On Jun 16 2010, LIBERTAD is proud to welcome El Nene y Roxana as guest teachers and performers. Don't miss this chance to study Close Embrace Tango – the way it is danced in Buenos Aires. Eduardo "El Nene" Masci was born in Buenos Aires in the neighborhood of Boedo, the seventh son (hence "el Nene") of a family of excellent dancers. He started to dance tango at the age of 11, and from then on, he stood out in the most emblematic halls of tango dancing of Buenos Aires . His particular way of feeling the music and his love for tango have made him one of the leading dancers of the tango scene. Roxana L ' Arco, was born in Buenos Aires and spent most of her life in the United States. With her artistic training and being a tango dancer by excellence, her very presence, musicality and interpretation, adds the element that completes this renowned creative partnership. Together, Eduardo “El Nene” and Roxana have communicated the purity and the feeling of our tango moving audiences in Argentina and inspiring tango dancing in the major cities of Europe and America. In June 2006, ‘El Nene” Masci, along with the famed Puppy Castello and "El Flaco" Dany Garcia, participated in one of the most important Tango shows, "Danza Maligna", a co-production and collaboration between the Government of the city of Buenos Aires and France. This successful project took him to Paris, Perpignan, Montpellier and other European cities, as well as numerous cultural events where he was acclaimed for his particular milonguero style. This couple has given exhibitions and workshops in Germany, Netherlands and Spain, spreading his love for tango and teaching the interpretation of the national dance form. Together, Eduardo “El Nene” Masci and Roxana L ' Arco form one of the most beloved couples of the local art scene. About them it has been heard that they “are”tango.
