Last May 12th Tamara Catz generously hosted a free tango event at her boutique in Paia (www.tamaracatz.com) and we had a lot of fun. Good dancing and lots of fun, Miriam and Leo were there and performed for us, enjoy !

May 16th - Miriam Larici and Leonardo Barrionuevo Superstars of Dance performing at The Studio Maui

“A delicious and surprising recipe - The Superstars of Tango wrapped up in a slice of their seasoned fans and stuffed into a tasty N Shore boutique. YUM.
applause applause, Fernando. Well done. May you be struck often with such inspiration “

This is how our sweet Lauraine described Tuesday night’s experience at Tamara Catz in Paia and I couldn’t find better words to describe it myself. We had a wonderful time with great dancing and Miriam and Leo’s incredible performances. Right in front of our eyes ! Ohh my … what a gift ! Thank you Tamara for opening your house to us and host such a wonderful event !

The good news is that tomorrow we do it again, but this time we make it bigger and we make it better and yes, we make it louder ! Our “Milonga Team” has been working really hard to make this an event we’ll never forget. We’ll start 8 pm at THE STUDIO MAUI in Haiku, and we go until 1 am ! We’ll provide some wine and bubbles as well as some little surprises, bring your own wine, drinks and pupus and most important, together we make it real fun !!!

Tickets are $20 at the door for 5 hours of fun and entertainment in one of Maui’s nicest venues.

The best of Tango Argentino has come to Maui once again, to shower us with the magic of this fantastic art and culture that carries over 100 years of evolution, what a privilege ! Come to celebrate together, see you there !
