Agustina Piaggio & Carlitos Espinoza form a remarkable partnership, combining pure instinct with refined elegance.
They are among the most renowned and widely admired dance couples in the international tango scene.
Carlitos Espinoza is a dynamic milonguero-style dancer who has been dancing for over eighteen years in Argentina and Chile and has taught at more than 100 festivals and workshops across Europe and South America, building a strong and loyal following worldwide.
Agustina Piaggio, already highly recognized at a young age, won the World Tango Championship (Tango Salón) in 2019 together with Maxim Gerasimov.
As the founder of Intango, Heidelberg’s first tango school, Emile Sansour is one of the pioneers of tango in Southern Germany and has been shaping the tango scene for over three decades. Renowned for his deep understanding of both Milonguero and Nuevo styles – and for his ability to connect them organically – he has trained generations of dancers, many of whom have gone on to become tango teachers themselves.
Simge Yüz was trained by Emile and continues his lineage with the same depth, musicality, and commitment to tango as a living culture.
