After having nearly disappeared, Argentine tango is now knowing a revival throughout the world. But if that word often corresponds to the evocation of a dance, it is much more than that. That means of expression appears under other various forms such as music, literature, poetry, painting… It is a way of being. It has resulted from the crossing cultures originated from three continents. That fascinating art is in constant movement.
Tango, as it is danced today, finds inspiration on stage as well as in the milongas of Buenos Aires . It demands rigor and passion.
Genuine tango is, first of all, a dance of improvisation, and not a pre-establihed form of choreography. It requires sobriety, harmony and elegance. That can only be achieved by a rigorous work on the fundamentals and a solid technique. Therefore, each tango step has to be a tango in istelf.
