The key elements of the ball
Luis Blanc (Argentina) and Karin Emrich (Germany) are both directors of Destinotango, a place of teaching and dance in Germany.
For about ten years, they have been dedicating themselves to their passion: dancing tango and sharing the knowledge they have been transmitted by their Argentinian masters, that they personalized over the years. They want to pass on the ballroom tango, the one danced in Buenos Aires milongas.
Karin and Luis use to organize regular milongas, international events (encuentros, festivals...) and endeavour to pass on the tango culture beyond the dance (concerts, readings, projections...).
