You are at a plateau and want something to challenge you, a new adventure to take you outside of your comfort zone.

You love the idea of exploring tango at the source–something spiritual and sexy at the same time.

What if I told you that you could:

Reconnect to your sensuality
Explore intimacy
Become more confident
Learn to walk in a new, sexy, “tango” way connected to your “pussy” by “pussywalking”!

And you could do all that while also having an amazing immersive vacation in the intoxicating, authentic Buenos Aires tango scene?

You say, God, that sounds amazing but I don’t know how to tango. Or I don’t know if I’m ready for the Buenos Aires milongas (where the tango addicts dance).

You don’t have to know how to tango. You can be a total beginner or have some tango or dance experience. You can be any age.

Sasha’s Tango Adventure is for women (and men) who are asking: Can I still live an Adventure that calls to me at this age? When I feel yearnings for passion and connection, what do I do with them? Can I still feel sexy and dance? Yes. We have created the oasis where you can explore all that and bring what you learn back home with you.

My transformative tango team will meet you exactly where you are in your journey to give you the support you need to take your first tango steps in Buenos Aires.

We have been making tango dreams come true since 2014. Through our proven methodology you will discover what tango has to teach you for your confidence, posture, relationships, sensuality, masculinity and femininity, trust, boundaries, and connection to yourself.

You might even have your first tangasm…

This is a tangasm!

We take you to the best friendly milongas in Buenos Aires to immerse you in the culture and teach you the local codes. You will soon be dancing like a local.

First Coaching, Then Tango!

Tango can be an amazing path of physical and psychological healing. That’s why I designed the Tango Adventure as a course of personal development.

WHAT YOU GET

Sasha’s Tango Adventure–designed by Quirkyalone author and feminist life coach Sasha Cagen–is a 7-day immersion program in transformative tango in Buenos Aires to help you learn tango and what tango has to teach you for your life, whether you have been dancing for years or you are a total beginner, at any age. If you’re looking for an amazing dance vacation in South America, this is it!

You can learn Argentine tango anywhere but to truly understand this dance you have to come to the source where tango was born among immigrants in a collision of cultures over 100 years ago. Our team teaches the essence of tango: Connection.

Buenos Aires is uniquely pulsing creative city–it’s the most cultural city in the world! You’ll find stylish people and extravagant architecture, wide boulevards and leafy parks, gastronomic delights, and of course, tango in the streets. Through Sasha’s Tango Adventure, you’ll get an intimate view of Buenos Aires through the eyes of locals combined with the perfect introduction to tango.

what past adventurers say

Kerry Lander, Melbourne Australia

The Tango Adventure was one of the most valuable, transformative experiences in my recent life! As a coaching client of Sasha’s, being able to have face-to-face sessions was the icing on the cake. I recommend the Tango Adventure to anyone who is looking to connect with tango at its source and discover Buenos Aires in a gentler, friendlier, more fun way than you might on your own.

Christian Isely, New Mexico

Sasha’s Tango Adventure was an incredible and transformative experience. It caught just the right balance of teaching a new skill, sparking new friendships, exploring the best of Buenos Aires, and opening a new world. Tango is indeed an entire world in itself.

Denise Breheny, Los Angeles, CA

I started at zero and now I can get out there on the dance floor and people are saying it looks like tango! I’ve had an amazing time and if you are thinking about coming definitely you should. The music is so passionate, and soulful. It’s undescribable seeing the live tango bands.

Jeannette Gray, Melbourne, Australia

I traveled from Australia to South America for the first time solo without speaking Spanish. My time in Buenos Aires doing Sasha’s Tango Adventure was a pivotal and wonderful experience. Sasha and her team are the most lovely people, all of whom in their own ways appreciate the beauty and humanity at many levels of this transformational dance.

Diana Marx, Romania

Sasha’s Tango Adventure was everything I needed at that point. I was dancing tango for a few months and literally terrified to go to a milonga. My goal was to become a better dancer obviously but moreso to gain the confidence to enjoy myself at a milonga. This week gave me everything I needed, a few private classes with a stellar teacher, Sasha’s coaching skills, the amazing Goddess and pussywalking workshop and Wanda’s incredible support and sensitivity when it came to milonga outings. Wanda is vibrant and kind and a natural when it comes to pick up vibes and put one at ease, not to mention a graceful tango dancer. These ladies rock!

Paul Mooney, Rumford, RI

I met Sasha at a Quirkyalone meetup in Providence. Not being faint of heart, understanding and embracing the concept of quirkyalone, I said I would go. I had a tremendous experience. I encourage any man or woman to have this experience. Sasha’s trips are not to be missed!

Sabine Tuzik, Washington, DC

I’ve been raving about the Tango Adventure. It was by far and large the best vacation I’ve had in years. So many encounters and communion with like-hearted souls. I also love that tango will give me a path to travel and meet people, especially when I transition into retirement 2-4 years from now.

Claudia Fiaschetti, San Francisco, CA

I would do the Tango Adventure again in a heartbeat! The true joy I saw in Buenos Aires was from people living very large lives. I appreciated the level of intimacy required from tango, the balance between owning yourself and yielding to your partner. There are vital people dancing and living, no matter their age.

WHERE YOU WILL DANCE

You’ll visit a variety of milongas (the sacred places where tango is danced) with your Tango Fairygodmother (or father). From the elegant to the alternative, you can be part of this.

Add a Tango God/dess Shoot

The Tango Goddess Photo Shoot is a unique personal development/creative experience I developed with my team to help you get back in touch with your sensuality and beauty at every age … to find your unique Tango Goddess in you. The Tango Goddess Photo Shoot puts you back in contact with you. It’s a very Buenos Aires experience to remember.

You will be working with a hyper-talented and committed photographer who shoots with Netflix and major Argentine film productions (SONY) as Director of Photography.

Why I created the Tango Adventure

Tango Adventure founder Sasha with Tango Fairygodmother Marce and Tango Fairygodfather Kevin dancing in the background

I’m Sasha Cagen, author of the cult hit book Quirkyalone and To-Do List, a Rhode Island native who spent many years in the Bay Area, California, before I quit Silicon Valley and life brought me to tango in Buenos Aires. My upcoming memoir Wet is about my own healing journey through sensuality across South America. Wet tells the story of how I wound up in tango in Buenos Aires.

Because I experienced so much transformation through tango I wanted to offer more women the same opportunity through a program that gives you structure and anchors in the tango scene.

In my Tango Adventure program, I give you what took me 10 years to figure out and tap into: the power of sensuality and finding connection through your body in dance. My goal is to set you up not only for a week of bliss and self-exploration in tango but a lifetime of future adventures. We sublimate many desires through shopping, phone addiction, and/or going to the gym when what we are really looking for is connection. Tango is one powerful way to find connection within yourself and to a partner.

Come away with my team to Buenos Aires for a Tango Adventure. It will be an amazing vacation and much more.
