Hi everyone, Nito & Elba Garcia will be completing an extensive tour throughout the US this summer. While most of the tour itinerary is already set, they have 1-2 weeks still free which they are hoping to fill with work. I am looking for experienced organizers who might be interested in bringing Nito & Elba to their city in July or August.
If you might be interested, please email me at meredithkl...@gmail.com and I will send you complete information about their availability and terms. Please note that that is a different email address from the one I am sending from right now. I am including Nito & Elba's bio below, though most of you will probably already know them. Thanks so much! Meredith Director, Philadelphia Argentine Tango School --------------------------------------------------------- Nito Garcia learned tango the old-fashioned way, watching his uncle and aunt dance on a packed-earth patio in the province of Buenos Aires more than half a century ago. As a young man, he polished his skills in the dance halls of Buenos Aires in the 1950s, was a principal dancer with the orchestra of Osvaldo Pugliese, and later moved to Mar Del Plata, on the coast of Argentina, where he continued to perform and teach. Nito & Elba met in 1973 and both married and began dancing together not long afterwards. Over the past 40 years, they have become one of the most highly respected and beloved tango couples worldwide, starring in events throughout Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Elegant and graceful, Nito & Elba continue to perform at the Esquina Carlos Gardel, one of the most highly famed tango shows in Buenos Aires, when they are not traveling. Nito and Elba won the prestigious Lobo del Mar award in 1996 for their outstanding contribution to the arts and were presented with the "Person of the City" award in Mar del Plata, Argentina for 1997. Nito & Elba have been invited to teach at the CITA Festival in Buenos Aires every year and are highly in demand as private coaches for professional couples in Buenos Aires.
