With his musical choices he loves opening new doors for dancers to walk through and discover in their hearts and minds new dreams they can share with another human being while dancing.

When Olga took her first tango class, she immediately discovered that this dance was a meaningful language with endless possibilities to create and interact. She became addicted to the dance and started collecting traditional and alternative tango music right away.
