Analia
Carreno and Luis Ramirez
They will be
joined by 3 tango couples Laila Rezk and
Leandro Oliver whose dedication and pleasant disposition have endeared them to
their countless students and followers all these years; masters of the stage Analia Carreno and Luis Ramirez; and Noelia Colleti
and Pablo Giorgini whose partnership dates back to when they were young lovers.
Now married with twins, they have since metamorphosed into very fine and
dedicated tango artists,. The last pair is considered the youngest partnership
in the group, but Tamara Bisceglia & Federico Paleo have displayed
immense prowess and ability, both in teaching and performing. They have managed
to show what hard-work and dedication can do to survive in this highly
competitive world of Argentine Tango.
