Punk Owned Businesses: The Tango Company
Welcome to the latest installment of rad people owned businesses. I have thus far concentrated on women owned businesses because that's what I'm into, but I'm also into rad PEOPLE and Carlos Cañedo is one of the raddest people I know. He is also a true punk, and the perfect person for the first edition of "punk owned businesses".
Carlos and I met when we were he was on tour with Rice and Bumblescrump, a wee 17 year old methinks. He was a rough and tumble bundle of energy, with an infectious sense of humor and passion. We began to play music in 1994 and have done so off and on for the past 15 years.
Within that span of time Carlos has brought the same passion for music to dance and has become an internationally recognized Tango dancer and instructor. About five years ago he began his own Tango instruction company, called fittingly, The Tango Company, which is THE place to learn Tango in NYC. He and his partner also perform in New York and around the country and world and should not be missed if possible.
If you've ever thought "hey, I'd like to learn Tango" now is your chance. Call Carlos and he'll hook you up.
