Argentine Tango Workshop October 8, 9, 10 in Pittsburgh, PA
with Daniela y Armando of Buenos Aires
The Pittsburgh Tangueros welcome Daniela Arcuri and Armando Orzuza for a
high-impact weekend of tango classes and a Saturday night milonga, with special
guest DJ Manuk Colakyan.
Daniela and Armando combine the originality of the “Golden Era” with the
powerful styles of the modern tango of today. They focus on the elements of
technique basic to the tango, and move between close and open embrace to create
a flowing, dynamic dance. They have a long list of distinguished professional
credits and awards recognizing their talent, choreography, and performances.
