Maestro Marcelo Gutierrez teaches intermediate + beginners by Sarah Yasmine + Vinyl DJ Recep Özgün!

Every Thursday for over twenty eight years, Tango La Nacional hosts an intimate community of dancers from every corner of the world. We are LGBTQ+ friendly with an emphasis on inclusivity and harnessing the power of embracing a stranger. We are located in the heart of Meatpacking District above the legendary La Nacional Spanish tapas bar & restaurant. This Thursday: Maestro Marcelo Gutierrez is back to NYC! Marcelo's style is a masterful bridge between generations. He studied with tango royalty: the Dinzels, Nito & Elba, the Rivarolas, Teresa Fernández, and Victor Arne, absorbing their wisdom like a sponge. Yet, he also embraced the analytical, innovative spirit of Tango Nuevo, especially the work of Gustavo Naveira. From the Dinzels, he drew theatricality and a pedagogical approach that embraces creativity. Nito & Elba infused his dancing with musicality, elegance, and classic social floorcraft. The Rivarolas helped shape his understanding of structure and improvisational dialogue. Teresa Fernández, steeped in the Todaro method, influenced his precision and boldness. Victor Arne’s unique presence and elegance offered a model of command and charisma. And from Gustavo Naveira, Marcelo absorbed the language of Tango Nuevo - its deconstruction of movement, its analytical clarity, and its drive to innovate.
