In 2013\, I came to Auckland with a two-year travel plan\, intending to return to London after that… and I’m still here.\ nMy tango journey began 14 years ago\, an ordinary person with a 9-to-5 jo b and no dance background walked into a tango class in London. Since then\ , the love and passion for tango have stayed with me.\nAfter moving to Auc kland\, I began travelling to Buenos Aires every year to continue my tango journey\, learning from some of the most respected and inspiring teachers there. I also immersed myself in the culture\, engaging in conversations with the great milongueros and milonga-hopping (social dancing) most night s until the early hours of the morning — sometimes until 6am. Honestly\, I have never seen the morning of Buenos Aires.\nMy passion is to introduc e the new generation to this captivating and beautiful dance and to help g row the tango community. I began teaching tango in 2016 at Auckland Univer sity of Technology and now teach at Pasión Por Tango studio (¡Tango Otra Vez!). In addition to teaching\, I organise milongas\, DJ\, give private lessons\, guest teach at events such as Latin Fiesta NZ\, and perform at v arious functions.\nFor me\, tango is a sensual dance that comes from the h eart and complements the music — less is more.\nAbout the Classes\nI tea ch authentic tango as it is danced in the milongas of Buenos Aires and aro und the world.\nMy classes are engaging\, fun and informal\, with a focus on technique\, musicality\, and developing the partnership. The classes co ver the fundamentals\, giving you the confidence to dance socially with an yone at the milonga.\nTango is more than just a dance form\, and you will discover its depth throughout your journey with me.\n*What is Milonga? The term “Milonga” has three meanings: (1) A style of Tango\; (2) Tango m usic genre\; (3) A social event or location for tango dancing. Here\, we a re referring to (3).\nAuthentic Tango\nTango is a culture and necessity – particularly in the hearts of Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Tango becam e a symbol that reflected the music and folks' way of living and emerged i n the 19th Century. This style of dancing is social and unique in the genr e of music.\nThe beauty of Tango is in its improvisation\; there is no set sequence or steps to follow\; and we dance with different partners all th e time. No two tango dances are ever the same\nClass Benefits\nAs Tango is n’t built around learning rigid steps or sequences\, it’s both great f un and relaxing especially after a tough day of studying or working. It’ s also a great form of exercise both physically and mentally. It’s also a fantastic way to meet people and make new friends.\nDo I need to Sign Up ?\nNo sign up required.\nWhat should I wear?\nClothing that is comfortable to move around in. For footwear\, wear shoes that you can pivot easily an d don't stick to the wooden floor.\nDirection to the Studio &\; Car Par k?\nWhen you arrive to the address\, you will see a building named "Parisi an Building" on your right and on the left is a car park which is free for the dancers(**). Follow the road around to your right (Parisian Building is now on your left)\, you will come across a metal gate on your left\, wa lk down the stair you will see the studio.\n(**) If you park behind anothe r car in the car park\, please do not assume the owner in front of you is also attending the same event as you\; please leave a note and contact num ber on your windscreen so the owner knows where to find you or contact you .
