Our Argentine Tango Program
Level 1
An unpredictable encounter unfolds between two individuals—a unique and privileged moment filled with spontaneity. In Level 1, our exploration centers on unveiling the true essence of tango: a floating, intense, and timeless dance where two bodies gracefully unite in space, merging into a single rhythmic harmony. You will discover this social, sensual, and improvisational couple's dance, learning how to connect in a comfortable embrace while smoothly navigating the dance floor in the traditional counterclockwise direction.
Level 2
A breeze from Buenos Aires rustles through Ghent. Building on your foundations, Level 2 introduces the intricate rules and codes that govern the traditional milonga. You will learn the conventional signs of the mirada and cabeceo (the gentle exchanges affirming a mutual invitation to dance). We will also deepen your musicality by exploring Tandas (sets of four pieces) and Cortinas (musical interludes). In this realm, barriers of age or language dissolve; what matters most is your shared experience of this deeply improvised dance for two.
What to wear
Please come dressed in comfortable, form-fitting dancewear or clothing that supports easy movement and allows your legs to move freely. Only appropriate dance shoes or socks are permitted in our studios; for Tango, we recommend clean, smooth-soled indoor shoes that allow you to pivot easily, or thick socks if you are just starting out.
Please remember to change into your dance shoes outside the dance studios to keep our floors clean, and be sure to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated!

Gisela & Sergio
Gisela Graef Marino Driven by an absolute passion for movement, Gisela's artistic journey spans dance, music, theater, and pantomime. A true pioneer of the genre, she was among the first to bring Argentine Tango performances to Paris in 1984. After leading acclaimed shows like Libertango, she reached a career milestone in 1994 when tango icon Pablo Verón invited her to be his partner at the legendary Folies Bergère Theatre. In 1995, she began her enduring artistic partnership with Sergio Molini.
Sergio Molini Sergio’s formal training began in 1985 at Maurice Béjart’s prestigious school in Brussels, sponsored by the great Jorge Donn. In 1988, he returned to Argentina to join the Ballet of Teatro San Martin in Buenos Aires, where he first discovered his deep fascination with Tango. By 1991, he had returned to Belgium to begin teaching and organizing the local tango community.
The Partnership Since 1995, Gisela and Sergio have combined their diverse talents to create a unique Tango style celebrated for its harmony, fluidity, and balance as a pair. In 1997, they founded the Brussel Tango association (now Estación Tango), establishing a premier school dedicated to spreading the authentic art and traditional codes of Tango worldwide.
