The Power of Tango
More than just a dance, tango is an intimate dialogue of movement, with the embrace at its heart. This close connection fosters trust, empathy, and non-verbal communication, creating a profound sense of unity between partners. Through the embrace, dancers experience presence, deep listening, and shared expression, strengthening emotional bonds.
The improvisational nature of tango engages both mind and body, enhancing coordination, focus, and emotional resilience. At the same time, its rich heritage serves as a bridge between diverse communities, celebrating cultural exchange and inclusion.
At the US Tango Foundation, we believe in tango’s transformative power to unite people, promote well-being, and inspire positive change in society.

Our Programs
The US Tango Foundation is dedicated to extending the benefits of tango to the entire community, providing opportunities for self-discovery, and social interaction in a fun, inclusive environment. We strive to make our programs affordable and accessible to everyone, ensuring that tango can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life.
We believe that celebrating diversity through the universal language of dance cultivates empathy and cooperation, contributing to a more united, respectful, and harmonious society.
The Twin Lakes Elementary Tango Program is the first after-school initiative in Florida that introduces first and second-grade students to tango as a tool for social-emotional learning. This program fosters teamwork, communication, and confidence through movement and music. By engaging in tango, students develop respect, coordination, and self-expression in a supportive environment. The program creates a fun and inclusive space where children build connections and a sense of belonging while exploring a rich cultural tradition.
This program is funded by the support of the community.
The Tango Femme Program is an empowering class that promotes gender equality by challenging traditional tango roles where men lead, and women follow. It equips women with the skills and confidence to lead on the dance floor, addressing role imbalance in social dance.
By learning to lead, participants deepen their understanding of tango, enhance their partner connection, and build confidence and strength. Tango Femme fosters a supportive environment, encouraging women to explore their potential and embrace the freedom and creativity of leading, making it a powerful tool for growth and empowerment.
Tango for Transformation is a unique program designed to bring the healing and transformative power of tango to prison environments. Focused on young inmates, this initiative uses tango as a tool to address themes of consent, communication, and emotional awareness. By engaging participants in the structured yet expressive world of tango, the program aims to promote self-reflection, mutual respect, and non-violent interactions.
