State of the Arts Episode 13 The great Argentine Tango teacher, producer, perfomer and choreographer Sergio Segura is my very special guest. Born in Argentina, he moved to New York City and discovered his talent for the Argentine Tango in New York. After extensive studies and interviews in his native city of Buenos Aires, he has developed a personal understanding of the roots of Tango and its historical evolution. He is the founder and director of the very well-known Strictly Tango NYC, a school for Argentine Tango. Through Sergio Segura Tango Productions, he organized many popular events including Amor y Tango in at the Highline Ballroom and the first NYC Queer Tango Festival which was featured in the New York Times and Revista VIVA. He has toured the world teaching and performing. He has also produced five Tango instructional DVDs. After much research, he has developed a signature Argentine Tango instructional system called The Tango Connection which is a cutting-edge approach to teaching the Argentine Tango. For the past decade, Sergio has worked at making Tango accessible to all through partnerships with NYC Parks and Events. He has also recently taken up photography, displaying his beautifully unique work on social media. It was a privilege to have this extraordinary Argentine Tango master and aficionado in many other art forms on State of the Arts!
