Last night the tango community came together to honour DJ Igor 💫
In the sadness of his passing, almost 100 dancers held each other up — through music, through movement, through simply being there together. The energy in the room was special, full of love and connection.
Thank you to DJ Bere for stepping in and playing beautiful music in his honour
Igor left us too soon, but will not be forgotten🙏🏻🌺

I’ve been reflecting on something I’ve noticed recently in the Toronto tango community. It feels like more and more dancers are stepping into teaching roles after only a couple of years of learning. While it’s wonderful to see such enthusiasm and passion for Argentine tango, I think it’s also worth remembering how layered this dance truly is.
Tango isn’t just a collection of figures. It’s built on subtle elements — embrace, axis, musical phrasing, floorcraft, and deep partner connection — that take many years and thousands of dances to really embody. Musical interpretation alone can evolve for a decade or more, especially when you begin to feel the differences between orchestras like DiSarli, D'Arienzo or Pugliese.
Teaching is also its own skill set. It requires not just the ability to dance, but the ability to diagnose, communicate clearly, and build strong foundations in others.
This isn’t meant as criticism of anyone’s journey — we all grow at different speeds. It’s simply an invitation to reflect on the responsibility that comes with teaching. Tango has incredible depth, and honoring that depth ultimately strengthens our whole community.
When students teach prematurely, the cost isn’t only personal — it’s communal. They shape the next generation. If their foundation is thin, the entire local scene becomes fragile: musical nuance fades, social etiquette erodes, and technique degrades over time.
Tango rewards depth. It punishes shortcuts. A couple of years may be enough to fall in love with it — but rarely enough to carry its responsibility as a teacher.
