** About Monica & Gustavo:

------------------------------------------------------------

They are as passionate about teaching and social dancing as
they are about performing. Monica & Gustavo are known for their
spirited, rhythmic and elegant dancing. Full of emotions from
their feet to their faces, they express drama and playfulness
connecting with each other and the audience.

Gustavo has recently performed at the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
Gala, at "Om Shanti - Once Upon a Time in Bollywood" at the Long
Center or at last year's Austin Ballroom Festival. Monica past
performances include dancing at "Evita" with Zach Theatre and
producing shows for the Aztlan Dance Co among other places. In
2006 with much support from Austin and surrounding communitiess
they created Esquina Tango (http://esquinatangoaustin.com), a
non-profit organization striving to build a vibrant and diverse
community through dance, culture and language. Esquina Tango
is now one of the most active cultural hubs of Austin. Monica &
Gustavo currently teach over six group tango classes weekly along
with private lessons; they organize two to three weekly milongas
as well as many other cultural events.
