Hi everyone, I'm writing to let you know about two wonderful dancers from Buenos Aires, Alejandro Larenas & Marisol Morales, who are in residence at the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School from now through the end of March. Alejandro & Marisol's dancing ranges from pure tradition to mind-blowing innovation. Rich in musicality and impeccable technique, their performances are riveting, and their teaching is skillful and precise. Alejandro & Marisol have completed more than 15 tours worldwide to teach seminars and perform in tango shows and festivals, but have never before done an extended residency/tour in the US. You can learn much more about Alejandro & Marisol, including bios, videos, photos, and more, at this link: http://philadelphiatangoschool.com/ale-marisol.html
