I am so pleased to be able to bring Daniela to Woodstock! She has been a 
major teacher and influence for me for several years.
She has recently moved to Austin, Texas, enabling this first time ever 
visit to Woodstock, the first of what I hope will be many!

Daniela is a master teacher & performer. She uses her body to connect 
and communicate with her partner in a pure porteña way.
Her dance is sensuous, dazzling, and technically superb. She is a GREAT

DANIELA'S BIO:
Master Teacher, Choreographer, Performer

A tango teacher, performer and choreographer, Daniela Arcuri grew up in 
the heart of Buenos Aires, where she absorbed the English, French,
Spanish and mostly Italian influences that define the cosmopolitan 
"porteño" culture of this port city. At age thirteen, Daniela began
training in ballet, modern dance, music, acting, jazz, argentinian folk 
dancing, and gymnastics and began teaching, choreographing, and
performing tango for modern dance at the age of fifteen. She is a 
graduate of the prestigious Escuela National de Danzas and Instituto
Nacional de Gimnasia in Buenos Aires and former competitive athlete on 
the Argentinian National Rythmic Gymnastics team.

She began her professional tango career in her early twenties in a 
production in Toronto, Canada with legendary tango dancers Juan Carlos
Copes, Maria Nieves, and Pepito Avellaneda. At the age of twenty-four 
she began to teach and choreograph tango in Eduardo Arquimbau's tango 
academy in Buenos Aires. Her style developed as a result of her training 
in ballet/contemporary dance, and the influence and instruction from some
of the great "milongueros" (the tango masters) of Club Almagro and Villa 
Urquiza of Buenos Aires, such as Gerardo Portalea, Petaca, and Juan 
Bruno. She received her tango instruction in the late 80's from the best 
tango masters of that time in Buenos Aires such as Rodolfo Dinzel, 
Eduardo Arquimbau, Antonio Todaro, and Pepito Avellaneda and spent many 
years dancing and observing in the milongas of Buenos Aires.

Daniela won acclaim with her then-partner Armando Orzuza, acknowledged 
as one of the top professional tango couples in the world, appearing on 
the Solo Tango TV channel in Buenos Aires for several years, owning 
their own tango school in Buenos Aires, and teaching and performing in 
more than 200 cities in Europe and the U.S., including prestigious 
festivals in Boston, New York, and Miami.

They helped and supported the opening of new tango schools in the USA 
and Europe and their performances caught the eye of relevant critics of 
the mostimportant newspapers of New York City. They have performed along 
with important artists such as Julio Iglesias, Madonna, Libertad 
Lamarque, Maria Grana, Alba Solis, Beba Vidart, Juan Carlos Copes and 
Maria Nieves, Pepito Avellaneda, Fernando Soler, Sexteto Mayor Orchestra,
Sexteto Tango Orchestra, La Orquesta de Ernesto Franco, The Symphonic 
Orchestra from the Hollywood Bowl among others.

Daniela has choreographed and performed in many tango productions 
including Tango Pasion. Her latest choreography and performing project, 
called Sebastian Tango, was presented at the Complejo Cultural Borges in 
Buenos Aires in April, May, and June of 2008.
Daniela is now teaching around the U.S. and residing in Austin, TX.
