with performance by Ernest & Maricela
Since 2003, Ernest Williams has taught tango and
milonga seminars in Montevideo, Uruguay and
Buenos Aires, Argentina and also throughout the USA.
Some of his most notable US performances include
the musical Candombe "Tango Negro" with
choreographer Carina Losano and the famous
Candombe group Cuareim 1080 at the Gala Theatre in Washington, DC.
In the Rio de la Plata region of South America,
he was a three-time featured tango performer on
La Ciudad de Tango, a live national TV show in
Uruguay and a two-time featured candombe dancer
with the high profile candombe organization La
Gozadera in Montevideo. Ernest has also given
special exhibitions in milonga con traspie and
salsa at the famous milonga tangueria Viejo Correo in Buenos Aires.
Ernest is constantly innovating new and unique
teaching methodologies and concepts to challenge
all levels of dancers to think outside of the
box. A graduate of the Master para Maestros
program at La Escuela Argentina del Tango in
Buenos Aires, Ernests teaching style is clear
and detailed, and his profound knowledge of the
many forms of Tango make him an ideal instructor
for both the beginner and the advanced tanguero.

modern interpretive, African folkloric, and latin
dance. A protégé of Michael Angelo Mendez of the
Dance Academy of Salsa, Maricela's first love and
primary expertise has been in Salsa, Mambo and Cha Cha.
Ernest & Maricela will also be teaching Canyengue
in Palo Alto on Wednesday, July 23. See:
