More about Angeles and Michael

Passionate and versatile, professional show dancers and visionary choreographers Angeles and Michael are best known for their spectacular and breathtaking performances of the “Argentine Tango” – the authentic form of Tango that developed in Buenos Aires in the late 19th century and transformed into stage art.
Internationally recognized dancers, they regularly appear in music and dance festivals in US and abroad, corporate entertainment events and major concert halls and theatres, in addition to making numerous television, film and TV commercials appearances as principal dancers.
They portray a unique unforgettable style. Sensuality merged with power brings the look of a real show.
Using their creativity and extensive experience gathered through other forms of dance training (Ballet, Modern, Tango, Ballroom, Salsa, Folklore) they expand the boundaries of traditional dance

Angeles Chanaha was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She started dancing at the age of 5 and throughout her career she has studied a variety of dance styles (Argentine Tango, Folklore, Rock’n’Roll, Ballet, Modern).
Growing up in the heart of real Tango world, she has practiced one particular style - Argentine Tango - to it’s perfection. As a result she has performed with two of the most famous Tango dancers in the world: Miguel Angel Zotto - creator of  “Tango X Dos”- and Carlos Gavito -Tony Award Winner from a Broadway hit “Forever Tango”.

In 2003 Angeles created and choreographed the tango show “Tango en los Andes” for “Che Tango Company”, which had a huge success in Mendoza, Argentina.
