Only for small groups, focusing on personalized attention, food and service. Exclusively limited to 20 people, and set in an intimate venue, we ensure a front row seat to every guest just inches away from the action. It shows the full evolution of tango and the fashion that changed with it, from the slow and romantic 19th century, to fast and complex of the modern day. Learn tango from the pros during the dance class, allow our delicious food to tantalize your taste buds, then sit back, relax and let We Are Tango do the rest. « less

By being immersed in a space without light, people are forced to perceive what is real by relying on their other, less exercised senses. This style of immersing people into complete pitch black darkness offers a more specific development of the sensual capabilities of each individual and encourages an open minded and empathetic response. The darkness excites the senses and works to destroy the preconceived notions of how we see things and replace it with them with how we imagine them. . This is not a theater of blind actors nor is it for the blind, but rather it is for everyone that is open to the development of human potential and social inclusion. In the Blind Theater we hope to erase the differences between people, apparent differences that are only perceived with sight. Our shows are presented in total darkness which permit people with visual handicaps to work in an environment where the use of sight doesn’t exist, nor does their disabilities. « less
