Katalin Dillmont – a woman, whose personality leaves no one indifferent. Beautiful, bright, with warm, enveloping energy.
She started to dance at the age of 4 years old! She had long journey of competition in ballroom dances and show dance. And in 2014 she felt in deep love with argentine tango. Since that time, she has led her tango school ‘KiTango Budapest’ in Budapest, Hungary. Katalin tells that tango gives her a totally new point of view not only on the dances but also in life.
Besides dancing, she has a master’s in philosophy (also wrote her theses related to dance theory from a philosophical point of view) She occupied with the usage of argentine tango, helping mental traumas and also minor physical disorders. Also, Katalin is certified dance and movement therapist, using the technique of argentine tango even during the therapeutic processes. And among this, Katalin is guest soloist at the Hungarian National Dance Theatre. Katalin deep believes of the power of improvisation and social dancing, emphasizing her classes on the balanced connection in general and the connection not only with the partner but firstly with yourself.
Her philosophy is: Tango is for ALL and the place where we can feel ALL equal disregard of the person’s age, gender, believes. Traditional tangos are all masterpieces, but driving people through a journey of the contemporary vision of the past time this is what she really enjoys!
Katalin loves El Сachivache, Colortango, Analia Goldberg and many more! And also like to play alternative and non-tangos.The most important for her is to drive the attention of the dancers, instead of driving them towards the romance I better like to catch the upbeats and the passion in my tandans. Favourite places where she played as a TDJ: New York and Porto.We are so inspired that you will decorate our “sabbath” with your presence Katalin Dillmont
Gianpio Cappucci – a man with crazy charisma + fantastic life philosophy of ”enjoy the moment, because every moment is unique”.

- “I feel responsible to build a bridge between me and the crowd on the dance floor and establishing a communication which is extremely important in order to feel all kind of vibes we all are able to create”.
- Categorically traditional, he loves tandas from the Gonden Age of Tango (1939-1946) In fact, the 80% of his selection is composed by tandas belonging to that period.
- Tandas from ‘30 and ‘50 complete the selection.
- Gianpio started his tango experience 15 years ago in 2009 after watching to a tango performance in Buenos Aires.
He decided then to move there in 2010 and starting to work in DNI School. In 2016 he came back and after a trip of 7 month he decided to make Poland his new place to live.
Since 2018 he has been running a small school in Cracow, called Volver. “Before to be a tango teacher, I’m a social dancer. Teaching tango, for me it is a sort of philosophy. I’m trying to give my students not only the knowledge they would need but also the consciousness to use it in order to develop their tango even more. Dancing mostly Milonguero style I made musicality and creativity my strength points of teaching”.

He also organizes festivals, balls and milongas, and lead his organization and tango club.
His purpose is to introduce Argentine tango as a way of life, a language and a culture through my courses and theatre performances, to amateurs and professionals as well.
His philosophy is: TANGO – IT KEEPS YOU IN THE PRESENT.
In tango the most important things are not the steps. It’s the connection – to truly experience and feel the movement. These feelings get stuck in us, and they help us to remember, relive and remake a certain movement. The feelings we get from each other and music, lead us. This is the most important threesome: the man, the woman and the music.
He chooses the music to suit the occasion, whether it’s an afternoon matinee, an exclusive grand milonga or a relaxed modern milonga. Traditional, modern, nuevo, and especially new generation music takes the spotlight.It’s cool to be on the same team with you, Laszlo Budai
