About Us

Intimate Embrace Tango is an ongoing endeavor to experience community around the exploration of Argentine Tango. It is a medium for relationship to ourselves, each other, and our world. Tango is about listening and moving as one, a communication through subtle movements of two bodies joined in breath and energy. The beautiful connection between human beings in the Tango Embrace invites common ground in our history and humanity.
