What is Neotango?

Neotango is a vibrant celebration of the ancient dance of embrace (tango) reimagined for the modern era. Each dancer brings their unique interpretation to styles like salon, milonguero, nuevo, and fusion, all set to the rhythm of contemporary music. While we honor the rich Argentine dance heritage, our music reflects our diverse, global culture rather than the traditional sounds of the past. Studying the roots remains essential for historical appreciation, but our dance floors pulse with the beats of today.

This dance is a dynamic journey through emotions, transcending mere categorization of music. We forego the traditional 'cortinas,' allowing dancers the freedom to continue with two, three, four tracks, or more, and to gently disengage from the embrace whenever moved to do so. Neotango nurtures the body and mind, promoting open-mindness and advancing the evolution of music and artistic expression across the globe.

Neotango transcends musical genres and dance styles; it is a global movement of people where dancers feel liberated to express themselves through a rich tapestry of global sounds that can be embraced through tango biomechanics. It is an expression of freedom and pride in our shared experience as embrace dancers.

The role of a DJ at a Neotango event is both challenging and crucial. They are not merely selectors of music but architects of experience, tasked with guiding the dancers through a wide spectrum of emotions, becoming groovemasters, .

Every Neotango DJ according to the dancefloor curates a distinct musical journey, drawing from an eclectic mix of genres. This diversity means you might find yourself at a Neotango party pulsing with the beats of electrotango on one night, and swaying to a rich tapestry of world music on another. This variety is not just the result of different musical choices; it reflects the individual sensitivity and personal style of each DJ. It is this personal touch that makes every Neotango event a unique exploration of music and movement, celebrating the diverse ways we can experience and interpret the essence of tango today.
