Majo Martirena &
Rodrigo Fonti
Majo Martirena from Uruguay and Rodrigo Fonti from Argentina are a couple with a fascinating, unique style. Though they collaborate with other dancers, the greatest stars of the tango scene, together they create something beautiful and difficult to label. And this something brings joy and smiles during the workshops and tears of emotion during the show.
What makes them stand out is their immense creativity and ease of improvisation on stage. They play freely with different tango aesthetics. They perform beautifully in both the close milnguero embrace and in flexible off-axis moves. Their knowledge of different styles and techniques is greatly appreciated by their students during their workshops.

Lorena Tarantino &
Gianpiero Galdi
Ginapiero and Lorena are a unique Italian duo. Definitely a shining star of the new generation of the European tango. They’ve already reached the top through their hard work, technique development, and constant analyzing their methodology and movement. They are also famous for a very interesting original technique, especially accurate for analytical minds.
They are probably the youngest such a well-known pair of maestros of European origin, and they are going to be there for you during Krakus Aires Tango Festival!
