ABOUT MIRIAM LARICI & HUGO PATYN Miriam Larici was on the original Forever Tango cast and remained on that cast for 10 years, longer than any other member. She has been dancing since the age of 5, and has performed with many Tango companies in Japan, has had roles on Broadway, and even in the movie The Mambo Kings. But of course, it is her long-standing engagement in Forever Tango that recognizes her greatness in Tango (it is in fact Miriam's photograph that is used in the Forever Tango logo). Despite this renown, she is known as a down-to-earth and very giving teacher (women will find her attention to the women's part and technique especially rewarding). Hugo Patyn appeared in Carlos Saura's film Tango! and was one of the most recent members of the Forever Tango cast. He was choreographer and director of the show Tal Come is ... Tango presented in Buenos Aires for the last 2 years. He has danced with several leading Tango orchestras of Buenos Aires and in several Tango shows (Michelangelo, Tango Mundo) and theatres, including the prestigious Colon Theatre of Buenos Aires. In addition to being performers, they are also quintessential social dancers and will focus on social dancing in their teaching, with the added flair that comes from their performance background.
