A little about them:
Ana & Diego are YouTube Tango superstars. Their YouTube videos are probably among the most watched "how-to tango tips" videos on YouTube.
Ana Padron born in Miami to a family of Cuban decedents, has been studying ballet from the age of 4. A daughter of a musician, she has embraced musicality as part of her training since the earliest years.
Upon graduating from New World School of the Arts in 2004, she has been a company member of Martha Graham Dance Ensemble’s junior division.
Diego Blanco, born in Colombia, came to the U.S. as a nine-year-old who quickly embraced dance because of his father’s passion for tango. For him, dance was not only a way of expression but a means of integration into the new culture as well. Trained in the
traditional Argentinian approach, he has been performing the tango at milongas and arts centres since a young age. In 2001, Diego received from the National Foundation for Advancement in the Art first place in choreography from their ARTS (Arts Recognition
and Talent Search) program.
As stage performers, choreographers and teachers, Ana and Diego have performed in many festivals in the U.S. and abroad, including appearances in off-Broadway and Broadway productions in NYC. They have toured and taught at tango festivals throughout Europe,
Asia, and the Americas. They have performed at Jacob’s Pillow and have also danced in Mariela Franganillo’s ensemble piece “Recuerdo Tango” at New York’s Pace University in 2013. They also appeared recently with the Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet, Hector Del
Curto Tango Quartet, Williamsport Sympathy Orquestra, at the DUMBO Dance Festival in the John Ryan Theater and presented an original production of BLIND: Strength in Vulnerability, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in January 2017.
