Marina Izaguirre and Hadi de Gaén in a tango embrace

About us

We areMarina & Hadi

Tinta Roja is our way of sharing what moves us, both on and beyond the dance floor.

We come from different parts of the world, carrying our own histories, memories, and cultures. Tango is the language through which our worlds met, and through which we continue to discover one another.

The Porteña

Marina Izaguirre

I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, the birthplace and beating heart of tango. For more than ten years, I have danced, studied, and explored tango in its many forms.

I hold a degree in Tango Interpretation from UNA, the National University of the Arts, where I deepened my understanding of tango as music, movement, culture, and artistic expression.

I am passionate about tango in its musical form and about movement as a force of transformation—of oneself and of the person one embraces. For me, the embrace is a language through which we listen to and interpret the music and poetry of tango.

In my dancing, I express more than rhythm. I carry my origins, my culture, my past, and my present.

The Tehrani

Hadi de Gaén

I was born in Tehran. My origins and life journey, together with my passion for Argentine tango, shape the way I understand and embody its music.

I seek to reflect the character, complexity, and poetry of tango in its truest essence—not through predetermined movements, but by listening closely and allowing each step to emerge from the music. I let the art of improvisation unfold in the moment, revealing something unexpected and continuing to surprise me with every tango.

My embrace is an invitation: a space of trust and attention that guides each movement and allows us to recreate the music together, with all its depth, tension, silence, and emotion.

Together

The tango between us

As a couple, we dance through listening, presence, and mutual respect. We understand tango as a living dialogue: between two people, between their bodies and the music, and between memory and the present moment.

We do not seek to impose movement on the music. We allow the music to shape the embrace, the pause, the intention, and every step we create together.

We do not simply dance tango. We listen to it, feel it, and share it.
