Sergio Segura
Sergio Segura is a tango show producer, teacher, and choreographer. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he has an intimate understanding of the roots of tango and its historical evolution after decades of interviews and videographic research with milongueros from his native city. Through Sergio Segura Tango Productions, he organized the first NYC Queer Tango Festival (featured in the New York Times, Revista VIVA) and produced some of New York City’s most beloved tango events, including Tango in the Castle at Morningside Castle and Amor y Tango at the Highline Ballroom. As founder and director of Strictly Tango NYC, he keeps an active teaching schedule involving seminars, group classes, and private lessons, through which he shares his signature tango system based on five connections. Over the last decade, Sergio Segura’s mission has been to make tango accessible to all and his partnerships with NYC Parks and Events have allowed him to teach tango to the masses at Washington Square Park and the multiple recreation centers throughout the city.
His Teaching approach:
Sergio is a tango dancer specialized in social dance and performance dance. He has developed a unique system for teaching both the leading and following roles, which he teaches to individuals just as easily as couples, and he always tailors his teaching to the specific student’s capabilities. His approach to tango is holistic, focusing on “connection” as the fundamental pillar of your dance. Sergio will help you understand your body in space so that you pay attention to the details that make your dance more functional and enjoyable, and so you will learn the dance faster than usual.
He teaches private classes by appointment. To book him, text him at (917)373-7446 or send an email to sergioseguratango@yahoo.com.ar

Jack Hanley
He was introduced to Argentine Tango in 1997 and was strongly influenced by Pablo Veron, Pablo Pugliese, and Puppi Castello. In the past six years his most important Tango studies have been with Sergio Segura, Anton Gazenbeek, Diego Di Falco, Annatina Luck, Junior Cervila, and Eddy Hernandez. Jack believes Tango is a joyful mystery; to experience its truth we must enjoy its endless secrets. As a DJ Jack strives for a fluid milonga experience, creating gentle transitions from high, rocky peaks to deep, soulful valleys. The DJ tells a story, and like any good story it should have a beginning, a middle, and a beautiful end.
