Madalyn & Nelson
Nelson Avila is the legendary Master of Argentine Tango. He
starred three times on Broadway:
Tango Argentino – 1985 and 2000
Forever Tango – 2004
He has produced, choreographed and starred in his own
world class shows. Nelson is renowned for his artistic
contributions to the tango. Nelson has the artistic
integrity, rhythmic precision, strength, carriage,
elegance, musicality and originality to that put him at
the pinnacle of his profession. Wherever he goes in the
world of tango today, Nelson Avila is revered by amateurs
and professional dancers alike as a true legend in his
own time.
Madalyn Avila is a passionate ballroom dancer, performer,
teacher and a lifelong student of Argentine Tango. She
fell in love with the beauty, elegance and creativity
of this wonderful dance when Tango Argentino came to New
York in 1985. She believes that while Argentine Tango is
a wonderful performing art it is a most highly evolved
social dance to learn and love.
Madalyn and Nelson live in New York where they have a
wonderful following of both amateur and professional
students. Many have enjoyed their classes and
performances at some of the best milongas in the greater
New York area, as well as in Toronto, Montreal and
Argentina. Nelson was the honorary Judge at the NY Tango
Festival Competitions and at the 2018 International Tango
Competition in Montreal in summer 2018. They organize
special tango events for museums, charities, schools
and private parties. They are available to travel for
performances, workshops and tango seminars.
Together they love to share their passion for all that
is Tango. Nelson is the maestro and the authentic soul of
this art form, Madalyn is a passionate dancer, performer
and teacher. Together they bring a wonderful combination
of passion, soul and knowledge. For more information
