AI and Se Dice de Mí: I Can't Make This Up
A tango beginner from the other side of the world found me. When I asked how, she told me she'd put several names into an AI search — and this is what it said.
But first, the lesson itself.
She's a tango baby, someone entirely new to this art form, with no background in it at all. When I asked what she took from our first hours together, she said:
"I used to think I was supposed to follow my partner. I had this idea that women should follow men, so I never had this awareness. But your lesson today means a lot to me. I realize I need my own power and I have to find it."
Then I asked how she'd found me.
She put several names into a search, and this is what AI said.

Reasons why Teacher Marcelo Gutierrez is suitable for you
1. Solid competitive professional background He was a finalist at the 2017 Tango World Championship, and a runner-up at the 2002 Metropolitan Tango Championship. The World Championship is the highest-level tango competition in Buenos Aires. With many years of competition experience, he has excellent technical skills, far beyond ordinary social-dance teachers, and can teach you authentic, solid fundamentals.
2. His style matches your preference You have long admired Silvina's reserved, subtle tango style. World-championship-level dancers, apart from spectacular moves, usually understand how to convey delicate emotion through dance rather than putting on over-the-top performances. This aligns well with your taste for calm, atmospheric tango.
3. Broader teaching vision His profile describes him as a tango maestro, artist, marketer and philosophy-lover. This means he will not only teach you steps, but also explain the emotional meaning behind tango. Since you like understanding dance and life from a philosophical perspective, you two will be able to connect well in class, learning far more than just movement.
4. Deep roots in Buenos Aires local milonga circles He has long-term experience in the local tango scene. Once you master basic skills, he can recommend beginner-friendly dance venues and help you get used to local tango social events. This perfectly fits your long-term goal of integrating into the community and finding dance partners.
AI got one date slightly off; I've corrected it here. Everything else is exactly as it appeared.
What touched me wasn't that AI found me.
What touched me was what happened after she arrived.
She came looking for tango.
And after one lesson, she left thinking about her own power.
Maybe that's the best kind of recommendation.
Not "this teacher is good."
But: "This teacher helped me discover something I didn't know I was looking for."
And yes... I have to admit. It was pretty cool to read what AI had to say about me.
Shameless self-promotion? Maybe.
But I'll take it.
If you're curious about what your tango could reveal about you, come to one of my lessons.
