""I came thinking I would be the worst of the group.. And actually, understanding the music, the different musicality, the feeling, and practicing each one, you build on more dance experience and you feel ‘oh, I can do this’. Now, I feel much more confident”
(ITW 2019)
Alessia
"the musicality and explanation about how it all worked and came together… that really has helped me a lot to enjoy the emotional content of the dance. It’s a big step change from where I was before to where I am now”(ITW 2019)
Kumar
"the music and the foundations are an essential part of my tango journey. Tango is making me discover myself more, my personality and how I feel myself... and also meeting great people - all the great teachers and amazing fellow dancers. So it's actually making myself be more comfortable and being part of a big family.
