About this site

This site, known today as the Guide to Argentine Tango in New York City, was a labor of love originally created by Richard Lipkin in the 1990’s

Richard was one of the early enthusiasts of Tango in New York. He was a dancer, a DJ and of course  founder of the calendar. In October 2000 we
secured the domain NewYorkTango.com to make it easily accessible and clearly represent its purpose.

Richard passed away in 2014, at which point Gayle Madeira volunteered to take over the task of updating and developing the calendar. Keeping it
up with the growing audience and interest in Tango was her primary goal – which she managed to accomplish with complete success. For remarkable
10 years Gayle was the backbone in this effort, and her hard work kept us all informed. Regretfully, she decided to focus her energies on other projects.

As of Nov 1st, 2024, the site is managed by Carlos Andrés Dueñas, a long time NYC Tanguero, DJ, organizer and instructor.

We encourage the New York Tango community to feel free to come up with ideas and suggestions to better serve us all. Together, we are looking forward to
many more years helping and informing the New York City Argentine Tango Community.
