Seminars by Oscar Mandagaran & Georgina Vargas

We give seminars regularly in many different countries, as well as in Buenos Aires. Click on our "EVENTS" section to see where we are going to be teaching.

If you would like to organize a seminar in your city, please contact us directly at our email georgina.vargas@hotmail.com.
We are currently based in PARIS, France, where we teach workshops, private lessons and from where we travel to give lessons and shows.

Here is a list of the fundamental topics included in our teaching system, so that organizers can choose which seminars to offer. We always ask organizers to choose topics for the classes, but then we choose the order in which they will be taught, so that each class builds on the class before, to give students the maximum benefit from the entire program.

Teaching method

Teaching Method

We teach Argentine tango for dancing socially and for performing on stage. The style we teach is the style of Buenos Aires, the authentic style of dancing tango at a Buenos Aires milonga. After many years of dancing and teaching, we have developed one artistic concept for dancing on the stage, and one for dancing socially at a milonga. Our method is precisely designed to give our students the opportunity to expand their knowledge and develop their skill.

In our lessons we concentrate on all of those qualities that are second nature to every true tango dancer, such as the embrace, musicality, posture, energy, sensuality and elegance. We teach compact tango patterns and sequences that are suitable for social dancing including dancing on a crowded dance floor. We always introduce each pattern by first demonstrating it to give the student an example of the ideal technique and execution of the movement. We have found that this is the best method to allow the students to understand how to use their body to create the same pattern. Afterward we provide individual critiques, and when necessary, dance the pattern with the students to allow them to experience the sensation of correctly executing the steps, and to give them the opportunity to imitate our example.

In addition we focus attention on good technique, because we are convinced it is the foundation for the continuing development of your dancing. This means learning the proper way to carry and move your body comfortably without injury. For this reason we include a short period of warm-up exercises and stretching at the beginning of each class. In this way the student can prepare his/her body to learn the new movements, as well as to introduce the student to short sequences of steps that will be needed later in the class.

In our teaching we emphasize musicality, fluid movements, and good connection with the partner. For us the quality of the students' movements is more important than teaching of a large number of complicated tango patterns. In our teaching we also include an orientation for our students on the traditions of Argentine Tango, including proper etiquette and courtesy on the dance floor.

It is not necessary to come to our workshops with a partner as we encourage the rotation of partners throughout each class. Of course, we do respect studentsâ€™ wishes if they want to continue to dance with their partner.
