Meet Agustina and Meg
-
Agustina works regularly in Buenos Aires and all over the world. She started dancing tango more than 26 years ago, when she was just a child, studying with the most famous milongueros.
As time went by, she gained experience in this and other artistic disciplines, until she discovered her passion for teaching. She has participated in tango festivals, special workshops and classes in schools in Europe, Australia and Asia.
Her classes have the perfect dose of organic innovation, aesthetics and a deep-rooted commitment to the tango tradition, which confers her own style that is as easy to recognise for the amateur eye as for the expert. Committed to the transmission of knowledge, the pedagogy of movement and the dissemination of a popular culture, she has developed her own didactic material in audiovisual format available to all. By virtue of study, craft and a magnetic sense of humor, Agustina is internationally recognized for the quality of her movements, her unique musical interpretation and her generous personality.
She currently works on her own and with other dancers with the aspiration of expanding the content of an unlimited dance in a variety of ways. Developing presentations, workshops for couples and for women who want to learn consciously the functionality of the bodies to enjoy this social dance regardless of the style they dance.

"Feel so privileged and grateful to have had such a wonderful tango experience with you and you amazing team of dancers. Have felt nervous, unsure, hesitant and overwhelmed but thanks to your incredible teaching and support, I feel that I have gained invaluable insights into the foundations of tango, my embrace and connection. I'm very grateful for the added advice and guidance from you and the lads, let alone the chance to dance with such fabulous tango experts. The milongas were all great and so well chosen for our group and I'm so happy to have seen, heard and felt a truly authentic and local adventure in BA.
Can't thank you and the team enough for such an incredible 2 weeks."

Honestly, I think I'd rate the experience 10 out of 10. I've been trying to think what I might change, or want one differently if I returned, but I can't come up with anything.
Before the program I thought only 7 days of lessons wasn't a lot and would have preferred with less rest days. And while I would have gladly danced every day of the program if it was available, in hindsight I can see the value of the rest days.
I would definitely want to include private lessons again to make the most of my time over there. And the milongas were wonderful experiences.
Speaking of milongas, I thought they were brilliantly chosen, and I enjoyed each one I went to.
To the dancers, I can only complement your choice in friends! A really wonderful group of people and fantastic dancers on top of that. They challenged me, but always in a way that kept me feeling confident. I can't express enough what wonderful people and dancers they are and how important they were to the success of the program.
For me, the main strength and benefit of the entire program were the practica sessions with the dancers. I wish I could do them every day or even just every week! The benefit of dancing with someone so much better than you can't be understated. I miss those sessions so much.
From an accommodation point of view, I thought it was fantastic. I loved having the lessons at home, no need to travel.
And lastly, thank you for your support o me through the program and all the time you spent patiently teaching me. -
