Copes Tango Dance Tips

It is the only dance that allows imagination and creativity to three minutes, a story of love, hate. But three minutes, if there is some body connection, they forget any problem. "That's the feeling that makes you dance the two by four. And do not miss the allusion to the virtues of the tango." I think it has many but if I had to choose, I would say it is its ability to adapt to any day. " said Juan C. Copes.


Many years passed since the days when a thin young man, the "credit" of the bar girls dazzled the Mataderos and Villa Pueyrredón. By then, the boy who was torn between tango and electronic engineering career, he won a dance contest at Luna Park, in 1951, where there were more than three hundred pairs. And that night was the hinge, the turning point. The time to make a decision. Just started the 50's and I danced with her ??partner who would be in much of his career: Maria Nieves Rego .


They were the perfect tandem, the prototype of couples who overcame his presence, the legend of the quickest legs. Copes and Nieves were partners, lovers. They loved each other, divorced, they hated. He married another woman and had two daughters, but kept on dancing with Nieves. Until the relationship became untenable. They separated and he found his daughter Johana a new partner.
