The “new generation” of dancers bringing the explosion of energy to traditional tango, devoted to their mission to make tango a lifestyle, promoting hard work and commitment to this beautiful culture.
Their in-depth knowledge of Tango Argentino history, the “old milongueros” dance steps and structures keeps them highly in demand as professors and choreographers.
Pure Traditional Tango, authentic, no additives, harmonious and musical.
A homage to the “old milongueros” in a trip to the past without forgetting the present.
Masters of maximal elegance in the minimal space on the dancefloor.

On the world tour since 2016
Within 20 years of tango life, he has been collaborating with various tango orchestras and world-renowned tango teachers, sharing extensive knowledge and experience with amateur and professional dancers around the globe, teaching Argentine tango and Folklore and working in many Tango companies as a regular performer and choreographer.
“Every night has to bo so memorable that you forget about the day. ”
My DJ path was built on words of one of the old milongueros: “There are no good or bad orquestras, there are orchestras that make or break your milonga.”
The man is a mistery, but his gigs are legendary!

Switzerland is famous for being expensive, but it does not have to be. Swiss people are used to living on a budget while caring for the environment. How?
While many of us come from cultures where eating out is a way of living, this is not the case in Switzerland. The Swiss way of getting your stomach happy is to get your food in one of the two big Supermarket chains, Migros or Coop. Whether you prefer a Supermarket restaurant, a prepared meal to be heated up, fresh salads or fruit, the selection is impressive, healthy, and affordable.
If you are lucky with the weather in October and feeling romantic, consider indulging yourself with a picnic by the lake.
