Argentine Tango

Daniel Escobar (from Argentina)

dani posing_S Daniel grew up with salon tango in Argentina and later built his strong base in stage tango as he worked at various tango production companies. Having danced for 13 years and well versed on traditional tango, Daniel is inspired by the varied possibilities and different dynamics that today's tango has to offer. He combines the best of traditional and new tango to develop his own style and translate them to simple language for his students. His classes have a reputation of being simple, direct and yet very persistent in the quality of the embrace, an element which Daniel considers most important in tango.

Since 2004, Daniel has travelled intensively teaching and performing all over Europe, Russia, Cyprus and Japan. He performed for Compañía Tango Bizzarro, Compañía Tango Seduction, Tanguera El Musical, Tango a Tierra, Compañía Tango Vivo and Compañia Otango. While in Buenos Aires, he gives regular lessons and workshops at La Viruta, El Viejo Correo and Club Gricel.

Daniel's passion for tango and continuous search for tango knowledge has not changed since the first day he started tango. Throughout the years, he learnt from his teachers Gabriel Angio y Natalia Gamez, Francisco Santapa y Mimi Santapa, Damian Essel y Nancy Louzan, Mariano Chicho Frumboli,
Gustavo Naveira Y Giselle Anne and Sebastián Arce y Mariana Montes.

Mona Kuk

D3X6623-1 Mona was in love with tango at her first sight but had to put a brake on the short romance due to her then priorities in life. She met tango again in 2001 and began her annual pilgrimage to Buenos Aires and Europe to study with various tango masters. Her training in other dance forms and yoga provide her with a solid foundation and thorough understanding in the principles and techniques of tango.

In 2004, she decided to leave the corporate world and dedicate herself to studying tango and yoga. A certified yoga instructor and an enthusiast in biomechanics, Mona is fascinated by the transformation tango has done to her and many others. Over the years, Mona has gained her fame with her defined pedagogy and well-structured classes. She celebrates the joy of inspiring people to share and to connect with one another through the beauty of Tango.

Mona has always been at the forefront of the development of Argentine Tango in Hong Kong. She was the co-founder of the then Lead & Follow and is now an owner of 2 studios. She regularly brings in visiting teachers for tango workshops and is the organizor of Wednesday Milonga M.
