It was Argentine tango that led me to Buenos Aires. Twice already.
First time only 40 days. Clearly enough, to visit some milongas, learn from great maestros, participate in some classes.
At this time I did not speak Spanish therefore most of the time I was struggling with English or French.
But the second visit was different!
It was about learning a lot from the great maestro Carlos Perez, dancing in the Esquina Homero Manzi, being able to communicate and speak Spanish helped me a lot! During more than seven months, I met many fantastic people, great dancers, discovered amazing traditional and not so traditional milongas in every type of embrace.. I even participated in the Tango De Salon Word Championship in Buenos Aires :)
Ok, but what is this blog about? Everything that Argentine tango means to me!
It is about me, a milonga organizer, a private and group instructor, organizer of tango camps; It is about the embrace, going to ballet and jazzdance classes. My opinion about tango techniques, music, tango, classes, methods, steps, milongas in Budapest and worldwide.
Join me on this journey…
Now let’s see the posts!
The Legacy of Marcela Durán and Carlos Gavito
There are dancers we watch not simply because they dance beautifully, but because, when they step onto the floor, things we had only talked about suddenly come to life and make sense: embrace, presence, weight, silence, connection.
For many, Marcela Durán is that kind of dancer.

Mate and tango – an Argentinian drink at the milongas
When I first drank maté, I felt as if I wasn’t just tasting a drink, but being initiated into a secret South American ritual. Argentinians drink it everywhere — at milongas, on the streets, even while walking. :)
We have the 2025 Stage Tango World Champion
Tonight, in the heart of Buenos Aires, on the stage of the Teatro Gran Rex, the TangoBA – Argentine Tango World Championship continued. This time we watched the final of the Stage Tango (Tango Escenario) category, featuring twenty couples. The biggest question was: would the pair who won the semifinal manage to become world champions?
Keep Moving! — The Physics of the Ronda (and Tango’s Phantom Traffic Jam)
A Japanese experiment, a nameless hero, and the night when the milonga stopped. Recently I’ve found myself at several tango nights where, from the beginning of a song to the very end, we advanced only a few meters — the ronda simply stopped. If you don’t know the...

Tango and Toe Protection: Introducing the Magic Toe Caps
Have you ever injured your toe or toenail while dancing?
During one of my Wednesday tango classes, I noticed that one of my students’ big toe seemed unusually larger than normal. Surprised, I asked about it, and it turned out she was wearing a silicone toe cap. She had injured her toenail during a milonga: in a poorly executed ocho, the stiletto heel of her shoe struck her big toe.
