ABOUT FACUNDO AND KELY Kely has danced Tango since the age of 7, when her parents would dance to the "Golden Age" music of the '40s. Facundo's Tango roots go back two generations-his great uncle was the author of 40 Tangos, many of them performed by the famous orchestras of Troilo, di Sarli and Salgan. He was dancing Candombe by the age of 3, and was dancing Tango, Milonga and Creole Vals (the mainstream dances of the time) at 13. Facundo and Kely first danced with each other for six years as teenagers. They were then separated for 30 years by the events of their lives, and were finally reunited in 1991. Dancing was their invisible bond during that time, and they married shortly thereafter. They now own a dance studio in Buenos Aires and are sought after worldwide as Tango dancers and teachers. Their speciality is the Milonga and Candombe, and we have taken advantage of this by having them teach only Milonga during this workshop.
