Giorgio e Monica
have been dancing and teaching together since 1996; since then they have become a reference and one of the most important Argentinian tango school in Turin, the main Italian city for tango.
Since 1997 they have been collaborating with the Turin city council, organizing tango events for the “Sere d’Estate” festival.
Since November 1997 they have been dancing periodically at Caffè Procope in those evenings dedicated to Argentinian tango.
They have danced at the Principi di Piemonte Hotel during the celebrations for Carlos Gardel. They have also danced at the first night of the Carlos Saura movie “Tango” and at “Hiroshima Mon Amour” during the tango Sunday nights.
They have performed with several musical groups in Milan, Reggio Emilia and also in Turin during the Latin American Festival.

From 2000 to 2002 they gave their most important performances during the following shows:
1. “…..che in America voglio andar”, in Turin, at Arca;
2. “El sabor del tango” , in Turin, at Arca;
3. “El sabor del tango”, in Turin, at B.I.T.;
4. “Ti voglio tanto tango”, in Spotorno, during the exhibition “Imaginary Ethnic Group”;
5. “Ti voglio tanto tango”, in Sanremo, during the exhibition “People around the fire”;

7. “Apriti Tango”, in Turin at the Piccolo Teatro Regio.
8. “Imagines y Palabras”, in Turin, at the Teatro Carignano;
9. “Barium”, directed by Koji Miyazaki and Vincenzo Gamma, in Turin at the Teatro Regio;

In 2002 they were recognized as one of the most important school of tango in Piedmont. The Teatro Regio and the city council asked them to organize an important tango event which inclueded lessons, performances and shows, called “Tur in Tango”. The event lasted three evenings and was set in piazza Carignano, at the Teatro Regio and in many milongas in Turin.
The same event was repeated the following year with the same three evenings which opened the so called “green points” of the Teatro Regio, with their final show “Buenos Aires racconta”, choreographed by the famous Argentinian dancers Esteban Moreno and Claudia Codega, who took part themselves to the show. The two editions of “Tur in Tango” attracted more than 6.000 spectators.
In the summer of 2004 they were chosen to illustrate with many photographs the book “Tangologia 2” in the section dedicated to the main tango steps. The first edition of the book had had the following reviews:
“History, poetry, music of tango and the way of living it in Argentina ….. It offers the rich vocabulary of steps and figures, helping the readers to resolve and work out the jungle of signs that the dancers’ bodies draw on the floor” (N. Orengo, “Tuttolibri” – LA STAMPA)
“A work of inestimable value for its cultural details and resources, the structure of its steps, its style and interpretation” (S. Amboni, in the magazine “La Danza”).
In 2005 they created their first DVD in which they showed all the steps of their first year course. The DVD is published by Sigillo publishing.
