YVONNE MEISSNER (Amsterdam) starts to dance tango in 1987. From 1990-93 she studies Tango Fantasia (Vanina Billois, Gustavo Naveira), and after that Tango de Salon (Pepito Avellaneda, Susanna Miller, Tete y Maria) and Canyengue (Pocho Pizarro). >From 1995-97 she forms herself with contact improvisation, various techniques of Modern Dance and Alexandertechnique. She teaches the use of the torso and torsion, synchronization of the movement of the couple and interaction between lead and follow resulting in a conversation of bodies. Thus dance becomes the image of a milonguero: dancing tango becomes one heart with four legs. Yvonne Meissner teaches and performs since 1994 in first Holland, Belgium and Germany while she had a salon and schools in different towns in Holland. From 1996 she teaches internationally alone and with different partners (1989 Sitges festival). With Pocho Pizarro she works one year and teaches in different festivals (1999 Hamburg, 1999 Toulouse, 2000 Ithaca Festival) together with Miguel Zotto, Natalia Games y Gabriel Angio, Gustavo Naveira y Giselle Anne, Osvaldo Zotto y Lorena Ermocida, Pablo Ojeda y Beatriz Romero, Louis y Marta Grondona. During the last named festival she was invited to teach a special course dedicated to body techiques for tango: her speciality. She has taught and performed in different salons in Buenos Aires. She has been interviewed by radio, television and reviews. During the past 6 years she has taught all over Europe from Scandinavia to Turkey, France to Austria, alone and with partners. She partners Eduardo Aguirre since october 1999. In 2000 she taught for the first time in major cities in the US and has been invited for another visit in 2001.
