As a dancer and choreographer, Milena is the most influential woman in the history of tango, having created a new aesthetic for the woman in tango. She is a stunning dancer and a generous and clear teacher. Her new partner, Ezequiel Farfaro, dances with amazing precision, creativity and subtlety. He is also a wonderful teacher. He is destined to be one of tango's great male stars. Coth Milena and Ezequiel are fluent in English. Come help us welcome them on their first visit to Santa Barbara."
