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.

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.

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.
