[Tango-A] NA-E: Master Series with Diego Di Falco & Carolina Zokalski in Pittsburgh, Dec. 4-5

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

Join us for the first in a progressive Master Series of workshops with Diego Di Falco and Carolina Zokalski.  Workshops in March and May 2011 will build upon material presented this upcoming weekend.  


Diego and Carolina have reached a prominent place in the world of Tango. At the age of 20 they joined the original cast of the show FOREVER TANGO, earning a Tony nomination for best choreography. They toured with the show in United States, Europe and Canada for over 4 years. They have since taught in more than thirty cities in the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel, and Japan.

DIEGO began to dance at the age of four. Tango Masters Antonio Todaro, Pupi Castello, Miguel Balmaceda, Pepito Avellaneda and Juan Carlos Copes nurtured his natural gifts from a very early age. With his unique creativity, sensitivity, and tremendous dedication, he has achieved world renown as a master dancer and instructor of the tango. As a young girl, CAROLINA performed in the documentary TANGO! Produced by National Geographic and joined the National Folkloric Ballet Of Argentina in 1991.

More recently, the couple has participated as principal dancers and choreographers in the show TANGO MAGIC for PBS. They also starred in the tango show TANGO DREAMS, have been featured artists at numerous events and festivals around the world. They have sold more than 7000 instructional videos between 2000 and 2004.
