From Myriam Pincen:

“My classes aim to instruct and encourage the dance of Tango Salón Tradicional Argentino, a knowledge that I have acquired over more than 30 years of study with various teachers such as Miguel Gutierrez, Eduardo Arquimbau, Mingo Pugliese, Pepito Avellaneda, J.C. Copes among others, with whom I not only learned to dance but also to teach dance, scene, and choreography.

In my classes we work on everything you need to dance Tango on a dance floor: posture, musicality, balance, cadence, styles, different orchestras, lead and follow, adornments, codes, floor craft, etc.

The final goal is that all can access to enjoy a good tango dance and also to transcend our Buenos Aires’ culture for the next generations.”

“Pablo” by Anibal Troilo y su Orquesta Típica, 1943.

Pablo Podestá, Argentine actor, sculptor, painter, musician and composer. The tango

Pablo Podestá

Singer, guitarist, composer and actor (22 November 1875 – 26 April 1923)

He was the younger brother of the Podestá, the great artistic family directed by José Podestá (Don Pepe or Pepino 88), the founder of the Argentine theater.

Since childhood, he learned all the circus secrets, and at age eight, he was already spoiled by the public for his acrobatic exhibits.

When his brother and guide, Pepe, decided to form a company, he became an actor. When he managed to make a name for himself, he started his own, premiering in his long career the best dramas of Florencio Sánchez and other great Argentine authors of the time.

Those who saw him act assured that he had no rival on the scene and always remembered him as the greatest of our actors.

José Martinez composed this tango in his homage.

Everything that is good in Tango dancing is the result of practice.
Regular exercise of walking, change of weight, pauses, pivots, turns, paradas (stops) and embellishments creates the foundation of your freedom while dancing.

Another aspect of practice is musicality.

The way to improve your musicality is to engage in active listening of tango music, knowing what you are listening to.
