Argentine Tango

WHAT IS THE ARGENTINE TANGO

Roots

Tango was born in the late 19th century in the popular neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and Montevideo and came from a pool of European, South American and African elements, and in particular thousands of immigrants who flocked to the port of Buenos Aires in search of a better fortune.

Dance

"Tango es caminar con una mujer al pecho", " Tango is to walk with a woman in the chest".

Simply put, tango is a feeling that one can dance to, a feeling unique and momentary, a moment of happiness captured for a few minutes, as long as a tango lasts, but if you experience this feeling even once in your life you are constantly looking for it.

Academia del Tango

Academia del Tango was founded in 2000 and it’s housed in two different sites, 200 sq.m. and 150 sq.m. of a high aesthetic appeal, at the center of Athens close to metro station “Monastiraki” and train station “Theisio”.

The members of Academia del Tango have the opportunity to discover and learn Tango in two unique places inspired by the golden age of Tango and the interwar period.

Today, Academia del Tango, already 22 years old, continues its course, always remaining faithful to the magic of Tango.
