The Facilitator
Dancing between two worlds
Diego Sanlor’s passion bridges the worlds of tango and alternative festival culture. His journey began in 2012, the year he moved to Berlin and discovered tango, beginning a connection that has shaped his path ever since.
His love of dance naturally led him to teaching, and since 2017 he has been offering tango workshops at electronic music festivals, conscious gatherings, and dance retreats.
Diego draws inspiration from contact improvisation and somatic practices. His approach is rooted in connection, consent, and expression, making tango accessible and meaningful in festival contexts.
The Workshop
Crafted for events & festivals
Embrace Connection Tango explores tango as a social dance, with a focus on listening, presence and connection. Its mission is to move beyond rigid roles, stereotypes and traditional technique.
The workshop offers a safe and open space where improvisation becomes a playful tool, giving each person the freedom to explore and reinterpret tango together.
The workshop is designed to be inclusive and accessible, welcoming everyone regardless of their dance background. You don’t need any previous experience or a partner to join. Just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to learn!
You’ll be guided through the foundational elements of tango, including basic posture and steps. These essential skills will give you the confidence to navigate the dance floor and enjoy the beauty of tango.
The workshop emphasizes the joy of exploration and bonding with your dance partner. The aim is to create a relaxed environment where you can freely express yourself through movement.
Tango is not just about following steps; it’s a dance of creativity and spontaneity. The workshop encourages you to explore your creative potential and experiment with improvisation, making each dance uniquely your own.
Experience the meditative aspect of tango as you move in harmony with the music and your partner. This “walking meditation” state allows you to connect deeply with the present moment and find inner peace through dance.
The workshop culminates in a “milonga,” a fun and social dance session where everyone can practice what they’ve learned. It’s a time to socialize and enjoy the communal spirit of tango.

Diego was very patient and attentive as he broke down the steps for us to capture. Ended the class with great satisfaction and some cool moves I can be proud of 🙂 ... a great kind teacher with a beautiful spirit !
Thank you Diego!
No matter how much of pre-experience people had, everyone had a lot of fun and the group became one after the two hours.
Highly recommend 🍀
Open to all sorts of expectations and teaching levels, Diego would be my first choice as a tango teacher at any time.
By “chance,” I wandered to the place where the energy of love revealed its full power and beauty that evening. With tears in my eyes, I know I will never forget that moment.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it 🙏
We started with private classes in which he made me understand that the most important thing in tango is feeling.
Diego created a welcoming and supportive atmosphere, thanks to that approach I could learn tango with fun!
