Our Philosophy - how to learn Tango

How We Teach Argentine Tango

Our goal is to share with our students the essence and unique feeling of Argentine Tango. Dancing tango means gliding across the floor in connection with another person and with the music. It is a powerful and emotional experience.

At the same time, it is very important for us that learning tango is enjoyable, allowing everyone to relax, have fun and share meaningful moments.

We know that each person has different goals when starting to dance. Some come to spend time with their partner, others want to explore the technique and details of tango, and others simply wish to continue developing their dance.


Technique

In our classes we work on leading and following, how impulses are transmitted between partners and how to find a natural and balanced posture.

Body communication is the foundation of dancing together.


The Embrace

The embrace is the heart of tango.
It is not only technique but also an emotional connection with the partner.

Each embrace is a new meeting between two people and their way of feeling the music.


The Walk

Tango is built from walking together.

On the dance floor couples move in the ronda, respecting the flow of the dance and the shared space. Tango is a social dance where many couples share the floor.


Musicality

Every movement in tango happens in dialogue with the music.

Each orchestra, composer, musician and singer expresses emotions that dancers interpret through movement.


Steps and Figures

In tango, steps and figures are not rigid patterns. They are flexible and can be combined freely.

When the foundations are understood, each dancer develops their own style and their own tango.


Dancing as a Couple

Argentine Tango is a partner dance.

Dancing together means creating a connection through the embrace, shared energy and body communication. When that connection exists, the music can be interpreted together within the embrace.

 

Everyone carries their own tango within.
Our goal is to help you discover it.
