Caminito.Cz

We are school of Argentine tango.

Tango is part of our lives and we bring it also to you… since the year 2000. We are located in Praha Vinohrady but our teachers and students travel to dance in whole Europe, around the world, and also in Argentina. We organize classes and workshops, milongas, and support the activities of Prague tango community.

Argentine Tango

Couple dance that originated in Río de la plata (Buenos Aires, and Montevideo) and has spread accross the globe over the years. The music, communication, and improvisation are key. You can find local tango communities in many cities but also smaller towns around the world, and in Prague as well. Many Czech dancers who like to travel with their dancing shoes always packed started in Caminito.

Who We Are

“Basically we are bunch of enthusiasts who know quite well how to dance – like really. Some have been teaching long, some not so much yet (some have even quit). It’s been quite an effort to learn all that stuff so we hope that you won’t be much faster, because you would really piss us of….. excuse me, surprise us. (Well, some already have… quite many, actually.)”

I am a bit crazy – I want to dance, teach, create and organize something all the time. But other than that I am a bloody good dancer and teacher.


Tango came to my life in 2000 by coincidence through giving Spanish classes and since then it’s been determining my next steps in professional and also personal life. After several years of intensive training and practising, and travelling for tango around Europe and Argentina, I started to give classes and aftr giving birth to my children I never came back to my original profession in the world of business.

Tango is a dance of many inner levels and it matures as a wine. It needs time and humility. Tango tought me different perspectives about music, partner, and movement. Rhythmic gymnastics gave me a solid background and suddenly there was an embrace with a partner, which opened for me a road to myself and my feminity.

Thanks to tango I met many inspiring people and cooperated on interesting dance projects in theatres, films, concerts, and original productions. My travelling habits evolved, too: dancing shoes are always packed.

I am cheerful, like nasty words, and during dance I stick on the man so intensively that he wants to marry me.


As a tango dancer I both lead and follow. My love for tango goes even deeper, as I also found passion in teaching and DJing.
My movement background is mainly in martial arts and yoga. Over the years I’ve taken classes with many excellent teachers and I keep doing so.
I took my first tango steps here in Caminito.Cz in 2007 in Marek and Radka’s class and fell in love with it instantly.
Tango is a huge community worldwide where you’ll for sure find friends. But what is it that I love about tango the most?
I love that I can embrace complete strangers, we don’t even have to speak the same language and yet we can find so much understanding, inspiration, creativity in the dance, in the moment. No tanda is the same. Come join us!

Since childhood, dance has been my true love.


At five, I embraced belly dance, then explored flamenco, samba, ballet, rock and roll, and traditional Venezuelan dances. However, it was at 11 that my mom convinced me to join her for a tango lesson, initially finding it boring. Surprisingly, that class marked a turning point, revealing a unique connection that set tango apart. Little did I know, that class would change everything.

Tango brought a different kind of magic into my life, you know? Gradually, my affinity for it deepened and when my mentors from Tango Barquisimeto moved to Buenos Aires, my partner and I assumed teaching roles. In 2015, I established my own school, Social Tango, in Mérida, surrounded by the beauty of the Venezuelan Andes. And later, upon relocating to the Czech Republic to study, my first priority was connecting with the local tango community.

Fortunately, I’ve encountered wonderful people who share the same passion for tango, once again affirming that no matter how distant your journey takes you, you can always find a nice embrace wherever you go!

I prefer to travel with my mind rather than my body as I believe this is what makes me a creative person. Tango and fine arts in general help me realize this fundamental need in my life.

 

One distant morning I woke up and decided to dance tango. Something must have happened during that night.

I can’t tell you what it was. Accidentally, my grandma came across an info about tango class. Although I was very young and shy, I attended and I haven’t stopped since. It have been almost twenty years since then.

Tango has energized me and brought me lots of challenges and interesting experiences. From the very first moment I appreciated the dance, the contact with my dance partners and the nights in milonga. Learning, discussions and encounters with many interesting people and artists have allowed me to gain a broad perspective on tango. I would be more than happy to share my knowledge and experience with new people interested in this wonderful dance. The first tango music I heard was Piazzolla and then I discovered he was born on the same day as me: could it be destiny?

On the other hand, I am a bit old, quite wasted, with broken knee, bald (but hairy), with the best days probably behind, and actually teach tango because they didn’t get anyone else.


My dancing begun on a primary school in 1987 because of two prettiest girls in the classroom. We were three boys who went to the dancing club but I was the only one who didn’t run away. (They really were pretty, those girls.)

I think it was the last Friday of January 2000 when I gave the first tango class. (Frankly, I never planned to live on tango but I wanted to enthuse more people by it and, therefore, I opened the classes for public.) The first time I went to Argentina was in 2001 and then several times more, I bought a bandoneon and played in a tango band a few years (10, I think, or more). From time to time I put music on a milongas. I just like tango.
