Laura Pellegrino arrived in Baltimore 4 years ago and quickly
become one of the most visible faces on the Baltimore and
D.C. Argentine Tango scenes. She spent 2 years studying with
many of Washington DC's most esteemed teachers, (Pablo Fontana,
Anne-Sophie Ville, Murat Erdemsel and Sharna Fabiano) as well
as with all of the world's foremost teachers of Argentine Tango
that passed through the nation's capital. Among them were Fabian
Salas and Carolina del Rivera, Mauricio Castro, Mario Consiglieri,
Metin, Pablo Veron, Jean-Sebastin Rampazzi, and Ceceila Gonzales.

Laura has performed at Artscape (the largest annual arts festival
in the state of Maryland), The Baltimore Museum of Art, (With
Pablo Fontana) and the Hippodrome Theater (With Murat Erdemsel)
for the opening of Evita.  Additionally she has taught on behalf
of Baltimore Tango, the YMCA afterschool program,and the Hippodrome
Foundation.

For the last 2 years Laura has been residing in Buenos Aires,
Argentina where she devoted  herself to the dance on a full-time
basis.

Among those with whom she was fortunate enough to study while
living in Buenos Aires are Hugo Daniel, Luciana Vallee, Kara
and Matias,  Sebastian Arce and Mariana Montes, Carla Marano,
Gustavo Naveira, Mariano "Chicho" Frumboli and Eugenia Parilla
all of whom have helped Laura develop a style that is equally
versed in close as well as open embrace.

A belief that technical proficiency is the foundation upon
which improvisation and musicality can most easily flourish has
guided her own dance and she relays that to her students with
avid enthusiasm.

Laura, a former Austinite and professional musician has just
returned to the U.S, and most importantlyTexas, where she will
be living and teaching Tango full-time. She is available for
private lessons and will be scheduling workshops in Austin and
Houston shortly.
