It was a passion with an early start: at about 23 years old, Fabián became one of the first World Tango Champions, in 2006. He started to study with Maestro Mingo Pugliese, and still today, keeps all those learnings as fundaments for his own teaching method and knowledge share. Also quite early on, he started his “tour” of the most famous tango house in Buenos Aires, followed by the creation and direction of a prestigious show: “Corporacíon Tango” and participation in the Copes Tango Copes, Solo Tango Show, Tango X 2. Nowadays, together with Josefina Bermudez, continues to travel the world, invited to the most renowned tango festivals doing what he always dreamed of: living for Tango!
Josefina divided her life between two passions: the contemporary dance and the Tango Argentino since the very young age of 5. Dancing in several dance companies and taking to the stage with several Tango shows. Fortunately for us, Tango prevailed over the contemporary dance, and she now dedicates herself exclusively to the art pf Tango Argentino. Some of the people with which she worked with are: choreographers Oscar Araiz and Juan Corvalán, “ El nene Massi” and Lorena Ermocida. Today, together with Fabián Peralta, she travels the world, invited by the most renowned tango festivals, to share her knowledge and charm.
Together since 2013 they are the embodiment of a virtuous and “clean” Tango, in “vintage” style where all the details matter. A generous source of inspiration for each one of us, where the technique, coupled with professionalism and talent, allow for classes that make us travel to the golden age of Tango, through the experiences shared and knowledge acquired from those who lived it.
Josefina Bermudez and Fabián Peralta, welcome to Portugal!

She started to dance Tango in 2008 and from 2010 begins to get more intimate with tango music and slowly get into the “musicalizator” life. She was playing at several international tango marathons as ‘La Cita de los Amigos’ (Belgium), ‘Tango Jam’ (Germany), ‘The Big Pop’ (UK), ‘Belle Epoque’ (Italy), ‘Milonga des 4 Saisons’ (France), ‘Tuga Tango Marathon’ (Portugal).” and also a the International Tango Festival in Portugal, Lisbon and Oporto.
About her way to Dj, we could resume it in a short definition “High Energy” but she’s also a very good “milonga reader” and she´s always find to manage the dancers into the right mood.
When she plays, travelling around the magical Tango Golden Age Era, each tanda whispers a story and D’Arienzo is definitely her favorite storyteller.

Gastón Godoy has more than 15 years of experience as Tango DJ.

In this milonga Gaston is commited to offer always the best quality and to preserve the essence of tango in ist purest form.
He likes to improvise every time his own dj set the according with energy and the mood of the people on the dance floor. After many years “musicalizando” he got a very extended knowledge about tango music and orchestra but he is never happy with what he already knows and so he likes to dig out from the past some “tango pearl” for his crowd.
He has participated as DJ in tango meetings and festivals in Spain and other cities in Europe, like: Workshop Milonga Sevilla Tango Festival (Spain), Bella Ciao au Château - Marathon (France), Fuego de la Noche Kazan Tango Festival (Russia), Tango Meeting in Tallinn (Estonia).

As a milonguera she believes in the impact that music can produce in the dance/milonga and, in this sense, while she is Djing, tries to enfatize the orquestras that, is her own view, allow the dancefloor to keep its proper order and that also create a unique feeling of sharing between milongueros that, in that moment and space can (re)find themselves. She also organizes the encontro milonguero Ensueños.

about us
Sónia Aires & Paulo Bernardo
Who are we?
United by the same passion, Argentine Tango, we created a school in Lisbon about 8 years ago, where the fusion between teaching dance, organizing events
and performance complement each other. We are a school focused on the well-being of its students, which aims to strengthen the dissemination of Argentine Tango in Portugal and beyond its borders, with the purpose of caring for the community and encouraging its growth. The unification of our experience in different areas of formation allows us to strengthen and revitalize the objectives that we propose ourselves every day.
Which Tango is ours?
As students of Natalia Games and Gabriel Angio, Virginia Gomez and Christian Marquez aka "Los Totis", our proposal is to feel the tango in the most traditional way possible, a tango without "additives", something vintage, never losing the originality, harmonious and, musical. We try to honor the "old milongueros",
on a journey into the past without forgetting the present to which we belong.
What is Argentine Tango for us?
The Argentine Tango is for us, absolute surrender, overwhelming, unique and unconditional passion, only to be revealed through an intimate embrace,
regardless of the form we give to it.
Plans for the future?
"Stay in beginner’s mind. Never leave beginner’s mind, because in beginner’s mind, the possibilities are infinite."
This is for us, the true challenge of the lovers of this dance.
