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!

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!
