), Riverdance and salsa. Somewhere in that period, she started flirting with the Argentine tango, which grew into a true love affair 4 years ago, in the Zagreb Libertango dance club. Being an experienced contemporary dancer, she was immediately attracted to neo/contemporary tango. Today she is running tango classes at the Tango Experiential Club, organizing neolongas and the Tango Experiential Festival. She desires to connect her two great loves - dance and psychology.
Hrvoje Gebavi
Founder & CEO
Hrvoje started dancing in 2004, with Latin and standard dances. Many years of competing in these sport dances created the basis in which he incorporated elements of salsa, jazz dance, ballet... and tango. He started dancing tango in Italy in 2009. His dancing style was most strongly developed in Great Britain where he was influenced by contemporary/neo tango and Argentinian teachers. In his dancing style you can see all the dances he got in touch with. Together with his friends, he started Tango Experiential Club in 2014 in Zagreb, within which he has been running dance courses, organizing dance evenings and Tango Experiential Festival. Of all of his teachers, he has greatest appreciation for his dancing partners who had enough patience for his novel ideas and mistakes. Apart from dance, as of 1999 Hrvoje has been engaged in various self-development disciplines, which you can taste at the Tango Experiential Festival and Marathon Zagreb.
