How Abrazo.app was born
In tango, many important connections still depend on chance.
- Someone wants to start classes, but has no partner.
- A student wants to practise, but does not know who with.
- An organizer posts an event on several channels, but not everyone sees it.
- A school has active classes, workshops and milongas, but the information stays scattered.
- And very often, the people who hold the community together end up spending far too much time connecting people by hand.
Abrazo.app was born to make something that has always been essential in tango easier: finding each other.
The platform brings together in one place events, profiles, maps, favourites, dance partner search and internal messaging, so that dancers, teachers, schools and organizers can connect in a clearer, more direct and more human way.
For those who dance, Abrazo makes it possible to discover classes, practicas, milongas, workshops and events nearby or in other cities. It also helps to find people to dance, practise or attend an event with.
For those who organize, Abrazo makes it possible to publish activities, show an active calendar, give every event more visibility and make it easier for new students or guests to arrive with less friction.
Abrazo.app does not replace the community. It strengthens it.
Tango keeps happening in the class, on the floor, in the music and in the embrace. But a community needs tools that help people find each other, get organized and take part more.
That is why I created Abrazo.app: to solve a problem I saw repeat itself for years in classes, workshops, festivals and tango communities in different cities.

I am Mario De Camillis, born in Buenos Aires, an Argentine tango dancer, teacher and performer for more than 25 years. I was a two-time Metropolitan champion in milonga and vals, a finalist of the Tango World Championship, and I have had the pleasure of teaching in Buenos Aires, New York, Berlin, Cagliari, Basel and many other international communities.
After so many years connecting students, organizing classes and watching tango communities grow, I understood that a tool designed from inside tango was missing.
Abrazo.app is that tool.
