Marcelo “El Chino” Gutierrez is from Argentina. He has toured South and North America, Europe, Asia teaching and performing. He is currently on a US tour.
El Chino has benefited both from being able to study with such old school masters as the Dinzels, Nito and Elba, the Rivarolas, Teresa Fernández (Todaro system) and Victor Arne; and from being part of the tango revolution that started with Gustavo Naveira and came to be known as Tango Nuevo. His teaching focuses on stability, groundedness, comfort, natural body movement, core leading and following. Just a few classes with him can drastically improve your dancing and change your entire outlook of tango.

When Michael & Eleonora met, they both realized that each one of them had a tattoo of a black panther… Perhaps this was a coincidence, but they believe that it was rather a sign of fate! Shortly after they decided to continue this exciting journey through life and dance together, forming a dance partnership based on respect for one another artistic views and desire to take Argentine Tango to a whole new level: exploring possibilities of fusing the most traditional form of this beautiful dance – tango being a social dance based on musicality & elegance with a more flexible and modern approach of a performing artist using the body as an instrument that is not limited to one particular style of movement or discipline. Come see their performance.

Special Appreciation

Thanks to Joanne for bringing the cake with Carmel frosting and to David Kalmus for bringing the bottle of Malbec wine.
Thanks to volunteers Jonathan, Warren, Julia and Betty for help.
