The
current 2013 winners, Maximiliano
Cristiani and Jesica Afernoni, will be
in Manila for their first performance in Asia, and are the star attractions in
the Gala Night of this year’s local
festival, together with 8 other Argentine tango maestros/maestras known the
world over for their superb dance performances, as well as teaching skills. They

aficionados.

This year's line-up is a journey through
the different genres - from the elegant Tango Salon improvised on the crowded
milongas of Buenos Aires and fashionable European ballrooms; and the more
popularized Tango Escenario, designed for the stage or theatre; to
choreographed interpretations and narratives that have pushed the boundaries of
Tango to the realms of contemporary dance but forever remaining true to the
integrity and roots of Tango.

surely heighten the passion among our Tango enthusiasts both locally and internationally.
