About our guest artists:
Dancer, teacher and choreographer Hugo Matrolorenzo has taught and performed in the Far East, North America and Europe. In Buenos Aires, Hugo danced in the most prestigious theatrrs and won prizes as dancer and choreography in national competitions. He won 3 American championships and placed in the top five of the world championships in the last two years.
Hugo's solid and versatile training have allowed him to take a creative leadership role, and he has developed a teaching method and a choreographic annotation system based on his research into the history and technique of the dance.
His first book "In Search of the Method that Never Was" (a controversial essay on the contradictions in teaching methods) was hailed by the media as one of the most incisive contributions to the genre. It has been translated in English and Japanese. His second book "Tango Dance, the Origin of the Species" (about the origins of tango) is best described as an "ambitious work of research and reflection which achieves a much more credible genealogy than other authors have done before".
Hugo's choreographies, which combine elements with imagination and a sense of the dramatic, have also captured high praise in the press, which cites him as a choreographer with a deep understanding of the tango, in which the coherence of the fusion is unexpectedly brilliant.
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”.
Angeles also performed on stage with the renowned singer Julio Iglesias, she has been featured on national TV (channel 11, channel 13), in international films, commercials, and fashion magazines, all related to tango.
From 1998 she was involved in every “Buenos Aires International Tango Festival”, the world’s largest annual event which attracts the best Tango dancers. She has also performed in multiple shows in Latin and South America (including the most prestigious show in Argentina “Senor Tango”) as well as toured around United States. Among other tango orchestras, Angeles has danced for “Los Cosos de al Lao” at the famous “Cafe Tortoni” in the city of Buenos Aires.
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.
As a one a kind dancer, Angeles expresses sensuality and elegance, as well as represents woman’s character in Tango.
