“Creator of an evolutionary pedagogy, Ernesto Carmona’s method is based on a deep conviction: the creativity of individuals and the quality of their interpretation are what renew tango. That is why his teaching enables the couple to establish an uninterrupted dialogue of spontaneous and fluid movements.”
– Danielle Sturk and Joseph Bain, former dancers of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and Directors of the Graffiti Tango Dance Company and the Les Ateliers Argentine Tango School of Montreal – Canada – March 1993

​

“Last October, as part of a European tour, a tango teacher passed through Barcelona: the Argentine Ernesto Carmona… and we had the good fortune to meet him.
I say fortune because Ernesto has a very special way of bringing tango to us. Never has anyone taught so much essence in so little time: one weekend.”
– Interview in Tango No. 5, Bulletin of the Friends of Tango Association “Patio de Tango” – Barcelona – Spain – June 1994

​

“I came to Buenos Aires hoping to find the essence of tango in the place where it was born. But after attending classes with various teachers and seeing many performances, I was disappointed because everything I saw felt artificial and schematic… Until I found the school ‘Bohemia, Rincón de Arte’ and understood that there was a way to teach that essence I had been seeking, with a logic behind the pedagogy. Later I saw the performance by the school’s teachers, directed by Norma Gómez Tomasi and Ernesto Carmona, for Tango Day and I was moved to tears… It was coherent with what was taught and was exactly what I came to Buenos Aires to find. It reconciled me with tango.”
– Rebeca Naldi – Swiss Professional Photographer – Buenos Aires – Argentina – December 1996

“I want to thank Norma and Ernesto, on behalf of everyone present, for everything they teach us about tango, about posture, about history. But also because Norma always pushes us a bit more toward freedom, and Ernesto conveys respect and teaches us to practice it. I also want to thank the other teachers of the School, trained by Norma and Ernesto, who are faithful followers and give their skills and warmth every day: thank you to Nora, Joe, Marcelo, Silvina, Osmar, Amaray.”
– Speech by Architect Pablo Di Giorgio on the inauguration day of the Callao Street headquarters – 8/24/1996

​“Ernesto and Norma have interesting insights about tango… The Carmonas can open your eyes to aspects of Argentine culture and tango that may remain hidden for years to non-Argentines. If tango represents a new vocabulary of expression, then an expert tango dancer knows many words, while a true tango dancer knows how to say great things and how to hear great things said by their partner. Julie Taylor, Professor of Anthropology at Rice University, discusses these themes more deeply in her book Paper Tangos (1998), dedicated to the Carmona school… If you like to play while dancing seriously, you’ll love the Carmonas.”
– A. Lester Buck – President of the Houston Argentine Tango Association – Houston – USA – 1/27/2000
