A Night of Film & Tango
An evening that moves you - on and off the dance floor.

Step into a unique tango experience that begins with cinema and ends with a celebration. This is not your typical milonga night. It’s a journey into the heart of tango through storytelling, film, and connection.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:

7:30 PM – Doors Open
Arrive early, grab a glass of wine, and mingle with fellow tango lovers.
The vibe: warm, relaxed, and full of anticipation.

8:00 PM - Exclusive Film Screening + Q&A
I Had the Heart - A film by Oliver Kolker
This deeply personal story weaves together tango, music, memory, and redemption. It’s a cinematic journey into the emotional depths of tango, not just as a dance, but as a way of healing, connecting, and surviving.

From the director of 'Fermín – Glories of Tango', this is a rare chance to see a film that’s not available online, in theaters, or anywhere else in Boston.

Following the screening, join Oliver Kolker for a 30-minute Q&A.
This is your moment to ask questions, hear behind-the-scenes stories, and connect with the artist behind the vision.

10:15 PM – 1:00 AM – Milonga with Oliver
The film ends, but the night is just beginning.Put on your shoes and hit the floor for a special milonga where Oliver himself will be dancing. Whether you get a chance to cabaceo him or just watch him move through the room, you’ll feel the power of a true tango artist in motion.

Welcome to Ultimate Tango! Learn Argentine Tango as a Philosophy of Life

Here you will find all you need to become a true member of the Tango community. We focus on developing in you the true understanding of what Tango is. Tango is not just a dance. It’s philosophy, the way of comprehending the world, the way of building relationships, the way to understand yourself.Here at Ultimate Tango, we teach you the tango alphabet, we teach you how to create words, we teach you basic rules, basic steps, basic combinations. We teach you all you need to know about music, connection, lead and follow, types of tangos, and more. From there you can launch onto your own journey to discover what Tango means for you. We don’t want to limit you with a multitude of steps and clatter your memory with combinations you can never remember. Our goal is to give you a true understanding of Tango structure and music, mechanics of the movement, technique, and cadence. From there you can start improvising on your own. Find your own style.

We offer carefully structured courses at 5 different levels – beginner, pre-intermediate, intermediate, re-advanced, advanced to students from Greater Boston Area and New England. We also offer workshops to address more specialized topics. Private lessons are available for those who wish to progress at their own pace.

For those who are too far away from us, we offer a huge variety of online courses on-demand, as well as private lessons through Zoom.

DON'T REPEAT MINDLESSLY. LEARN THROUGH UNDERSTANDING.
