TANGO AND SUNSHINE!!!
Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlo will be coming to Tampa Bay for a weekend
of workshops from Friday February, 22nd to Sunday February 24th. This will
be a great time to dance at a couple of great milongas and take some really
wonderful classes.
Fernanda and Guillermo are one of the most dynamic and popular couples in
the world of Argentine Tango. As performers, they have danced on every
continent as featured performers in 'Forever Tango', 'Tango Magic', and in
their own production 'Tango Dreams'. They are best known for their
extremely passionate and dramatic performances that always tell a story, but
they are equally comfortable with comedy or impressionistic tributes.
They are also sought after teachers all around the world and have taught at
prestigious events such as CITA in Buenos Aires, the USTC in Miami as well
as conducting their own workshops. Their classes focus on improving peoples
dancing through technique and musicality. They will work on specific
aspects, such as dancing with your torso, boleos, sacadas, etc.
The style of dancing that they teach is not easily categorized. They prefer
to dance very close, but not strictly milonguero style and though they are
fabulous stage dancers, they are also wonderful improvisational social
dancers, and that is what they will be teaching.
