He discovered this wonderful rhythm thanks to his grandfather, who had been a \u2018milonguero\u2019 during the golden age and always listened to Carlos Di Sarli and An\u00edbal Troilo in his house. When he lost his dear grandfather in 1996, Hern\u00e1n\u2019s curiosity took him to a tango lesson with his sister- \u00a0they started a weekly course with a disciple of the famous tango couple \u2018los Dinzel\u2019. But he only discovered his passion when he first set foot in a milonga in 1997. Since then, his feet have not left the dance floor anymore. He studied with many famous tango masters- \u00a0with Alejandra Manti\u00f1\u00e1n, and Gabriel Angi\u00f3 &amp; Natalia Games being the ones who shaped his style. He has been teaching since 2002 in various cities in Argentina, America, Europe and Asia. From 2003 to 2008, he dedicated himself to stage tango, performing every evening in the shows of Buenos Aires. In September 2014 he went to live in Europe, where he returned to tango as a profession, dedicating himself mainly to teaching Tango Sal\u00f3n. He has brought Argentine tango to Italy, the UK, Belgium, Spain, Denmark, Israel, Turkey, Portugal and Switzerland, transmitting the style of the Buenos Aires milongas and the passion that has been in his blood for 2 generations.<\/p>\n<p>The Shepherd Hall<\/p>\n<p>St Thomas\u2019s Hospital<\/p>\n<p>Westminster Bridge Rd<\/p>\n<p>Lambeth<\/p>\n<p>London<\/p>\n<p>SE1 7EH<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How to get there?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whack the address into Google Maps, or\u2026<\/p>\n<p>BY TUBE:<\/p>\n<p>Either WESTMINSTER, cross Westminster Bridge, St Thomas\u2019s on the right-hand side<\/p>\n<p>\u2026OR WATERLOO, Walk south-west on York Rd towards Chicheley St, Turn left onto Forum Magnum Square, Turn right onto York Rd, Turn left onto Westminster Bridge Rd\/A302<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BY CAR:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is pay car park at St Thomas\u2019s Hospital, which you approach from the south.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2.00 pm \u2013 7.00 pm &#8211; NOTE earlier start. &#8211; 16th December at The Shepherd Hall, St Thomas\u2019s Hospital overlooking the Thames ALL PROFITS help St Thomas\u2019s to buy a DREAM MACHINE \u2013 Full details here: https:\/\/www.supportevelina.org.uk\/donate\/dream-machine 200 pm VALS CLASS \u201ccadence, rhythm and circular movements for the dance floor\u201d with the talented La\u00edsa Sousa &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/?p=205\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Joint Tango on the Thames \u2013 Queer Tango London Christmas Charity Milonga!&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=205"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210,"href":"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205\/revisions\/210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tangoonthethames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
