Argentine Tango, to be enjoyed with every step, is a social, people’s dance of two persons. It takes a few steps to start ones’ Tango journey and each dancer can decide the pace and distance to be travelled. Isla Del Tango organises events to share knowledge and experience with anyone caught by the magic of the Argentine Tango.
