Hire Us

Gustavo & Jesica Hornos are originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, the world capital of Tango. They speak fluently English and Spanish.

Because Gustavo and Jesica are specialists in Argentine Tango they can perform a broad range of styles, from the very traditional salon style to the flamboyant stage tango.

The show dance can be one set or multiple sets throughout the evening, using different costumes, props and music each set. Sets can be anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes.

If you have something in mind for your show please ask us! We are able to design our sets to fit your event.

 Yes! In some instances distance/location can vary the total cost of your hire.

In such instances basic travelling expenses will be charged over and above that of your entertainment. If you think this might apply to your event be sure to let us know the location at the time of enquiry and we can discuss this while tailoring your event.

Gustavo and Jesica tend to book out completely so be sure to contact them as soon as you know what day you will need them. If you want to be certain that your event gets on their schedule, it is always better to book the show sooner than later.

Sometimes we can accommodate last minute requests, so don’t hesitate to ask. However, advance notice allows us the time to personalize to your specific event. Please try to plan ahead and give us as much notice as possible. This will increase your odds of us being available for your event.

Please tell us what type of event this is, as this will help in selecting music. We have a vast range of amazing Tango music including Traditional and Nuevo Tango. We will bring the custom music selection to your event. Please have a stereo or sound system that will play from our devices (Ipad, Laptop Computer, etc) and connectors for large and small systems. If your system has these connections please let us know. Your sound system must be loud enough to drown out any conversation and must be audible in all corners of the room.

Please check the sound equipment beforehand to get the best results for your event!

We are accustomed to dancing in many different environments from small living rooms to huge theatrical stages. Please consider having a clean and clear “stage area” (of at least  20 x 10 sq feet and ideally around 30 x 20 sq feet or more). We always try our best to make anything work. Please tell us the material of the floor surface where we will be dancing. It is important that the floor is leveled and without any cracks, holes or unnecessary obstacles for a seamless performance. If you intend the show to be outdoors please specify so proper foot wear can be worn. This information will all be discussed during your consultation.

Expect the highest quality tango costumes available and ready with professional hair and makeup for your event. People always comment on Gustavo & Jesica’s million dollar look!

If for any reason you have a conservative guest list and would prefer a covered costume or there is a particular color or style that would better seem to match the lighting, background or theme of an event, let us know in advance and we will likely be able to dress accordingly.

Yes! Please make sure that there is a safe, private and secure place for the dancers to change, freshen up and place their things. Also, it is always appreciated to have drinking water available.

Fortunately, we are equipped with a GPS navigation system that allows us to find places very easily. We just need for you to provide us with an exact address. If you know of an easier way to get there than internet/GPS directions, please let us know.

It is also nice to give the dancers a contact person they can call if they get lost or hit unexpected roadblocks or delays. If it is difficult to find parking around your event, be sure to let the dancers know what their options are, street parking, parking garages, etc., so the dancers can allow time and take into account any parking fees they may be responsible for during the night. If you can arrange for some kind of parking for them in difficult areas this will be very helpful.

Yes, we will email or send by mail a tango show contract that defines the expectations from both parties which can be adjusted for the specifics of your event.

We accept checks, cash or credit cards. We feel honored to work with you!

Yes of course, we can send it by email, mail it to you or give it to you in person after the show.

Please tell us who the contact person is and who will take the dancers music and direct them to the dancing area. Assigning a specific contact person to assist the dancer is a good idea. Give the dancer the contact person’s number in case that for any reason they need to reach them. When the dancers arrive the contact person can show them to where they can change and set their things and can assure they get paid. The contact person is also handy for taking the dancer’s music and making sure it gets played at the right time; which means that the music will start when the dancers are prepared in their starting position.

If this is not a surprise event, it is a good idea that the contact person talk to the DJ/MC to clear the dance floor and announce the dancers before they start the show. It is usually better if the contact person is not the guest or guests of honor at an event since they are usually very busy. Also, please make sure you are ready for your performance at the agreed time so that the dancers can adhere to their strict performance line-up.

Yes, thank you! It’s great to get feedback and we’re pleased you can now send it via an email to info@motionartscenter.com or on our Reviews page.
