From the new Argentine couples, Natalia and Agustin are among the ones that had grown the fastest in the last years. Abroad they achieve their recognition thanks to their unique classes where they mix culture, art, history, musicality, dance, and technique, getting to transfer highly tango-rooted knowledge, without even using figures or sequences.
Having the opportunity to experience them in person not only offer you the possibility of living a unique and different experience, but also allows you to live the energy, freshness, enthusiasm, and personalized treatment of a couple who seek you to learn, have fun, evolve, get inspired and make you experience the sensation of being in Argentina.
The venue doesn't have restaurant service, but they allow people to bring food and eat there.
So the idea for the meals is the following:
Saturday Lunch, the idea is that we all bring something to share. If you can't cook something at home, you can also buy something easy at the supermarket, like bread, cheese, snacks, cakes, etc.
Saturday Dinner, there are very nice restaurante around the area where you can go for dinner, we can help you out in more details when we are there ;)
Sunday Lunch, you can bring something to eat at the venue for your own.
Coffe, Tea, and water will be available for free.
Beer, wine and cold drinks will be available for buying in the venue.

First month
Recognition and analyses on the four elements a tango composer can work with to create a composition. Conductors decisions and how to bring this orchestration to a body interpretation.
Second month
Analyses on the qualities of the sounds produced by the different musicians and how is the attack-decay-sustain-release (ADSR) curve of the sound.
Embodying the ADSR into the tango dance to create qualities of movements that match closer the intentions of the musicians and composition.
All Material is supported by
Historical moments that make those elements something important to represent in our dance.
Dance technical concepts in order to make the learning journey easier.
Plenty of visualizations for faster understanding of musical elements.
The final destination of the training is to create movements with meaning, dancing together side by side with the musical composition and instrumentation, boosting our expression thanks to the way we work with the music.
If the evolution of the course allows it, we will also overlay the stylistic approach, milonguero-style and salon-style differences, orchestras particularities, and decisions, to integrate into our dance.
We really believe that the best dancers we have seen or experienced had a great balance of many tango layers. They were not only good in sequences and steps or just good in musicality. There is a fully holistic approach behind their dance, which is usually hard to find as students. Why? Well, we think it is because all these layers are frequently taught separately and it is left to the student, to connect them.
Our intention of assisting in this hole of the learning process is what had inspired our workshops and classes worldwide.
In addition, at the beginning of 2021, we did a survey on what dancers thought was needed in the "learning tango journey".
The result couldn’t be more holistic! confirming the idea that sharing tango from a multi-layer perspective and creating sense from any angle, do make a change in students from any level.
Throughout the course, we will respect the interest distribution that came out from the survey:
Musicality
Expressiveness
Technique
Orchestras and History
Connection
Sequences/Steps/Figures
"We work to maximize each person's creativity, improvisation and freedom,
letting them find in tango, a comfortable place for authentic expression."
