“You automated the man
who meets the whole world.”
Mary, his tango teacher · in EMBRACE: The Tango Apprentice
The problem nobody talks about
When you’re the one who pays, decides and organises, people respond to the role. They rarely meet the person.
Many successful adults go weeks without anyone holding them on purpose, and they call it being fine.
Tango asks for what success never trained: to wait, to listen, to land your weight in one place instead of hovering over every decision. Nobody embraces alone.
Who it’s for
People who run companies, families, rooms and agendas, and are quietly tired of deciding everything.
You don’t need to have danced before.
How it works
Four steps, all of them around you
I
The first session
US$500. The full TangoPulsus team meets you, in one room or with everyone on Zoom. We learn your lifestyle, what you want, what you need, your limits and your skills. No forms, no questionnaires: a conversation.
II
The deep one-on-one
In person. The team works with you directly: body, flexibility, axis, the embrace. You cover the team’s travel, lodging, meals and local transport through this stage and the signing of your contract.
III
Your contract
Written from what we learned about you: where, how long, what level, which teachers.
IV
Your training
If there’s no deal, the team goes home. If there is, the team stays and trains you for as long as your program requires.
Your team
Always led by Walter Rivera Santos
A team of three or five: teachers who lead and follow, and a body-mechanics specialist. The same people who meet you in the first session stay to train you.
Where
We come to you: your city, your home, your hotel. We create a private training space with the floor, the sound, the light and the privacy this work needs. Or you come to a location we arrange, in Buenos Aires or another tango city.
How training is scheduled
Up to 80 hours a month (the equivalent of 4 hours a day, 5 days a week), arranged entirely around you: any days, longer or shorter sessions, several short blocks in one day. You receive your program and its fee in your contract, after the first session.
Before training begins
A recent medical exam, and active insurance that covers the training and everything related to it. This isn’t therapy, and it isn’t a medical or psychological diagnosis. It’s tango training, designed with unusual care.
Read where it began
Walter learned tango this way himself and wrote about it in EMBRACE: The Tango Apprentice, the memoir of how he learned tango at Mariposita de San Telmo.
Why it starts with a first session
A program that fits everyone fits no one.
Walter Rivera Santos, a former Combat Medic who spent his career reading bodies in emergencies, learned tango this way himself: first understand the person, then train exactly what they need.
