What an absolute thrill to have a private lesson with MIRIAM LARICI & LEONARDO BARRIONUEVO!

 

Miriam was in the original cast of Forever Tango. 

Miriam & Leo are perhaps today best known as the tango choreographers for So You Think You Can Dance.

 

Now we can't wait to practice what they taught us!

After a spectacular concert by the Stowe Tango Music Festival Orchestra and dancers Miriam Larici & Leonardo Barrionuevo and Ana Padron & Diego Blanco, there was a milonga on stage at the Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center. 

After class, a small celebration for Augie's birthday, and a selfie:  Deborah, Mike, Augie, me

Augie, Alex, Deborah

I love Amelie's French Bakery in Charlotte, as much for the imaginative, zany decor as for the excellent food!

Loaded to the max:  60 pairs of tango shoes, three tables, lights & display materials, and three adults with luggage. And wine for arrival!

What an unexpected thrill to meet

MARCELA DURAN, one of the most famous, iconic

dancers in

Forever Tango!
