beauty and charm of Montpellier.
Group Tango Lessons
World renowned Tango teachers
Group tango lessons will be conducted by highly reputed Argentine Tango maestros, finalists of the World Championship - Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Paola Aguilera & Leonardo Auza
Paola and Leonardo have managed to develop their own elegant and musical style, while respecting the “porteños” origins of the dance.
They are constantly seeking tools to facilitate the learning and understanding of specific tango movements. Their classes are based on concepts ranging from basic to more complex, with the goal of teaching a dance where connection, “el abrazo,” and the couple's comfort are
essential for enjoying this dance.
Paola and Leonardo teach regular classes in Buenos Aires and internationally through workshops, mainly in France, Spain, Switzerland, and Uruguay.
They will captivate you with their freshness, authenticity,
and high level of professionalism.
We will have the pleasure to have them exclusively for us before the beginning of the Valmagne tango marathon, 1 hour daily lessons throughout your tango holiday.
Leonardo Auza & Paola Aguilera
Our selected tango teachers speak English, but, if necessary, we can simultaneously translate to French or Finnish, guaranteeing that you are never out of step on your Montpellier tango holiday.
