Is The Tango Musicality Bootcamp Right for You?
If any of the following sound like you, do yourself a favor and do not miss this 2-week bootcamp
- I want to feel and express the music but am not sure how: I am stuck in my head thinking about the steps when I’m dancing, instead of being in the flow of the music
- I worry that I’m always dancing in the same way: I feel the pressure to ‘entertain’ my partner, and keep learning new steps… I want to be more musical so I can be in the flow of the music instead!
- I know there’s a lot more I could add to the dance, but what? And how? I feel ready to focus more on the music, and want to make every dance an opportunity for creativity and self-expression
- Tango music feels very foreign to me: I love tango music, but I never recognize the songs when I go dancing socially (while everyone around me seems to do so…)… and I don’t know how to dance to the different tango orchestras!

Studying tango musicality has completely transformed our dancing.
When we realised we could dance the simplest steps while feeling musical and creative...we were hooked!
We know not everyone understands the value of studying tango musicality.
Maybe you feel that it’s too early in your tango journey. Or, you feel that you have an intuitive understanding of tango music, and you don’t need to go deeper.
But we want everyone to know the transformative power of deeply understanding tango music, which is why we make it super easy for you to sign-up: it’s free!
We do have paid-for programmes that we’ll invite you to join if you want to continue your tango musicality with us afterwards but there’s no obligation. You can sign-up now, learn everything from the bootcamp, and we’re happy either way.
Don’t worry! Replays of the video trainings will be available until the 10th of February for you to catch up. However, they will be taken down after this period.
Yes, you can!
In fact, this bootcamp is designed with the individual dancer in mind.
We’ll help you make sense of tango music, dive into the fundamental principles of tango musicality, and explore how you can express the music individually.
Then you’ll be equipped to go and practice everything you’ve learned with your tango friends.
In this bootcamp, our focus is on educating your ears and making sense of tango music.
We know that a lot of tango dancers want to add more of themselves to their dance but aren’t how to do that…
Musicality - our way of feeling the music - is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal to do just that!
But, how do you express rhythmic music without always stepping on the beat?
How do you express yourself as a follower beyond just decorating?
How do you know what to do when in the music?
Are there elements that you HAVE to know, in tango music, in order to be a good social dancer?
Our bootcamp answers these questions - and so much more!
We help you understand tango music better so you can express it easily and fluidly when you are dancing.
Hi there! We’re Pablo & Anne. Between the 2 of us, we have over 27 years of combined teaching experience.
We have been teaching together for the past decade, including online.
With over 37,000 online students subscribed to our youtube channel (and more than 6 million views since we got started!), we know how to teach in a clear yet detailed way online.

There’s one thing we can promise you: we won’t make you walk on the beat for hours on end!
Look, we know that you might have been to your fair share of musicality classes where the teacher asked you to walk to the beat.
Whether you found that boring or stressful… we promise you we won’t do that!
In fact, our goal is to help you hear all the other layers of tango music, so you have more elements at your disposal to express the music and dance fluidly.

Hi there! We're Pablo & Anne...
We wish we’d known what we know now, back when we were getting started in our tango journey, and trying to make sense of tango music.
2 decades, 36,000 online students, over 2000 milongas organised and many trips to Argentina later - we now know so much about tango music, how to feel and express it, and how to teach it to tango students.
Our mission today is to show you that even if you have an intuitive understanding of tango music, you are going to gain so much as a dancer by going deeper!
Tango music is rich and sophisticated, and the more you can educate your ears, learning about the phrasing, the layers of music, the most influential orchestras, the 3 styles of tango music… the more you’ll be able to make every song you dance a conversation.
Ever felt that there was a lot more you could add to the dance, without being sure how, or what?
Ever worried about ‘being boring’ and feeling the pressure to ‘entertain’ your partner?
Want to move as one with your partner and be in the flow when you’re dancing?
Then simplify your dancing and let the subtleties of tango music tell you what to do when…
This bootcamp will teach you how to connect your steps to the music and express it with ease.
If becoming a confident and musical tango dancer is part of your dreams for 2024… join us!
We’ll be honored to be your guides.
Big hugs,
Pablo & Anne
