I’ve been living in Buenos Aires for over 16 years, and from the very beginning, I’ve been guiding people around the city, showing them the best tango I know! I offer Tango Walks, where you’ll explore parts of the city which have a special connection to tango. I’ll share both historical insights and today insider knowledge, as I’m actively part of the tango community today.

The bandoneón is a rare instrument with a history deeply intertwined with tango and Argentina. In this presentation, I weave my personal story with that of the instrument and the tango. Argentina is now my home country, where I live as an immigrant, completely captivated by this old beautiful instrument and the fascinating world of tango. During the talk, I’ll play several pieces on the bandoneón to demonstrate the different ways the instrument is used.
I’m offering online guided readings of Tango Poetry for those interested in tango, Argentine history, Spanish, a good tango story and poetry.
The readings are in both English and Danish, and you don’t need to know Spanish to participate.
Next readings:
Homero Manzi - Mondays in November 2025 at 7-8.30 pm (CET)
Enrique Santos Discépolo - Tuesdays in November 2025 at 7-8.30 pm (CET)
The readings will have four chapters represented in four meetings of 1,5 hour and will be on Zoom.

Deltager i Homero Manzi 2023:
Kan helt klart anbefales. Stine er en god formidler og det er ssuper spændende at dykke ned i Homero Manzi´s historie og inflydelse på tangoen. Og det er et godt sted at starte sin rejse ind i tangomusikken…
Deltager i Homero Manzi 2023:
Kan anbefales, overvejer en “ommer”/gentagelse!
Deltager i Homero Manzi 2024:
Kurset var vældigt inspirerende, kombinationen af musik, poesi,
historie og sprog er ret genial. 🙂
Deltager i Homero Manzi 2024:
Det har været et meget fint forløb. Perfekt med 4 gange. Godt materiale. Fint varieret med musik ind imellem. Og jeg vil gerne deltage næste gang.
Deltager i Homero Manzi 2024:
Tak for et spændende og udfordrende kursus. Det har været interessant at få et indblik i Manzi’s digtning, som jeg synes er ret svært tilgængelig, men efterfølgende har det hjulpet mig meget ved at læse det igen med ”ubi sunt” briller på.
Med baggrund i det netop afsluttede kursus har jeg lyst til at bemærke, at min indgangsvinkel til kurset var tango-dansen, og kun meget lidt kendskab til det Spanske sprog. Så jeg (og langt de fleste danske tangodansere) forstår ikke teksterne. Jeg/vi danser tango fordi det er dejligt, spændende, udfordrende, sjovt, vi opnår en fællesskabsfølelse og alt sammen foregår til spændende musik. Vi har det sjovt sammen – i vores glade uvidenhed om hvad teksterne siger. Hvordan er det for argentinerne? Lytter de til teksterne, og hvad betyder det mon for den måde de danser en given tango på. Tidligt i min tango-karriere snakkede jeg med en af mine tango-venner om hvad teksterne mon egentlig handlede om, hvortil han sagde, at det vist var bedst ikke at tænke på, for det var vist nok noget sørgeligt noget. Senere har jeg selv prøvet at oversætte nogle af teksterne, og jeg må jo give ham ret, også efter Manzi-kurset.
Så jeg vil gerne have flere kurser i tangoens lyrik og se om der dog ikke kunne dukke en lykkelig kærlighedshistorie op – som f.eks. Tango i Nizza af Evert Taube.
This podcast is about all the different dilemmas that can appear when you’re a tango dancer.
In every episode I’ve invited three tango experts to answer dilemmas that anonymous dancers have written to me. The first six episodes are in Danish. Two new chapters in English have been published.
Tangolab is a didactic platform about tango and Argentine Culture that I have developed together with Luigi Coviello.
TANGOLAB is based on a great interest in the tango as a music, dance and culture. We find a special didactic potential in the tango as a way to communicate and as a powerful experience. We use our own experience and passion to transmit the genre and to give the students a look into a unique foreign culture which is very different from what you normally experience as a young European.

or Tango Encounters in Buenos Aires (AR) and Bisserup (DK) in English.
These encounters are centered around the dance, and I’m part of the organizing team. My role is to introduce participants to the broader world of tango, helping them understand how vast and rich this culture is. By experiencing other aspects—such as the music, the lyrics, and the history—they will deepen their connection to the dance, gaining a more holistic understanding of tango and the spirit of Buenos Aires. We’ve been hosting these encounters for over 10 years in Buenos Aires. Recently, we've added a Danish version in Bisserup, where we immerse ourselves in tango for a week by the sea, in a small fishing village on Sealand.
