It is based on a thorough knowledge of and respect for all social tango styles: milonguero, salon and nuevo. They believe that each style offers tools that enrich expression. As instructors, they have quickly gained renown for their deep grasp on body mechanics and analytical, logical and detail-oriented teaching methodology. Students in their classes can expect a wealth of information on tango technique, encouragement to push boundaries, lots of hands-on instruction and a healthy dose of humor to complement the mix. They have a busy year-long travel schedule, teaching and performing in Brazil, Canada, France, Egypt, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland and the U.S., as well as Buenos Aires. In 2010 they also coached World Champions and Olympic Silver medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White, in their Argentine tango ice dance routine. In New York, they are co-founders of The Tango Zone Dance Company, which produces shows combining tango, film, comedy and theater.
