Educational Mission
FLOR ARGENTO is a professional dancer, tango teacher, curator, producer, and filmmaker with more than twenty-five years of experience. She studied History at the University of Buenos Aires.She teaches tango in various venues, including two emblematic milongas of Buenos Aires: Milonga Parakultural and El Beso, where she founded and directed her own tango school, Besos Brujos Tango Escuela, from 2013 to 2019.She has also worked as a guest teacher and advisor in important cultural spaces of the international tango circuit in Europe for more than twenty years.
She has participated in the official programming of the Buenos Aires International Tango Festival with her documentaries, classes, and activities.She was part of the Ballet School ACETA, Academy of Argentine Tango Styles, of the Ministry of Culture of the Argentine Nation. She completed twenty-eight tours in Europe in the main tango circuits.Trained as a dancer, she worked and took classes with renowned milongueros from the Golden Age of Tango, such as Nélida Fernando, Pupi Castello, Toto Faraldo, Tete Rusconi, and Carlos Gavito. From each of them she learned the richness and variety of styles within tango.Transmitting this knowledge to future generations of dancers is part of her mission as a teacher and part of her artistic project to preserve the living heritage of Argentine culture in relation to tango.In her productions and curatorships in the performing, visual, and audiovisual arts, she proposes an innovative and contemporary approach that gives tango a new perspective, always attentive to its value as part of the identity and history of Argentine society and culture.Her proposal of historical heritage and memory through tango dance has the value of bequeathing to future generations not only tangible testimonies from key figures of the Golden Age of Tango, 1940-1955, but also a choreographic, bodily, and aesthetic language characteristic of the dance of the milongueras and milongueros of that time.In this comprehensive proposal, she develops, on the one hand, a work of curation and preservation and, at the same time, a living heritage transmitted through the body and dance and its language to future generations of dancers.
In 2017, she curated and produced the multimedia exhibition Última Tanda: Milongueras y Milongueros de Buenos Aires. In a contemporary format, visitors engage with recreated milonga spaces and experience the testimonies of milongueros through micro-stories, photographs, GIFs, and a short film with unpublished material made especially for the project.The exhibition features an innovative, interactive 360° full-immersion proposal, where the audience dances with the milongueros and becomes part of this tango embrace ritual.
Última Tanda was recognized by the Buenos Aires City Legislature as a project of cultural interest. It was presented both in Buenos Aires at the BA Tango Festival and World Cup, and abroad: Ljubljana and Maribor, Slovenia; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Ajaccio, Corsica; Lille, Marseille, and Paris, France, with a special invitation to the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris; New York, at Purchase University; Brussels, Antwerp, and Mouscron, Belgium; Köln, Germany; Klagenfurt, Austria; and Trieste, Udine, Brescia, Parma, Milan, and Roma, Italy.
Since 2023, together with Delphine Perrot and Marcelo Mazzarello, she has been developing Vivir de Noche, a living heritage project on the essence of tango and the transmission of the secrets and yeites of the dance between generations of milongueros. In its first stage, 2022–2023, the project included a series of live drawing performances projected in major milongas of Buenos Aires, and in 2026–2027 it will take shape as a book and a virtual 360° interactive immersion exhibition.

Since 2024 she also co-directs, with Marcelo Mazzarello, Apología del Tango an itinerant cultural tango festival in Buenos Aires, Austria, Italy, Holland and Slovenie.
