Hello from the Kartell Store - Essess Designer Fabbrica in Wong Chuk Hang

I first met Antimo in November 2020 when I joined a tango dance class. While I was aware that learning a new dance would be a challenge, the complexity of tango took me by surprise. Intuition, improvisation, interpretation, musicality and agility are just a few of the skills a tango dancer needs to nurture.

Antimo is highly skilled in many forms of dance, including the Argentinian trinity of Waltz, Milonga and Tango. Antimo’s dad build the foundation for him to become a master of the dance. As a fairly unknown UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage, Antimo made it his mission to dispel misconceptions about tango across Asia. You can find him at a Milonga, teach group or private classes or adjudicating at competitions.

In this episode with Antimo we talk about his progression in the art form, the history of tango and its varieties, the significance of the music and orchestra and where things are headed in the decade ahead. You may also pick up some pieces of advice along the way.
