Tango Sueño Activity

Tango Sueño Academy is the premier Argentine Tango school in Connecticut, serving elite dancers for more than twenty years under the direction of Jorge "Gem" Duras.

The group and private lessons focus on authentic Argentine Tango as danced and performed in the halls of Buenos Aires. The classes take place in Greenwich, Milford, Norwalk, West Hartfrod and Middletown CT.

Gem Duras and Dale Ellison

Gem has been dancing Argentine Tango for more than 28 years and teaching professionally since 2003. He trains and encourages his students to acquire the proper tango technique, so that they can create the sensuality, musicality and partner connection that the Argentine Tango is famous for.

Although Tango Sueño Academy offers choreography and performance classes for more advanced students, the essence of tango "where the two partners become one" is never forgotten, with the goal of enabling the students to dance with others at local tango events and throughout the world including Buenos Aires.
