DANIEL JUAREZ & ALEJANDRA ARMENTI
Alejandra Armenti and Daniel Juárez began their professional careers in the Argentinian National Folklore Ballet over 30 years ago, and have been dancing together since. As directors and choreographers of the prestigious dance company Corporación Tango, they were chosen to perform at the Tango Buenos Aires Dance World Cup Finals, where they won Best Group Choreography in 2007. The following year, the couple was selected to choreograph the closing night at the same competition, performing live with the Osvaldo Berlingieri Orchestra. Since 2004, they have continued to serve as Masters and Judges of the Argentine Tango Dance World Cup/Mundial de tango de Buenos Aires.
In recent years, Alejandra and Daniel created the First International Teaching Study for Professional Dancers and Teachers. Through this program, they strive to educate future generations of tango dancers and teachers, to carry on the traditions and passions of Argentine Tango for years to come. The couple was recognized for this work by the International Dance Council of UNESCO.
