Kalman Bekesi

Antecendent:
Instead of dancing I have been done sports from my childhood. I acquired different systems of movements - wrestling, running, yoga, table tennis etc. My first connection with arts was music as a performer singing and playing the guitar. Several poems of mine were published.

My current work is doing and participating in educational researches and developments. As a recognition of my achievement, I was rewarded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Education, in 2001. I work as an expert and leader in several Hungarian and international projects.

Argentine Tango:
I tried some dances out in courses (standard dances, boogie) before, but none of them wanted to study more profoundly. I 'met' Argentine Tango in 2003 - since that time tango have become a lifestyle for me.

Argentine Tango is a folk dance in the meaning that improvisation and spontaneity is the main concern of it. Although in shows dancing choreographies is hardly avoidable, I always look for the balance between them. I look for what I have and could have, who I am and can become, and how to reach spontaneity, freedom, thorough understanding and creativity in every moment of dance. In creating my own dance style I got inspiration and support from different masters. I am working on combining the old and the new in harmony with my dance partner and with the music.

Passion and harmony - with a big emphasis on the second one!

Dancing and experimenting new ways of the dance is a self-realization process with my loved partner, Kamilla.

I started to dance when I was 10. As an ice dancer I learnt all the ballroom dances and ballet dance - adapted to ice.

Between 1995 and 2001 me and my partner won the Hungarian Championship in Hungary, then the Senior Championship in Croatia. In the international field we were in the top 20. I first met Argentine Tango during this period.

For private reasons I gave up dancing until 2009 - when I again met Argentine Tango on floor :).
