WTS MISSION
World Tango Society
We profile ourselves as an ambitious and open network with respect for the roots, the origin, the different developments and further evolution of the Argentine Tango dance.
Tango interest is growing like never before, creating opportunities for thousands of people. This requires a structure, an overview of which trends are brooding, what is broiling among local tango communities, what are the points of interest of the mainstream tango, how is tango evolving, are there new sub-categories to be added or clarified, how at the same time preserve the “original” tango and open up to new ideas, new orientations. We serve as a global forum, we focus on all levels, regions, tendencies, connections, ages, genders and develop friendly relations among the worldwide different tango communities.
Tango as intangible Heritage
Argentine Tango is a legacy from the past, what we live today and pass on to the future generations. What is most important is the knowledge and skills that we transmit from one generation to the next. With respect and in accordance with the ideas and thinking of Unesco – that recognized Argentine Tango in 2009 as a intangible cultural heritage – we contribute to this appreciation and safe-guarding its recognition.
