Driving the passion of the Tango.

Motor racing and the tango: two of the greatest passions of Argentina. But while on the surface the two are very different, if you dig a little deeper you can see they have many things in common.

To find out more, and to see how transferable driving skills are to dancing, Formula E sent Trulli star driver Michela Cerruti and test driver in Buenos Aires Juan Manuel Lopez, to the stunning garden of the Hyatt hotel to be taught a few moves. While the tango is about improvisation and feeding off the passion of your partner, it’s still important to look right. So first off Michela slipped into an elegant black dress and feather boa, while ‘Cochito’ shifted slightly more uncomfortably into a black suit and fedora.

To set the mood Juan Pablo Güerri and Natalia Fossati – our drivers’ instructors for the night – treated us to a fine display of traditional tango. The precision of the footwork, the synchronisation of their movement, the interpretation of the passion made for a powerful and beautiful performance. But could the drivers pick up even the basics in just one, short lesson?

Natalia Fossati’s entrepreneurship, Tango & Tango, was born with the spirit of providing and facilitating an approach to dance from all sides. For this reason, among her services she offers private tours, tours and shows for events. “The goal is to provide something of excellence and quality,” says Fossati, who in addition to being a dancer has a degree in Arts. She has been linked to tango since she was very young, she always wanted to do something related to that world, and after a few years of working as a secretary she launched into the assembly of her dream.
