about us
Two Flame Tango was born from the desire of two artists to bring simplicity into their dance. We created a school that explores the philosophy of movement as much as the expression of it.
We offer courses for creative individuals that would like to study artistic principles through the dance of tango.
Two Flame does not teach flashy, stage or performance tango. Instead, we teach an intimate dialogue of body language.
Our Vision
1. A Somatic Tango Community
We focus on the direct experience of the body because everything else comes from there. By being more comfortable and skillful in your movement, you will be more comfortable and skillful in every aspect of your personal and social life.
We come here to study ourselves through the other. We believe self development can be fun, accessible, social, and easy.
In dance you dissolve: the dancer disappears and only the dance remains. Dance is one of the deepest meditations possible.
– Osho
2. An Integrated Arts Education
Tango provides us with an artistic medium to develop several skills at the same time.
We learn how to fine tune our body in motion.
We learn musical skills and how to play this instrument of the body with rhythm and melody.
And we also learn interpersonal skills. Tango is an opportunity to bring your best self to the person in your arms, which is a skill that needs practice.
“Learning is movement,
from moment to moment.”
– Krishnamurti
3. It's Better with Everyone
Statement of Inclusion.
We welcome everyone seeking greater embodied freedom. This includes all races, colors, religions, sexes, gender identities or expressions, sexual orientations, national origins, genetics, body types, abilities (visible and invisible), ages, immigrant statuses and economic statuses.
“The only thing you have
to offer another human being
is your state of being,
in the moment.”
-Ram Dass

My story is a story of hope for those starting to dance or thinking about it. There are numerous difficulties that an adult dancer faces. But success is possible.
