TWO days Workshops with Monica Paz!
The milongueros I interviewed danced with these great orchestras of the best era of tango. They danced with these live orchestras playing in the same room, can you imagine dancing to Troilo and he is right there in front of you? Imagine!
I danced with these milongueros who were there, in this era. I talked with them and learned from them. Most of them are not here any more; but, I carry them in my heart and their dance is with me. I would LOVE to share my Tango heritage with you.

If you want to improve your tango, I invite you to a four-class immersive experience designed to create a real transformation in your dancing.
Let’s begin with a simple idea:
Dancing is interpreting music through the body.
Dancing tango in a milonga goes even further: it means interpreting music in connection with another person —sometimes a stranger— within an embrace, improvising in the moment. There is no fixed choreography. We move along the dance floor, adapt to the available space, and constantly respond to both the music and our partner.
To achieve this, we develop three essential pillars:
- Mastery of our own movement
- Clear communication with our partner
- Understanding of the music
In this four-class program, we will work on these elements through:
- Presence and lightness
- Elegance and comfort
- Musical interpretation
These sessions are designed to help you express yourself more freely and sensitively within the embrace, where —guided by the music— you will learn to give and receive energy, achieving a more fluid, harmonious, and authentic dance.
When: Wednesday, June 24 and Thursday, June 25. From 11:15 am to 12:45 pm and from 3:15 pm to 4:45 pm.
Classes will start on time. Please arrive a few minutes before.

* Last review: “I strongly recommend studying tango dancing with Monica Paz!
In the over 20 years of dancing and studying milonguero style tango, I have worked with numerous teachers. Among the few who stand out is Monica Paz. She was born into the tango culture in Buenos Aires, and has devoted her career to passing on all that she learned from the original milongueros. Sadly, most have passed, but even they could not teach because they ‘just did it’. Monica danced and talked with them over many years in order to figure out what they did to make their dance so special. She has developed an effective course of study that passes on their secrets.
