Home Welcome Mercurio is the Spanish word for Mercury which is an ancient symbol of connection. Mercury is the mythological figure of the messenger with wings on his feet guiding mortals to the afterlife and promoting trade between communities. This image resonates with our experience of Argentine tangoin its embrace where two partners connect to become one and in its communities where dancers and visitors meet across boundaries of identity class and generation. Founded by Sharna Fabiano in 2008 Tango Mercurio works to develop these connections presenting the creative tango tradition as a way for individuals to find balance in their lives and discover the unique contributions they have to make in the world through creative expression in social dance.
