ANA PADRON and DIEGO BLANCO bring an electrifying and passionate perspective to Tango. They were featured performers in "Tango Fever", "Sensual Tango Review", and "Tango Undressed". They placed 2nd in the US Tango Congress, took 3rd place in the World Tango Competition, and were awarded 1st place in the national competition ARTS hosted by the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. Ana and Diego recently moved from Florida to NYC where they teach in Manhattan and Long Island. They are the soloist in the off-Broadway musical Gardel.

An example of what they do is at video

The classes will focus on musicality, comfort of the embrace, and body mechanics via a sophisticated step. ANA and DIEGO believe that through practice of these three principles the dancers will enjoy tango. All lessons will be accessible to all levels of dancers, different dancers will benefit in different ways.
