<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial>23 years ago Nina Balbuena was diagnosed with ear cancer which a part of was later removed. 10 years later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and her breasts were partially removed. Today, she is battling against bone cancer and has periodic chemotherapy treatments. Inspite of all this, nothing has stopped her passion for life and dance. <SPAN> </SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial>Nina is organizer of the milonga Viejo Correo and on the 27<SUP>th</SUP> of April, celebrating her 73<SUP>rd</SUP> birthday, she gave a special exhibition performance with the young dancer Anton Gazenbeek. They were united through their love for the style of maestro Antonio Todaro. Nina was a student and assistant of the great master for many years. Together with Anton, who is an expert in this style, they
recreated Todaro’s figures from the 1980s & 90s.</FONT></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial>Remember, Nina is 73 years old, has part of her ear removed which makes many movements difficult to execute, and especially turns. Three days before this exhibition, Nina had chemo. It is a beautiful thing how her zest for life has overshadowed her physical limitations and the effects of her treatment. </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial>We invite you to view this exhibition on Youtube, which even though it is not well filmed is well worth seeing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-BC0XyOVBI</FONT></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=arial>Nina is in Viejo Correo <FONT face=arial>(</FONT><FONT size=2><SPAN
