Hello people!!
A little about me: my dance life started with ballroom dance during college and after that I moved to Boston, found salsa, and enjoyed the fun and energy of the salsa clubs for a few years. About a year ago I got bitten by the tango bug BAD and there was no going back…all other forms of dance ceased to have meaning, and I am continually amazed at the joy and peace I find in tango. Tango has enriched my life and through it I’ve met so many truly wonderful and inspiring people. Hopefully our tool will empower dancers around the world to do the same.

Hey everyone,
We’ve got some pretty exciting news: we are going to create a similar wiki-map for the Salsa community.
To help manage that front, we’ve invited Sarah Jacob to join our “Team Awesome”. She’ll be posting her introduction shortly, but I just wanted to get you excited for our next version of the site.
In the meantime, we are working on translating KnowTango to Spanish and redesigning the entire layout. Much is on the horizon!
Dancing is fun, so why do anything else?

Off to a great start
Hi everyone! We’re really excited by the positive response we’ve gotten so far to the site.
I’m Laurel and I’m really excited to be working on KnowTango.com because of its potential to bring together tango dancers and communities from around the world. It’s exciting to be experiencing this time of growth for tango — especially the unique opportunities now available to travel and meet tangueros from all over.
I’ve loved tango since I first went to Argentina. I love the dancing of course - but also the music, the poetry of the lyrics and the way they express Argentinidad. Currently I’m working on memorizing lyrics to some commonly played songs so I can do more than mumble a couple words of the refrain.
Please come back to KnowTango often to add more events and find out about all we have planned. Hasta la proxima!
Hey hey hey everybody!
Welcome to our blog, and thanks for checking out our newly created tool for the tango community!
I would like to thank all of you who have been visiting our site and sending positive reactions as well as constructive criticism. Please keep them coming, and keep reporting any bugs you may find - over time we will work them out and create several cool new features for you!
A couple things about me: I’m Argentine, so please excuse my English language mistakes. I’m a trained musician (I have two degrees in classical guitar performance) and I am an open-source, standards-compliant web designer and overall Geek. I’m a milonguero -a social dancer, and my favorite tango style is the Salon style, as danced in places like Villa Urquiza by some of my most influential tango teachers.
I’ll leave you for now with a video of one of my teachers, Daniel Nacucchio, with his partner Cristina Sosa:
