Until the mid-1990s, tango was understood in groups of steps, or sequences. The Cochabamba Investigation Group analyzed tango and identified the basic Elements, from which dancers can compose.

There are 25 distinct tango Elements (see the Lexicon), each with a number of variations ranging from 5-100.

The technique for each Element is consistent across its variations. Once we know the Element’s necessary technique and its systems of variations we have a huge vocabulary at our disposal to which we can apply various dynamics for rich musical expression.

Regardless of which “style” of tango you prefer, all Argentine Tango relies on the same skills.

We distilled technique to a memorable set of just 5 Tools. The 5 Biomechanical Tools enable you to diagnose problems, analyze movements to learn from any teacher or video, and help fellow dancers.

To create our technique we studied and analyzed every tango movement to understand its biomechanics. The accuracy of our explanations has been validated by two physiologists.

By describing motion in terms of position and action of joints and contraction of muscles, we can give direct and clear instructions for sublime connection, balance, clear communication, and fluid movement.

Dancers are skeptical about online tango education. Of course group classes are more fun and social, and of course it’s necessary to experience expert execution of movements. However, “feeling it” with someone who doesn’t know what they are doing can actually lead to bad habits that take years to unlearn.

More important than the social aspects of instruction is the quality of the information.

Many teachers don’t offer precise actionable instruction of what to do with your body. They rely on metaphors and mirror neurons, which only works for some students. Furthermore, many also fail to provide equal instruction to both roles.

Our Digital School provides precise, empowering information for both roles about what to do with your joints and muscles, and how to find variations, so you can move with confidence and improvise, instead of memorize.

Dancers are told it takes 10 years to learn tango. We don’t want to wait that long to dance with you.

Many teachers don’t give actionable instruction,  fail to provide equal instruction to both roles, keep secrets, or  “drip” their knowledge slowly.

We share all our technique, concisely and precisely. And we constantly evaluate our pedagogy to make it more effective for more students.

We provide precise, empowering information about what to do with your body, and how to find variations, so you can improvise, instead of memorize.

We guarantee the quality of our material by answering any of your questions for free. MasterCourse students are entitled to free entry at our live workshops and to video consultations to ask questions. Al students are welcome to ask questions by email any time.

Marks (Leaders) who have difficulty remembering the moves from class can stop trying to memorize and improvise based on understanding the structure of tango movements and their variations.

Doing the right movement is only the beginning part of following. When you understand the character of each movement and its technique, then you can bring grace, beauty, and self-expression to what the Mark asks you to do.

When you enroll in the MasterCourse all sesssions are immediately available. You can do the curriculum in any order you want and train at your own pace.
