Starting September 2019 we are introducing brand new Kids Performance Programs dedicated solely to kids and teens ages 6-17. Argentine Tango is a couple dance based on partnership. Therefore is not just improvement of one’s own skills that matters, but also ability to clearly communicate with one’s dance partner. To perform as part of a group, alongside other couples requires even more involvement. We aim for perfect synchronicity, alignment with music, expression and illustration of feelings, all while executing often very complicated figures, steps and sequences. Group Performance experience requires trust and commitment to your partner and to all your peers, which often leads to life long friendships.
