Alma de Tango stands, in Spanish, for "Soul
of Tango" |
| The original goal of ALMA
DE TANGO, ARGENTINE TANGO CULTURAL CENTER was the
diffusion of the tango culture in Australia and New Zealand.
Hugo Fernández and a group of enthusiasts founded our
Center in 1997 and since then have dedicated their energies to
make the "TANGO ARGENTINO" known in this corner of the
world in all its facets : its music, its poetry and its dance.
Alma de Tango was the first tango-only school of Argentine tango
in Australia and it became the center of propagation of the Argentine
culture and art in Australasia.

We offer in Brisbane, Australia, access to our
cultural resources (that is music, biographies, lyrics, graphic
art, visual material, literature and learning means), thus sharing
our quite comprehensive understanding and knowledge of the cultural
richness of the tango art.
Thereby, interested people themselves will unveil and experience
the fascinating mysteries of the interpretation of the tango music
through its dance (Quoted from various authors):
- Contrast: through the interplay of opposites, freedom and
discipline.
|
|
|
- Creativeness: through the instruction of techniques to allow
the individual's creativeness to manifest itself, every tango
is a new tango, each new pair of partners creates it from the
beginning.
- Sensivity: to the music and his/her partner, the inner feeling,
the state of heart recreates the history of tango every time
the dancers take to the floor.
- Beauty: allowing the individual to appreciate and make active
use of his/her corporal embellishment
- Expressiveness: through a popular dance, rhythm, nerve, strength
and character.

- Form: he creates the form, and she fills it with perceptivity
and beauty...
- Responsiveness: in a state of heightened awareness, both,
man and woman are watchful to the nuance of tempo and rhythm.
- Clearly Differentiated Roles: It may take two for tango, but
only one is in control the man is in pursuit, the woman defiant
and elusive, yet there is an inviolable contract between the
partners ... The tango can express a wider range of the feminine
than any other dance...
- Certainty: when a man leads a figure in tango, he must place
the woman's body accurately...

Alma de Tango holds classes for all levels. From
classes designed to suit the complete beginner to classes for
the advanced Tango student.
In a mixed skills lesson each session starts with general drills
leading technique with the participation of the whole class. The
second part of this day's session requires a division of the class
into levels of skills. Then, each level develops a dance pattern
or figure and puts it into action.
Located in Brisbane we have many regular Classes, Courses and
specialised Workshops to choose from.
