About us
Thank you for joining Ultimate Tango Community!
You are about to immerse yourself into a world full of adventure, passion, learning, and friendships.
Learning Argentine Tango can change your life in numerous ways. We know it because we teach it for like - forever. Special people start learning the Tango and this is not without reason. We have a saying - you do not choose Tango. Tango chooses you. And when the time is right - you will encounter it.
We are not gonna lie to you. It will not be easy. But it is the best thing you will ever do for Your Partner and Yourself! Argentine Tango is not just a dance.
Hernan and I think of an Argentine Tango as a Philosophy of Life. People who join us on the journey to discovery usually stay for years. I would say forever, but that's a tricky word since I had not experienced foreverness quite yet... It would indicate immortality, right?
Tango is a dance based on communication between two bodies - the dance is improvised. That means the Leader proposes the movement to the Follower in response to what she confirms the understanding of it and interprets it in the way she and her body understood the proposal. All this happens non-verbally - that's why the dance is extremely difficult but developed undescribable understanding between the couple.
We teach for years and see it happening over and over again. It does not happen in one lesson though. So if you expect that
- you are simply deceiving yourself. Tango is a path. We invite you to step on it and start your journey.

SPECIAL: The Architecture of Tango
Ultimate Tango School of Dance, 349 Washington St, Malden, MA, USSPECIAL: The Architecture of Tango | A Weekend with Marcelo "El Chino" Gutierrez
Marcelo “El Chino” Gutiérrez teaches tango from the inside out - revealing the structure, mechanics, and musical intelligence behind every movement.
We are excited to welcome Marcelo “El Chino” Gutiérrez to Ultimate Tango for a special weekend dedicated to the structure, musicality, and mechanics of Argentine tango.
Known internationally for his clarity, depth, and grounded teaching style, Marcelo brings a unique perspective shaped by decades of study with legendary tango masters as well as formal training in ballet, choreography, and movement analysis.
His workshops reveal how tango grows from simple elements - balance, weight changes, pivots, direction, and musical phrasing - and how understanding those elements transforms the way we dance.
Throughout the weekend, Marcelo will guide dancers through the mechanics, musicality, and structure that make tango come alive - from the power of the standing leg to the logic behind improvisation.
The program is designed as a progression: beginning with grounding and body mechanics, exploring musical phrasing and movement structure, and expanding into circular movement and the expressive power of the walk.
The weekend also includes a special Che Tango milonga with Marcelo as DJ, offering a chance to put these ideas directly into practice on the social floor. - https://www.ultimatetango.com/che-tango-w-dj-marcelo-el...
Join us for a weekend of learning, exploration, and dancing with one of today’s most thoughtful tango teachers.

SPECIAL: Grounded Tango - The Power of the Standing Leg with Macelo "El Chino"
Ultimate Tango School of Dance, 349 Washington St, Malden, MA, USIn tango, everything begins with the standing leg. Balance, stability, pivots, and connection all depend on how clearly we organize our weight and how we interact with the floor.
Tango music is rich with contrast. Some dancers hear only the rhythm. Others follow only the melody. The most interesting dancing happens when we learn to move between both.
In this workshop, Marcelo explores how dancers can interpret music through pauses, phrasing, and timing. You’ll learn how to recognize musical structure, when to move with the rhythm, when to follow the melody, and when the most powerful choice is simply to pause.
Through guided exercises and musical examples, Marcelo will help you transform musical listening into clear movement choices.
Why you need it
Many dancers feel stuck dancing at one speed or moving continuously without variation.Learning to play with pauses and phrasing allows you to:
-create tension and release
-highlight musical accents
-dance with more expression and personality
-make your partner feel the music more clearlyMusical interpretation is what transforms movement into tango.
