Part 2 Sunday 5.00 - 6.30

Venue: Above the Forest Cafe, Bristo Place.

Genoveva Fernández and Andrés 'Tanguito' Cejas

Andrés and Genoveva represent the purest style of Argentine Tango. They have worked with orchestras such as Mariano Mores, Raul Garello and Sexteto Tango and have performed in many theatres internationally, working with dancers such as Osvaldo Zotto & Lorena Ermocida, Roberto Herrera & Vanina Bilous, Gloria & Eduardo, Los Dinzel, Nelida & Nelson. In the UK they work mainly in Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield.

Romina Godoy and Leandro Palou

In 2006, Romina and Leandro set up a Tango School in the centre of London where they regularly teach the basis of traditional Argentine Tango. They continuously travel for performing and teaching in the UK and in Europe (participating in some of the biggest Tango Festivals), where they offer people their experience and knowledge of more than ten years dancing. Classes are focused on an understanding of good technique and the aesthetics, always in a fun and relaxed environment.

Jenny Frances and Ricardo Oria

Since beginning to work together in 2002, Jenny and Ricardo have performed and taught all over the UK, in Europe and in Argentina. They have developed a reputation as one of the leading tango couples in the UK.  Jenny and  Ricardo seek the timeless elements of tango; always creative and in tune with the dance's improvised nature. They have worked extensively with masters such as los Dinzel in Buenos Aires to further develop their dance and teaching.

MALA PINTA

www.malapinta.com

Mala Pinta plays Argentine tango-four musicians with a shared passion and international backgrounds. Deeply rooted in the rich history, Mala Pinta plays tango as "urban chamber music" in concert and dance halls. At once raw and refined, eclectic and earthy, the group plays tango in an honest and personal way. Since 2003 the band has evolved into one of the most appreciated dance orchestras in Europe.
