The maxim “ The Tango Is an Embrace That Walks “ describes with such truth the real essence of authentic tango.

In the words of the famous bandoneon player, composer and orchestra leader , Anibal Troilo , “ There is neither new tango nor old tango, the tango is only one . Perhaps , the only difference lies in the ones who do it well and those who do it badly.”

Tango is an Embrace that Walks

Our objective is to be able to achieve the ability to improvise from the mastery of the porteño walk .

The art of improvisation , which is the true identity of tango, can only be achieved by learning the language of tango with its proper vocabulary , grammatical phrasing and proper codes .

Since the tango is a corporal and sensorial language , we need to learn body awareness , kinesthetic sense , proprioception, and balance in order to communicate to our partner its dialogue through the Embrace .

The objective of tango pedagogie is NOT to teach or learn memorized steps or sequences . On the contrary, we propose a holistic education that includes the learning of the technique of the movements characteristic of tango, the internal dialogue of the dancing couple , through the corporal communication via the Walking Embrace until the mastery of Improvisation .

The Internal Dialogue of the Dancing Couple,through the corporal communication via the Walking Embrace
