CARLOS & TOVA MORENO

Tova and Carlos merge the grace of tango's past and the innovations of its present with the connection and musicality that has always defined the tango. As they flow between open and close embrace, their style showcases extremes found in traditional and modern tango music. They mix deep, powerful elements with small playful movements; brow-furrows and secret smiles. For them, the dance is nothing if it doesn't reflect the varied texture of a good tango song.

The Morenos started dancing tango together in late 1997 in Seattle, WA, a hotbed of tango learning and experimentation. They became professional tango instructors in Baltimore, where they established a tango community that continues to grow and thrive.

They understand the dance in many ways and are able to successfully teach many kinds of learners. Students express gratitude for T & C's fresh, funny, clear and well-structured teaching.
