About Tango Fabrika

Tango Fabrika Founded in 2006 by Bulent Karabagli and Mihoko Shiohata as a specialised Argentine Tango School in Montreal and Tango Fabrika introduced the Nuevo style of tango to Montreal.
This Mile End school has since developed an innovative pedagogic approach to the dance, approaching it as an art that is rooted in the traditional but constantly evolving to give dancers greater freedom of expression.
As such, it attracts plenty of young professionals with its more physically demanding approach.

Tango Fabrika is also known for its International Tango Nuevo Festival of Montreal each May. Now in its fifth year, the Festival is a week-long whirlwind of classes, dance sessions and professional demonstrations and is growing in importance.

Tango Fabrika has

  • new pedagogy that, while drawing from traditional Argentine tango, allows a freedom of creative expression and a more flexible, open and athletic style.
  • the only school in Montreal playing electronic Nuevo and alternative music during our milongas
  • international guest artists, including some of the tango world's biggest names.
  • weekly practice sessions where our professional teachers and masters will be happy to assist you.
  • our students can learn to dance quickly without sacrificing proper technique and style.

    A brief intro to Tango Nuevo

    The Argentine Tango is renowned for its sensuality, passion, beauty and romance - a reputation fuelled by its images of couples dancing cheek-to-cheek in a tight embrace. It is also constantly evolving. Since the 1990s , a reinvigorated form of the dance - the Tango Neuvo - has been taking the world by storm. Young people are increasingly attracted by its youthful, athletic style and the electronic and alternative beats of Nuevo groups like Gotan Project, Narcotango and Bajofondo Tango Club.
