Established by
professional dancers
Simona Zaino and Hernan Catvin in 2004,
Compadrito
Tango was born in Ireland with the intent of offering people
the opportunity to learn and
dance Argentine Tango
through a variety of event such as
classes, milongas, workshops, festivals and more. We collaborate
with a group of international artists -all sharing the same passion for Tango-
to bring you the best of Tango dance and music.
While
offering you the authentic Argentine Tango experience, we intend to dispel
the belief that Tango’s sensual
and
elegant movements can only be achieved by professional dancers.
But above all, we
intend
to bring
Tango off the
stage and make it once again what it was in its origins: a
social dance for all,
in the real
Buenos Aires spirit!
Classes
Hernan and Simona currently
teach in Ireland, Italy and
New Zealand,
the US.
Performances
Since they started
Compadrito
Tango
in 2004, Simona and Hernan have performed at numerous dance and
music
events around Ireland such as Dublin
Fringe Festival, Oxegen
International Music Festival, with Camille O’Sullivan at
the Olympia Theatre, with Fionnula Hunt at the
Solstice Arts Centre and the National Concert Hall, at the Ballina
Arts Festival,
the Rathmines Arts Festival.
.They have
also appeared as
dancers and choreographers in the short film "Tango in D minor"
by Maurizio Usai.
