A Puro Tango is proud to present two of Buenos Aires' most popular maestros and young milongueros, JULIO BALMACEDA and CORINA DE LA ROSA, who will be teaching in Los Angeles April 25, 26 & 27.
Julio & Corina are two of the most talented and respected of Buenos Aires' new generation of milongueros (social tango dancers). Their classes in Buenos Aires are among the most popular in that city and they are particularly renowned for their men's and women's technique classes. Julio and Corina are in tremendous demand around the world, teaching much of each year in Europe, Japan and the United States. In 1998, they joined the cast of Forever Tango on Broadway and on the U.S. national tour. Julio learned tango from his father, the late, revered milonguero Miguel Balmaceda, a legendary teacher who taught many of today's tango stars the art of social tango. Corina studied and taught classical dance at the National Institute of Dance in Argentina. They have danced together since 1996, and are especially known for combining elegance with rhythm and musicality. They bring an energy and joy to their dancing and teaching that makes their classes irresistible. Classes 1 and 3 will be appropriate for all levels of tango experience.
