THE MAGIC OF TANGO IS A JOURNEY
THAT CAN LAST FOREVER!
Tango is passion, it’s a strong feeling, it’s emotion; a conversation with no words, a body language between two people who move together in a close embrace, improvising to the music. Tango is much more than just a dance… it proposes an intimate encounter, a way of communication and a way of living… It is pure connection, it is sensual and magical, it is healthily addictive and a blessing for the soul. Tango is a culture born in Buenos Aires, a city culture that many people around the world dared to get to know and fell in love with.– The magic of tango is a journey that can last forever!

“When you dance you can enjoy the luxury of being yourself”. (Paulo Coelho)
“Dancers are instruments, like a piano played by the choreographer” (George Balanchine);
“We should consider lost the days when we have not danced at least once” (Friedrich Nietzsche)
“Dancing is feeling, feeling is suffering, suffering is loving; you love, suffer and feel. You dance!”(Isadora Duncan)
“Dance can reveal all the mystery that music brings” (Charles Baudelaire)
“There are shortcuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them” (Vicki Baum)
