Tamango's Bio


...And the dream came stronger, always going forward in front of my eyes. We, family of men and women, never cease to surprise each other as our body and our mind are filled with the passing of a new time, and a dance yet to come. How beautiful in their day, and the sun kept shining, another dream crossed my way, and I smiled...
-Tamango

Tamango (Artistic Director, Tap, Didjeridoo, Drums, Spoken Word) is a dancer, musician and painter whose revolutionary approach to tap transforms his dance into music with a sharpened sense of style and awe-inspiring fluidity. Born in Cayenne, French Guiana, Tamango moved to Paris at age eight and began a formal education in art. He started tap dancing in his early 20's at the American Center in Paris and the Beaux Arts de Paris, which he left to join the university of the streets before moving to New York City.
