Discover the fascinating world of tango argentino... 

The Tango Argentino is the authentic tango, as it was born in the nineteenth century on both sides of the Rio de la Plata, in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. The immigrants, inspired by the soft and nostalgic melodies, started to express  their nostalgic feelings  in a both passionate and seductive dance. As opposed to the European or standard tango, the Tango Porteño is a pure improvisation dance, that leaves lots of place to a permanent game of seduction and surprise. The music, rhythmic and melodic, is the starting point of a dance that combines  intimacy with a playful game of the legs. The Tango can be learnt at every age; no music or dance experience are required.

Since 1996 the non-profit organisation Al compás del corazón works on the development and teaching of tango argentino in Belgium. La Tangueria regularly organises intensive initiation workshops and at least 3 times a year (September, January & April) a  new series of weekly tango argentino classes is proposed.
