MARIO CONSIGLIERI & ANABELLA DIAZ-HOJMAN BATON ROUGE & NEW ORLEANS
Argentine Tango Workshops Mario has recently established himself as the new rising star of the Nuevo Tango style of dance (under the tutelage of Fabian Salas, Gustavo Naveira, & Chicho Frumbolli), further developing a style of Tango which incorporates innovative steps with creative musicality, fluidity, and an increased capacity for self-expression. Since 2002 Mario has proved himself to be a dedicated and popular teacher - giving group classes, workshops and performances in the US, Canada, Australia, and Buenos Aires. In 2004, Mario became the first North American Instructor invited to teach at Congreso Internacional de Tango Argentino (CITA) held in Buenos Aires, every March. His belief that the body can be used in many ways to reflect the different moods in the music, has led him to investigate variations in the qualities of movement, then applying his knowledge to paint movements on the floor, much like an artist would on their canvas. Mario is a dynamic dancer, a charismatic performer, and a caring instructor. Anabella is an incredibly talented dancer/ instructor . Since 2004 she has partnered with Mario to teach and perform all over the US, Canada, Australia, and Buenos Aires. She has also partnered with Pablo Inza to tour Spain, Italy and Germany. Dancing since she was a little girl, Anabella has continued to study contemporary dance, martial arts, and most recently intensive studies with Chicho & Eugenia. She is one of the most beloved social dancers in Buenos Aires, and has an incredible sensitivity as a follow. Her knowledge of the dynamics of dance, and musicality, make her an especially valuable asset in a classroom setting.
