The Tangokombinat unites a group of friends from different countries wo share the same tango philosophy.
We discovered tango in our home regions and travel far to promote, teach, study and live social tango. We have danced with the milongueros in Buenos Aires.
Some of us make a living as professional teachers, djs and organisers, but all of us are social dancers and happy to move in the ronda in harmony with other couples.
