CECILIA
ACOSTA

DJ Samuel Mann at Milonga Corizoncito

Cecilia is one of my favourite humans, the kind of person whose smile lights up a room before the music even starts.

We’ve shared miles of travel, sleepy tandas, and the best kind of chaotic dance nights where tango turns into salsa, cumbia, and whatever else the party demands. She’s fun, loving, and deeply caring, and she brings that energy everywhere she goes.

Cecilia Acosta is an Argentine tango dancer, teacher, and TDJ from Tucumán, Argentina, now based in Tbilisi, Georgia. She carries tango the way it was meant to be carried: grounded, musical, full of feeling, and always human. Her dance has that rare balance of softness and certainty, a calm embrace with a sharp ear, where the smallest pause can say more than a thousand steps.

Before Georgia, her tango story was already rich. In Argentina she built her name through teaching, performance, and competition, including strong results in both Tango Salón and Milonga. She also brings Argentine folklore into her work, adding depth and cultural roots that make her classes feel connected to something older than the room you are standing in.

In 2017, tango took her on a journey that changed everything. In Buenos Aires she met Levan Gomelauri, now her husband and partner in tango life. Together they have grown into an internationally active duo, teaching and performing while sharing the story of how tango can grow far from its birthplace and still feel completely alive.

Today Cecilia’s home base is Tbilisi Tango, the school and community hub she runs with Levan and Beka Gomelauri. Their work is not just classes and workshops, it is a living calendar of social tango that keeps the city moving. The same trio also organises the Tbilisi Tango Marathon each January, a gathering that fills Tbilisi with long nights, beautiful music, and that familiar feeling that the best moments happen between the notes.
