Gloria and Eduardo Arquimbau have been dancing Tango for 50 years! They began working together as youngsters with Francisco Canaro's orchestra in the 1950s, and they have risen to become one of the most popular tango dancing couples in the world. Their style is that of the authentic milongueros. They have performed in Central America, Europe, Japan and the United States, thrilling audiences in venues ranging from "The Ed Sullivan Show" to the Congress Center of the Kremlin in Moscow. They performed with the critically acclaimed musical Tango Argentino from 1985 to 1992, and with the 1990 Forever Tango tour throughout the United States and Canada. With their Japan tours with their shows Tango, Tango and Corazon de Tango, they paved the way for many shows that followed. They were choreographers and headliners of the original cast of Forever Tango in San Francisco from 1994 to 1995. In Argentina, they are often seen on television as a duo or accompanied by their own troupe. Gloria and Eduardo believe that to teach what they have learned, is to really foster their culture. Their exclusive teaching videos have been used by Dance Schools and Tango Academies all over the world. They are also one of the few remaining experts on the historical forms of Tango (Tango Milonga, Tango Canyengue and Tango Orillero), and their performances are breathtaking!
