Why Tango?
Tango is not just a dance; it's a powerful form of expression that transcends language and culture. Its intimate nature fosters deep connections between dancers, promoting empathy,
communication, and understanding. Tango's intricate steps and rhythms challenge the mind and body, offering both physical and mental benefits. Moreover, its rich history and heritage provide a unique platform for celebrating diversity and bridging communities. At the US Tango Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of tango to bring people together, promote well-being, and create positive change in our society.

Experience the Power of the Tango Embrace!
Tango, as a partner dance, is rooted in non-verbal communication, fostering connections that transcend verbal abilities and cultural differences. To make this powerful experience accessible to all, we offer a variety of programs, including tango classes, workshops, seminars, and community events designed for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Our approach prioritizes wellness, inclusion, and community-building. We create a supportive and welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and embraced, regardless of their experience or background. By emphasizing the joy of connection, the therapeutic benefits of movement, and the celebration of diversity, our programs inspire personal growth and a sense of belonging for all participants.

Our Programs
Although a newly established non-profit organization, the US Tango Foundation was created by tango professionals with over fifteen years of experience teaching and organizing community based tango events in the Miami area.
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. Additionally, we strive to make our events 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.
Family Tango Time at Miami Children's Museum is an engaging and interactive event where families come together to explore the magic of tango in a playful and inclusive setting. This free activity is designed to foster connection, creativity, and cultural appreciation among parents and children.

The Twin Lakes Elementary Tango Program is the firs after-school initiative in Florida that introduces second-grade students to tango as a tool for social-emotional learning. Designed for children from under-served communities, the 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. Through dance, they learn valuable life skills that extend beyond the classroom, encouraging cooperation, discipline, and creativity.
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.
