Description, Studies of Tango/Tango Background:
Laura breathes tango every day :)
Ever since
June 2006, when the Argentine tango entered her life, her wish was to discover
its mystery and she understood that beyond steps, figures and body movement,
tango is a way of expression of the human being, full of feelings, emotion,
elegance and respect, an embrace between a man and a woman who share to each
other their joy, sadness, cares, life dramas, happiness, love for a few minutes
in a very living dance, creating magic moments.
She traveled
to Buenos Aires more times, where she spent time around old/viejos milongueros
at traditional milongas portenas, especially followed by the wish of finding
and understanding the mystery, essence, history of tango and tango culture.
However, Laura considers that she owes her tango, all that she has learned and
discovered about tango and all that tango means for her nowadays, to her
maestros from Buenos Aires, true tango legends – Javier RODRIGUEZ and Andrea
MISSE!
===> Awards:
- >
In July 2015, Laura Iaru together with her former partner, Csongor Kicsi
were awarded with the 1st place at the 6th European Tango
Championship – Tango de Pista/Tango Salon category, that took place in Italy -

Argentina, hence being also direct finalist at the World Tango Championship in

Sergio Chiaverini Saturday night
The Tango meets me in
January 2000 and since then I have not left!I love the Argentine tango
understood as dance, for all the emotions that can it express, I think this is
reflected in the way I usually put the music.
I choose the Music
because is great to be dancing ;-).
Using both the PC and
the CD, but I prefer the former because it allows me to quickly access the
music!
I don't love the cayengue, one amuses me, but a tanda ... ! I love tangos sung … those "beautiful".
If you don't demand,
rarely use electronic tangos.
I like to create
atmosphere in the night, govern the wave, in order to modulate the various
stages of the milonga–
Nome Musicalizador: DJ SERGIO DJ dal nov. 2001 2) Breve descrizione, Una bella serata dipende dalla Musica, in base ai ballerini presenti in pista, scelgo la musica che reputo migliore. Non utilizzo scalette ma scelgo la musica al momento tandas per tandas, brano per brano. A me piace creare un’atmosfera carica di “Energia”, un “onda” con i suoi massimi e minimi assoluti e relativi. Musicalizzo dal novembre 2001. Anno di nascita della MILONGA BRAVA a Genova. Ho sempre suddiviso la musica in “tandas”,(gruppi di 3 o 4 brani) utilizzando “las Cortinas” (musica non ballabile, oppure da brani ballabili ma di generi di!erenti Rock, Cumbia, Salsa, Swing, Jazz). Amo il tango argentino inteso come ballo, per tutte le emozioni che permette di esprimere, credo che questo si rifletta molto nel mio modo di porre la musica. Non La scelgo solo perché mi piace o perché è rara, la scelgo perché Merita di essere ballata in quell’istante. Utilizzo ormai il PC con consolle digitale, preferisco.
Prevalentemente
utilizzo le orchestre classiche, soprattutto degli anni ’30, ‘40 e ’50. A
queste mi piace inserire alcuni brani di orchestre contemporanee. Tanghi
Elettronici? se posso li evito ;-)). Ma se l’ambiente è giovane è c’è
l’atmosfera giusta pronto a porre bajofondo, narcotango, otros, electrocutango,
melingo.... - DJ CLASSICO con BRIO -

La Morocha Sunday night
La Morocha opened in 2004 the first tango school in Romania “El Tango” and in 2007, Tango Brujo in colaboration with Club La Scean, which hosts the oldest milonga in Bucharest.
She developed as milonguera, tango teacher and DJ mainly in Buenos Aires with the great maestros and milongueros she was fortunate to meet along her tango jurney.
Along years she DJed in numerous international tango festivals and local milongas.
"I discovered Argentine Tango in 2002 and I’ve been continuously fascinated by tango as dance, music and culture ever since.
I strongly believe that music is a critical factor of a great milonga and, as DJ, that’s what I mean to achieve each time.
I focus on the traditional music that brings the dancers on the floor and keeps them there until the end of the milonga. My personal motto, both as a dancer and as a DJ:
'Let’s dance well!'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TDJ Bogdan Galateanu Friday evening 
I discovered tango almost 7 years ago and I fell in love with both the
music and the dance. I have been dancing tango ever since because i believe
that in a way, it can bring the perfect equilibrium we are all looking for in
our lives. Tango music can be playful, joyful, dramatic or sentimental, with
ups and downs, soothing the mind and letting the spirit flow on the dance
floor. Most of the times, a nice embrace, the right music and the good vibes at
the milonga are the perfect ingredients to help you take your mind off of
everything else and to make a night to remember. As a passionate dancer, when I
am TDJ-ing, I try to give to the dancers the right energy and inspiration to
form a connection to the rhythm of the music and to share the joy with their partners.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose Almar Saturday evening
a argentinian guy with italian and romanian soul connections, may be the most latin guy of the world, a very passionate lover of the "Divina Commedia" by Dante Alighieri.
He plays the guitar and take in his blood the music.
He came back after many years to be musicalizador de tango but in the same time we know very well his performances as dancer.
A complete artist!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TDJ Cristian Dumitru Sunday evening
I always see the
music in a graphic form and, if well balanced, it creates sensations, feelings,
energies, attitude. Dancing is a projection of these moods in and within one’s
own story because when Troilo is mastering his bandoneon, is one thing, and if
some “choristers” in a De Angelis arrangement scream, is a different one. Is
not the same if Diaz spews out Azzazello or if Piazzolla cries after Nonino. It
is never the same if Behemot puts burning charcoal under your feet on D’Arienzo
Mandria or to clump like a mad man because She is so… on Donato Ella Es Asi!
