A Puro Tango presents the dazzling Leandro Palou and Andrea Misse in Los Angeles, May 3-8. Leandro and Andrea are two of the most sought-after teachers of Argentine Tango in the world. They are renowned for their slow, deliberate and very clear method of teaching, which focuses on the quality of the movements and very detailed explanations of technique. Though not yet 30, they both began dancing tango at a very young age-Leandro at 14 and Andrea at 11. Before that, Leandro studied acting for five years and Andrea studied Argentine folklore dances, appearing in many performances and television specials in Buenos Aires. Andrea began her tango studies with Carlos Rivarola, one of the stars of "Tango Argentino." She studied for several years with Miguel Angel Zotto (Tango X 2) and later with Osvaldo Zotto and Antonio Todaro, considered by many to be the greatest teacher of tango choreography of all time. Leandro also studied with Miguel Zotto and with numerous Milongueros (older Tango Dancers) from whom he learned both the fundamentals and the spirit of traditional Tango. Leandro and Andrea's partnership began in 1995. In 1991 they created the show "Tango Danza," which has earned rave reviews in the U.S. and Europe. Every year their performance and teaching engagements take them all over the world to places such as London, Paris, Vienna, Stockholm, New York, San Francisco and Chicago to name a few, and of course Buenos Aires. They are also dazzling performers, so don't miss their exhibition on Friday, May 4 at Salon Recuerdo. Space is limited, so we strongly recommend pre-registration.
