Monsoon Tango Classes
Tango Ice Breaker
Rima and Oli met through tango in 2016 & have kept their embrace close, deep, & alive ever since, adding two life partners along the way, yet always returning to the joy & communion of dancing together.
They share not only tandas (& scrumptious food) but also their passion for DJing & for passing on what they continue to learn.
On Friday morning they launch Monsoon BLISS’ Morning sessions with a playful, dynamic workshop designed to melt barriers, spark connections, & set the floor flowing in warmth & embrace.
Champagne Tango
Malaika, once a true tango adicta in Mumbai, inviting maestros from abroad, now shares her embrace with us in Auroville’s forests, where between tandas she also tends to horses in Baraka.
Shashank began tango in Pune and now calls Goa home, where his journey has blossomed into music, movement, and community.
Together they recently joined forces to launch the upcoming Goa Tango Festival.
On Friday morning they sparkle the floor with an immersive session designed to bring pep, bubbles, and effervescent joy to our dance at Monsoon BLISS.
On Chaos & Precision
Vaibhavi from Pune and Jorge from Ecuador, now a long-standing member of Auroville, once shared their tango passion on the red earth long before Covid times.
Those who remember the evenings at Joy Guest House (now Serendipity…) know the spark. Now, returning to their roots, they invite us into a roller coaster of a ride: between excitement and inner peace, fast tracks and slower beats, chaos and precision.
When precision brings elegance and discipline ; chaos brings fun and creativity. Both are essential, both feed connection.
Together they guide us to rediscover tango’s pulse in Auroville’s embrace.
Elegance in the Ronda
Shreya & Manoj are from the vibrant Pune Tango Community. They bring a rare touch of class & elegance wherever they appear.
Whether on the floors of Buenos Aires, the shores of Bali, or across India’s vibrant communities, they embody tango’s refinement and beauty in motion.
Their presence in Auroville is always a gift, enriching our ronda with grace.
On Saturday morning they guide us through a workshop devoted to cultivating poise, fluidity, & shared harmony within the collective embrace of the Monsoon BLISS.
La Melodia del Corazon'
We are grateful for Aurévan and Una—two luminous pillars of our Auroville tango community.
Both “green,” both leading and following with grace, they embody tango’s full circle and share it week after week, holding the fort with constancy and joy.
In Bootcamps they conjure up their special spice; in the ronda they radiate dynamics and flow.
On Sunday morning they guide us through an intense yet blissful workshop, inviting us to listen deeper, connect truer, and dance from the heart.
Desde el Alma
Aditi and Carlos are among the most beautiful Tango couples in India.
Originally from nearby Pune, now gracing our Auroville community with their presence.
They are a delight to dance with, to share tandas and flow with, embodying passion, elegance, and joy.
They are part of the lucky few who have danced tango in Zanzibar, an unforgettable place, they bring stories and spirit into every embrace.
On Sunday morning they guide us through a workshop flowing straight from the soul, weaving beauty and depth into the Monsoon BLISS.
Blissful Offerings
Tango-Within
A deep, warm Namaste to Shriya, both a passionate Tanguera & a devoted Yogi. A radiant dancer with a heart full of curiosity & grace, her tango journey began right here in our Auroville Tango Community. We missed her so much that we just had to invite her back—because who better to bridge the worlds of tango and yoga?
In this special afternoon workshop, Shriya guides us into deeper presence, connection, and natural flow within ourselves—so we can cultivate the art of deep inner listening & bring that same sensitivity and awareness into our Tango.
Let's Role Play Tango Music
Music lives in layers—notes at the smallest scale, phrases and songs at the grandest. But in between lies the secret world of roles. In tango, instruments swap these roles with dazzling speed, creating contrasts that dancers can explore in every step. But what exactly are these ‘roles’?
Udayan invites us to find out and explore this magic, playing roles on the piano, guiding our ears through recordings, & leading joyful exercises. An afternoon where listening turns playful & dancing richer, deeper, more alive.
The Singing Body
With tango already close to her heart, she has also embraced singing with passion, releasing an album “The Road of the Wild Lily” & performing Argentine folklore at our March festival.
In this special workshop, she invites us to connect deeply with ourselves through our own voices, & to allow that presence and vibration to soften our bodies, breath, and hearts as we dance.
A New Stepping Stone
We are blessed to have Dhanu with us also… Our Tango Papa Smurf, part Professor, part Gandalf, & always a guiding presence. A true beacon of our community, he has long held space for the growth of Argentine tango in India.
Known as a “Tango Addicto”, his love for tango is only matched by his passion for all dogs, Rottweilers especially, both of which have carried him many times to Europe. With wisdom, humor, & quiet strength, he nurtures dancers and the dance itself. At Monsoon BLISS he shares a glimpse of what he has been dreaming & building…
