Fernanda Ghi & Guillermo Merlo Teach Tango
For Fernanda & Guillermo, tango is one of the most nuanced and artistic forms of expression. It is a language that reflects the diverse influences of the many cultures that helped define it. They, therefore, believe that tango belongs to the world and that everyone, no matter where they come from, can understand it and embrace it. Tango is about the land, nostalgia and communication. It is about two people moving as one to express that which is tragic, sensual and sometimes mischievous. Tango requires us to give the best part of ourselves to one another. The true essence of tango (the embrace of a couple that creates two opposing energies that move in the same direction) is what interests Fernanda & Guillermo the most. This is what they seek to share as they teach and perform. For more than a decade they have traveled the world as performers, teachers, choreographers and producers. They have worked in operas, ballets, comedies, dramas and films. They believe that they are not here only to dance tango steps, but also to use this complex dance to evolve as artists and communicators. They want to share this powerful expression of poetry, dance and music and to let the world know that THIS IS TANGO NOW! This is the philosophy behind their set of DVDs and their way of teaching Tango!
