[Tango-L] Sergio Natario and Alejandra

[Lois Donnay]

Fine dancers, indeed. I've taken some of their classes, though, and I can't
recommend them unconditionally. Sergio passes my criteria of a great dancer
and teacher because he dances with people other than his partner, not only
in class but at milongas. Alejandra is a fine dancer, but embellishes so
much that it is distracting and out of place at a class. Many of the people
in the class came away more confused than edified, even though the move they
taught was fairly simple.

I don't mean to nit-pick, but actually it is Sergio Natario and Alejandra 
Arrue.  I did find some info at this webiste  
http://www.argentinatango.com/teacher_serigoalejandra.html    They are quite

unique in their style, and very nice people as well.  During performances, 
they have become quite well known for a little play acting gimick where she 
gets mad at him, ways her finger, then gives hime a slap.  This video is 
obviously from a performance but I think their pure social dancing is much 
more impressive.  They are really wonderful close embrace dancers.  By the 
way, believe it or not, as wonderful and trim as she looks, she has SIX 
children.  I have also heard that they will be coming to the USA for a tour 
later this year but have not heard what cities they will be visiting.  If 
you get a chance, they are definitely worth learning from.

Wishing you many great Tangos!!!
