We’re delighted to host Giusy Santoro and Diego Javier Ledesma, a couple of highly skilled and experienced dancers, teachers, and performers of Argentine Tango and Argentine Folklore, for a special weekend of Tango.
Giusy lives and works in Buenos Aires as a professional dancer and teacher of Tango. Her experience ranges from traditional Tango de Salon to Tango Fantasía and Escenario. She has been a recent finalist in prestigious Tango competitions including the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Championship in 2017.
Diego was born in Santiago del Estero (Argentina) and grew up in a family of Musicians of Argentine Folklore. He joined a Folk Dance academy that toured throughout the interior of Santiago del Estero and participated in different National Contests and Festivals throughout the country. After finishing his studies in Music, Diego dedicated himself to dance. He gives workshops on Music, Argentine Folklore and Latin Dance and continues to study Tango in Buenos Aires where he currently lives.
Programme:
Friday 22nd March 2019
8pm – 11.30pm Guided Practica with Giusy and Diego who will show you some different strategies for navigating a busy ronda which you can then practise during the course of the evening.

Giusy and Diego will also be on hand to offer guidance on any other aspects of your dance which you wish to receive advice about.
Saturday 23rd March 2019
6.30 – 8pm Pre Milonga Workshop: ‘Dynamics of Vals’. The workshop will focus on developing fluency in the expression of musicality of the vals, using dynamic changes of energy and direction to accentuate the characteristics of the music. The workshop will also explore how to create flexibility within the embrace particularly in turns. This workshop is suitable for dancers at improver/intermediate and advanced level.
8pm – Midnight La Milonga de Esquina Porteña with special guest performance of Tango and Argentine Folklore by Giusy Santoro and Diego Javier ledesma.
At our milonga we strive to recreate the feel of a traditional Buenos Aires milonga.

Light refreshments are freely available. Feel free to bring your own wine – glasses are available. If you wish to book a table place, please contact us in advance.
