Tango Atlas

Argentine Tango Discovery

YouTube has thousands of Argentine tango videos, but finding new dancers you\u2019ll love is almost impossible. The recommendations are repetitive, search is keyword-dependent, and there\u2019s no way to browse by similarity or style. Tango Atlas fixes that.

The Idea

Inspired by embedding atlas visualizations, Tango Atlas maps Argentine tango videos into a navigable 2D space. Videos that are similar \u2014 by dancer, style, or energy \u2014 cluster together. Instead of relying on an algorithm to decide what you see next, you explore the space yourself and discover connections organically.
