Murat and Michelle Erdemsel

Hailing from New York City and Washington, DC, Murat and Michelle Erdemsel
are part of a new generation of cutting edge tango dancers in the United
States. They are recognized as an elegant and playful dance couple, with a
unique style all their own. Their fresh style of dance instruction includes
a strong emphasis on the embrace, musicality, and improvisation. Using a
holistic approach designed to give students tools to grow on their own,
their tango lessons successfully combine the technical analysis of movement
and the sensory interpretation of music. Together, Murat and Michelle are
warm, attentive, entertaining and accessible to students. As accomplished
performers both individually and together, Murat and Michelle have shared
the stage with the masters of tango and performed to live music of several
important Tango orchestras, most recently with the internationally acclaimed
Color Tango Orchestra of Buenos Aires.

Murat and Michelle met in 2005 and
began their partnership quickly. They have chosen a style of living that keeps
them on the road. They live half of the year in the USA, the other half in Europe.
They have taught many times for the most prestigious Tango event in USA,
Portland Tango Festivals. And in Europe including TangoMagia, Brussels Tango Festival,
Murat and Michelle regularly visit Holland, France, Germany and Italy.
Their most favorite is spending time in Hawaii where Michelle was born.
