Tango Connivence

André Carrière was the first to bring Argentine tango to Sherbrooke with the opening of the school Tango Connivence in 1997.

This school became the main reference of tango culture in the Eastern Townships and was for 15 years the center of the network of tango enthusiasts in the region.

During that period, more than one thousand people were introduced to tango by participating in one of Tango Connivence's beginner courses.

In his studio on Alexandre street, between his frequent visits to Buenos Aires, André has given almost 1900 hours of classes and workshops of all levels and he has hosted and DJd over 800 balls and milongas.

He was also active at CFLX radio station by hosting more than a hundred radio shows on tango music. In June of 2012, after the celebrations of the 15th anniversary of tango in Sherbrooke, the school undertook a major change, since André has decided to stop giving structured group classes and is now focusing mostly on teaching individuals and couples on a private basis in  his personal studio in Sherbrooke (MAP), as well as in Montreal. 

These private lessons are offered to advanced students, and also to motivated beginners as well; they emphasize
the close-embrace style of tango.
