About Monica Paz
Growing up in Buenos Aires with a milonguero father, Monica Paz was born into tango. She began formal tango study in 1996 and later earned degrees in tango dance and tango history.
Today, her teaching is devoted to transmitting the knowledge she acquired from decades of dancing with the great milongueros—the masters of social tango—in the milongas of Buenos Aires. Monica has taught and performed throughout Argentina, Europe, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
In Monica's own words:
"The milongueros I interviewed danced with the great orchestras of tango's golden era. Imagine dancing while Troilo was playing right there in front of you! I danced with those milongueros, learned from them, and listened to their stories. Most of them are no longer here, but I carry them in my heart, and their dance is with me. I would like to share it with you. I love sharing my tango heritage."
Join us for an inspiring weekend of learning, dancing, and celebrating the rich tradition of Argentine tango. We can't wait to see you in Atlanta!
