We are Oscar, Meche and Rafa; we are Baires Tango. We share a common passion: tango argentino. We learned and danced in the legendary downtown tango clubs (milongas) of Buenos Aires , so our rhythmic and elegant style in close embrace is a reflection of the way tango has been and is danced in our country of origin, Argentina.

   Our style has been perfected through many years of practice and frequent visits to Buenos Aires to dance and keep learning directly from local masters. The emphasis in the BairesTango classes is on connection to music and partner.

   A deep knowledge of tango music is essential to the dance; Oscar has been dj’ing at different venues in Houston and we use that experience to illustrate the different interpretations that a dancer can impart to tango music.

   The connection to the partner, also essential, is through the embrace; tango is a non verbal dialogue between two persons, one (male) leads and invites, the other (female) accepts the invitation and the dance begins. Tango is not a mirror dance, both roles are equally important but distinctively complementary. The female and male roles are reinforced, rather than blurred, in this beautiful and sensual dance.
