It is not too risky to say every tango dancer loves Juan d’Arienzo – el ‘Rey del compas’. His work revolutionalised tango and is for all of us dancers a true source of constant inspiration. Yet, how are his songs built, and how do you put these beautiful pieces to movement? As for every musicality series workshop we will also talk about the artist, the man, and his orchestra.
