 Biography:
 Both as teachers and performers, Gustavo and Maria are rising stars in the
 world of tango salon. From the prestigious Salon Canning in Buenos Aires
 where he regularly teaches, to destinations in Europe and America, Gustavo
 is recognized for his creativity, elegance, and capacity to make almost any
 movement work in close embrace. He has studied with such greats as Marta
 Anton, Omar Vega, Dany "El Flaco" Garcia, Stella Barba, Gustavo Naveira and
 Eduardo Capussi, among others. The remarkably talented Maria relinquished
 other forms of dance for tango when she became Gustavo's student. She later
 studied with many of the tango legends, and in 2004 became Gustavo's
 teaching and performing partner. Noted for her fast and creative feet, 
Maria
 decorates her dance in a very personal way, which is both playful and
 elegant.
 With a journalism background, Gustavo has written several books, and has
 produced a documentary, "The History of Tango Dance 1940-1960. The Golden
 Age" to be shown for the first time in America in 2009.
