March 22 - 25, 2013 7:30 PM Intensive Seminar in Villa Urquiza-Style Tango

The Philadelphia Argentine Tango School is very proud to present an Intensive Seminar in Villa Urquiza-Style Tango taught by Carlos Perez & Rosa Forte from March 22 to 25, 2013. Arguably the most important teaching couple in the tango world, Carlos & Rosa have trained 6 of the last 7 couples to win the World Tango Championship in the Salon Category. They are sought out by professionals, aspiring professionals and amateurs alike for their unparalleled knowledge of Villa Urquiza-style tango. Villa Urquiza style holds tango's guarded secrets about how to make the dance look seamless, elegant and harmonious. By studying Villa Urquiza style in general, and by studying with Carlos & Rosa in particular, students gain the knowledge and technique necessary to imbue their dance with elegance and grace, no matter what style of tango they prefer.

Prominent students of Carlos & Rosa include: Pablo Rodríguez y Noelia Hurtado, Dante Sanchez e Ines Muzzopappa, Francisco Forquera y Natalia Hills and Fabián Peralta y Natacha Poveraj, among many, many more.

Carlos & Rosa have been dancing for over 50 years, have taught all over Europe and Asia, and are among the most highly respected teachers in their home city of Buenos Aires, but they have never before taught in the United States. We are extremely honored to have helped organize their first tour to the US and to be able to bring them to Philadelphia.
