were both born in Buenos Aires, where they lived for more than 30 years until moving to the United States. Although they didn't begin dancing tango until later, they were avid social dancers throughout her life.
They began dancing tango seriously in 1995. Since then they have made tango a central passion of their lives, returning to Buenos Aires to study with the masters, attending tango events in other places, dancing in milongas around the world, organizing a local "milongas", performing, and teaching.
Some of the many masters that they have studied are: Gustavo Naveira and Fabian Salas from The Tango Lesson, Lorena Ermocida and Osvaldo Zotto from TangoX2, Daniela and Armando Arcuri from Tango Passion, Claudio Villagra from Forever Tango, Leandro Palou and Andrea Misse, Nestor and Patricia Ray and Carina Losano and Pablo Fontana.
Although inspired by many if their figures, Viviana and Isidoro’s style is distinct from these dancers. Their flamboyant style is tinged by a certain wicked humor that perfectly expresses her positive zest for life. It manifests itself in impeccable timing, craft, and wit.
In addition to Buenos Aires, Viviana and Isidoro attended the tango congress in Miami Beach and danced in local milongas in Paris, Nice, Milan, Venice, Rome, New York, Asia and San Francisco.
Since 1997 Viviana and her husband have organized a weekly milonga
in Washington DC al the Spiral Art Center in Georgetown. After a while
this milonga was expanded so the dancers could enjoy a bigger venue,
"The Chevy Chase Ballroom". The milonga in Chevy Chase featured
live music by the DC Tango Trio, a group that they initiated and sponsored
specifically for this event. Now, they added DU-SHOR Dance Studio
with a Milonga.
In addition of being a Tango dancer and instructor, Viviana sells fine quality dance leather shoes for her students and everybody else that wants to feel comfortable on their feet. Visit www.vivianatango.com
