Pequeña – Guests & Classes

This is where we present our guest teachers and djs. All are social dancers who will actively participate in the event. 

Teachers @ Pequeña 2025

This year, we are trying out a new class format: All classes are included in your Pequeña participation fee, so you don’t need to register in advance. If you are a single-role dancer, we recommend showing up with a partner. As a double-role dancer, you are of course more flexible. Yes, this might lead to super full classes, but even better: You get to practice in real-life circumstances! 😉
Melina & Detlef – Tangokombinat hosts and instructors since 2001 – will be teaching alongside their Tango Teacher Training graduates. Be prepared for three fun and informative classes!

Ramona & Imme
Ramona Steckermeier and Imme Oldenburg are both seasoned double-role dancers. They have graduated from the TTT in 2015 and have been teaching together ever since.

Their class: The Encuentro Survival Guide / Friday, 18.30-20.00
Make the most of your tango and have a gorgeous encuentro, no matter if you are a follower, leader or double-role-dancer. We’ll practice the invitation by mirada & cabeceo, the movement and fluidity in the ronda, as well as mindful behaviour on and off the floor. This class is a real icebreaker. Don’t miss it!

Laurent Riesterer
Laurent is a super musical dancer from Bordeaux, France. He has graduated from the TTT in 2022 and has been visiting our events ever since. Laurent is an accomplished double role dancer and has recently started offering classes in his home town.
He will be teaching together with Detlef on Saturday.

Laurent’s class with Detlef: Speed Up! /Saturday, 12.00-13.30
