Tango 21 Dance Theater uses the language of Argentine Tango to tell original, contemporary stories through live theater. Our productions combine traditional tango technique with contemporary dance styles, live music and actors.

T21DT was founded in 2014 by Jorge Niedas and Liz Sung who write and choreograph each original show, drawing on tango’s poetic lyrics and the rich variations in this classical dance form. The company started as an extension of Niedas’ Argentine Tango dance school, Tango 21, and is now comprised of Chicago-area dancers, actors and musicians. Our shows tour year round throughout the Chicago area and Midwest.
