COMPADRITO TANGO
Authentic Argentinian Tango in Ireland!

Founded by dancers Simona and Hernan in 2004, Compadrito Tango was born in Ireland with the intent of offering people the opportunity to learn and dance Tango through a variety of event such as classes, milongas, workshops, festivals and more. We work with a group of international dancers, musicians and actors- all sharing the same passion for Tango- to bring you the best of Tango dance and music.

While offering you the authentic Tango experience, we intend to dispel the belief that Tango’s sensual and elegant movements can only be achieved by professional dancers. But above all, we intend to bring Tango off the stage and make it once again what it was in its origins: a social dance for all …in the real Buenos Aires spirit!


Since they started Compadrito tango in 2004, Simona and Hernan have performed at numerous dance and music events around the country such as Ballina Arts Festival, Dublin Fringe Festival, Rathmines Arts Festival, 'OXEGEN' International Music Festival-Punchestown, Camille O’Sullivan  at the Olympia Theatre, Fionnula Hunt at the Solstice Arts Centre. They have also recently appeared as dancers and choreographers in the short film "Tango in D minor" by Maurizio Usai. [Click here to see the latest events]
