Out soon: Our film on Tango and Covid19

Tango without the embrace

The 2020 pandemic has served to make social dance a taboo. If physical distancing is what is meant to protect us, it’s also what stands in the way of creative and affectionate contact with others when we dance. Our meeting places have long been closed.

In collaboration with film director Julia Matyschik we would like to tell our stories, the stories of dancers who can’t live and share their passion for Argentine Tango anymore. We interviewed dancers from diverse backgrounds, amateurs and professionals alike, and asked them about their experiences with the current situation and how it impacts their lives. Ultimately, we aimed to portray how invaluable the world of social dance is while also on the verge of disappearing, if we won’t find solutions to current challenges to create a new future for social dances.

The film will be available as video-on-demand via Vimeo.

A little bit about us

We are Gaia und Leandro and we have worked together as Argentine tango dancers, teachers and DJs since 2005. When dancing we seek an honest and authentic connection by merging traditional and contemporary as well as lyrical and dynamic tango elements for a spontaneous, improvised expression.

Learn to tango with us

Come and join our tango classes in the heart of Berlin: Every weekday we teach tango to dancers on all levels, from tango newbies to advanced dancers. Our classes are relaxed and fun, and also offer challenges to broaden and refine your dance skills. You will find many opportunities for personal growth as well as meeting and connecting with other people. Most of our classes are “drop-in” and do not require registration or booking — just drop by and enjoy 🙂

All eyes on you: Focus on individual aspects of your dance and deepen your skills in a private class with one or both of us. Private classes are available in Berlin as well as during our workshop weekends and travels outside Berlin.

On request, we offer tango coaching classes to individual actors as well as film/stage productions to prepare you for specific projects involving tango dancing. Please contact us for references and an individual offer.
