- About the maestro -
Gaston Olguin is an Argentinian tango dancer and teacher who has been teaching tango for over 18 years in Argentina and worldwide. In 2009 he began teaching at Queer School, the first queer tango school in Buenos Aires where both roles were taught to people of all genders. Gaston’s teaching is based in biomechanics, understanding of the body and empathy, seeking a beautiful connection above all. His lessons look at the fundamental technique of body movement that is central to both roles.
“It is important that we can connect with ourselves before giving ourselves completely to the magical connection that exists between two people.”
As a teacher, Gaston is warm, genuine and encouraging. He dances, teaches and performs in both roles with equal depth and understanding.

- Private lesson slots -
There is a slot available for a private lesson with Gaston earlier in the day (Sunday). If you are interested please get in touch as soon as possible.
- Our milonga -
As usual, we will have a mix of Traditional, Electronic & Nuevo Tango, all together on the same dancefloor. Music will be played in tandas.
We have lots of seating a large wooden dancefloor so we have the space to accommodate all styles of tango, although considerate floor craft is still appreciated (no one wants a stiletto stuck in their leg).
There is a bar on site and we will be providing pizza at half time.
