Mariela Franganillo is widely regarded as one of the best tango dancers and teachers of her generation, in addition to being a great choreographer and producer. Born and raised in Argentina, she learned to dance tango in the milongas in Buenos Aires before studying with Gustavo Naveira and dancing with his Tango Troupe in 1990. Early highlights of her career include dancing in Los Tangueros at Teatro Cervantes and at Casa Blanca in Buenos Aires. After moving to the U. S., she performed at the Smithsonian Institute and performed & taught at Stanford University before moving to New York City where she currently resides. Mariela has performed in productions at Lincoln Center, Town Hall and Carnegie Hall, with companies such as NY Tango, Piazzolla & Beyond, Avantango, X-Tango and Eternal Tango. She is proudest of her most recent producing venture, SWANGO, which mixes the unique styles of Argentine Tango & West Coast Swing. Mariela conceived and choreographed the show, together with Robert Royston and was joined by Tony Award Winner Rupert Holmes on the book. She was part of the Broadway cast of Forever Tango, performed with Julio Iglesias stage show and at the Paquito D'Rivera Tribute at Carnegie Hall and teaches at Dance Manhattan. A uniquely gifted teacher who has given workshops across the United States, Canada and Japan, Mariela brings a fresh enthusiasm for tango that is melded with polished skills, years of experience and a legacy that stretches back to the golden-era of tango. www.WoodstockTango.com.
