In 2009, Korey Ireland (with the support of Mercurio Tango) founded the Community Tango Orchestra of Washington DC. Since then, he has been directing ensembles in Berlin, London, and Nairobi, and supporting a growing network of groups around the world. The Community Tango Orchestra is comprised largely of dancers who already share the motivation to create good music for dancing and opportunities for the music and dance to develop together around the shared joys of creating. Musicians and dance historians explain the phenomenon of Golden Era Tango music in very practical terms: The musicians were playing music constantly for dancers. In many cases, multiple gigs each night. A very natural symbiosis occurred. Music and dance — each depending on, and being enriched by the other. The Community Tango Orchestra recreates this symbiosis and plays for the enjoyment of friends on the dance floor.
