About
Al pi
A shared project built on lineage, chemistry and a deep respect for the tradition — danced al piso, close to the floor.
Griselda and Nicolás met in Buenos Aires in 2012 and launched their shared project in 2016, quickly becoming a leading couple in European tango.
Griselda & Nicolás met in Buenos Aires in 2012 and launched their project in Berlin in 2016. They’ve since won European Tango & Milonga Champions (Münster, 2020), Tango en Seine (Paris, 2021), and the First Polish Tango Cup - Tango & Vals (Poznan, 2023).
They dance and teach tango al piso, a grounded, floor-level style honoring many traditions. Theirs is tango as conversation: close, honest, improvised.
