Full Interview with Alex Krebs, Part 2: Musicality

Tuesday, September 07, 2010

Since posting an article about my interview with Alex Krebs at Tangofest in 2008, I have received several requests to publish the fully transcribed interview. It is finally here in two parts (due to length). Revisiting this interview was a great experience; Alex is an excellent dancer, musician, instructor, and thinker with a great perspective on the dance. Part 1 covered how Alex fell in love with tango as well as his reflections on connection and flow. This second part covers his approach to musicality and his unique experiences with forming a tango orchestra and learning the bandoneón.

In case you’re not already familiar with Alex Krebs – or even if you are – here is a video of him dancing with Evan Griffiths in 2006 (Alex is the tall one!). Watch the video, then dive into the interview. Enjoy!
