Alejandra Armenti & Daniel Juárez TANGO WORKSHOP
August 31, 2019 @ 10:00 am - September 1, 2019 @ 6:00 pm
A la carteTHE DANCERS
Alejandra Armenti & Daniel Juárez work mostly in Buenos Aires and once a year they the world to share their experience in tango. They started as part of the Ballet Folklorico Nacional Argentino (the most prestigious folkloric national ballet of Argentina) and then they moved on to create their own dance company, Corporacion Tangos. They teach ‘tango salon’ (the tango that is danced at milongas in Buenos Aires) but they are also stage dancers and they are famous for having prepared and trained some of the most well known Argentine tango dancers, like Fabian Peralta. Not only are they dancers, choreographers, company directors, and professional dancers’ trainers, but they have been Judges at the Tango World Cup of Buenos Aires consecutively since 2008 until now. They are very popular amongst people and run a big dance company, which speaks volumes about their leadership and their quality in bringing people together and managing groups. I know them personally and they are very humble and kind, having been raised in a humble neighborhood in the outskirts of Buenos Aires very close to my house!
