Tango Discovery is a unique dancing and teaching method founded by Mauricio Castro, a renowned dancer and teacher of Argentine Tango. The method focuses on improvisation skills through a simple and dynamic technique. Castro believes that tango should be accessible to anyone, as it is something as pleasurable and common as breathing.

The Tango Discovery method is recognized worldwide by hundreds of dancers, and it is available not only by attending his classes but also in his books and cutting-edge multimedia CD-ROMs.

The books and multimedia CD-ROMs are available in several languages and include Tango, The Structure of the Dance Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, as well as Tango Discovery Matrix. The latter is a set of sequences that is considered the ultimate key for success in the tango world. The multimedia CD-ROMs include videos and animated sequences that help students develop improvisation skills. The exercises are designed to make the dancer more elegant and gain more balance while dancing.

Although Castro's Tango Discovery website no longer opens, interested readers and tango dancers can still become acquainted with his unique dancing and teaching method through his books and multimedia CD-ROMs.

Tango Discovery is a unique tango teaching method that differs from other tango teaching methods in several ways. Here are some of the differences:

• Focus on improvisation: Tango Discovery focuses on developing improvisation skills through a simple and dynamic technique. This is different from other tango teaching methods that may focus more on choreographed routines.
• Emphasis on posture and walks: Tango Discovery celebrates different types of postures and walks, so students are encouraged to find their own style. This is different from other tango teaching methods that may emphasize a specific posture or walk.
• Multimedia resources: Tango Discovery offers books and multimedia CD-ROMs that include videos and animated sequences to help students develop improvisation skills. This is different from other tango teaching methods that may rely more on in-person classes or written materials.
• Availability: Tango Discovery is available not only through in-person classes but also through books and multimedia CD-ROMs. This makes it more accessible to students who may not have access to in-person classes or who prefer to learn at their own pace.
• Teaching requirements: To become a Tango Discovery teacher or to put up a Tango Discovery school, one must complete specific training and workshops related to Tango Discovery. This is different from other tango teaching methods that may not have specific requirements for teachers.Overall, Tango Discovery offers a unique approach to tango teaching that emphasizes improvisation, posture, and walks, and provides multimedia resources for students to learn at their own pace.
