Tango Libertad is a collaboration between Madame C & Madame K. Their love of tango is what brought them together and their passion for liberation fuels their creativity. For many of us dancing tango brings out our truest self, but can we truly be ourselves if we are not free to be?
Madame C stands among North America's most distinguished tango performers and instructors. Her exceptional talent earned her the US Tango Championship and led her to the finals in Tango Salon and semifinals at the prestigious 2005 Buenos Aires World competition. While renowned for her sophisticated choreography and masterful performances, Madame C's greatest impact lies in her exceptional teaching ability. She has a rare gift for unraveling the complexities of tango while igniting a deep passion for the dance in her students, fostering a thriving tango community.
Before devoting herself to tango, Madame C was an innovative visual artist who exhibited in prestigious galleries from Soho to Spain, with summer showcases in Provincetown.
She developed a unique technique of pouring incompatible materials like acrylics, oils, desk stain, and gold leaf onto metal sheets, then swirling them with a spatula to create expressions of movement and sensuality.
Today she travels the world sharing her passion for both tango and art. To see more of Madame C's work, visit her online studio.
Madame K’s love affair with tango began in Paris, while at the Trocadero plaza she heard sounds of unfamiliar music that reached her heart. Under the watchful eye of La Dame de Fer completely captivated she watched as couples navigated the floor lost in each other's embrace.
Years went by, and she admired her yet-to-be lover longingly from afar. One day she was reading an article about Edie Windsor, who famously said “don’t postpone joy!”
And so she went on a search to find an instructor that would embrace the idea of a female leader. Luckily, she found Madame C!
